The billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla told Twitter followers that he, in fact, has never purchased cryptocurrency, and only holds a small amount of Bitcoin gifted by a friend.

The tweet was made in response to scam posts on Twitter claiming to be Mr. Musk requesting Ethereum. It’s an issue that has plagued the Twitter network, with scammers impersonating blockchain figures such as Vitalik Buterin in attempts to steal users cryptocurrency. Twitter users are warned to never send cryptocurrency to anyone claiming to be hosting a giveaway or event.

Whilst the businessman may not own cryptocurrency, it was reported in 2016 that he was not against the technology. When appointed to Trump’s team of advisers he declared that Bitcoin was, in fact, a “good thing”, although he did not elaborate in great detail.

Elon Musk’s lack of involvement with cryptocurrency is interesting, as decentralized technology firmly aligns with his professed aspirations for a better human society. Whether his involvement will change as blockchain technology develops remains to be seen.

Nice

I was rather surprised myself as Elon Musk is like the Willy Wonka of the tech world. Mind you if he decided he wanted to invest in some we would have plenty of money to do it even if bitcoin reaches half a million by 2020. I believe he will be integrating blockchain to his companies as that is the way we are moving forward. Elons idea for a global internet is genius as that will help everybody in the crypto world whether you are on the side of a mountain or the middle of the sahara.

Hehehe.. Yeah. Its quite clear he'll be inculcating blockchain into his businesses as that's the future now. He's pretty much doing the most here and its awesome.
