Elon musk is for crypto or just for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX?

Talking about making things interesting and causing people's heads to turn.
There was a cybertruck decaled in Doge for a demonstration of StarLink in this post on X recently:

https://x.com/teslaownersSV/status/1904361714805862859

Grabbing the attention like hot cupcakes.

But I don't think it made anything more particular on the chart of the doge (and I am happy for it).

Topics like this raises my curiosity to how the crypto world can be influenced to face a particular direction in favor of a person. I think they are just using this tokens to gain the hearts of people and I return have more exposure to their newbie tokens…just exploring their community..

Trump has done the exact same thing but with the way stocks are influenced.
Just look late last night on announcement made of the 25% tariffs on the automotive industry.
Things like this tend to also affect the price on other tickers including bitcoins.

Same with Trump token. When he tweeted about it the other day, it did not move more than 2-3% when usually it would by 10-25% in the past.

With Doge, Elon sees it as a meme and nothing more. He doesn't care if it pumps or dumps because the monetary value of it does not concern him.
He has seen it as something that is recognized as a cultural phenomenon. Where everyone instantly recognizes it.
So he uses it as an attention setter so he gain more attention to his own brands. Space X, Tesla and X.

is it safe to say that elon musk still has doge in mind? these are all parts of elon musk’s identity: starlink, tesla and doge i am surprised there is no face of trump somewhere here

Have Dogecoin in mind. I will say yes; is he still interested in it? I would prefer to say that he's interested in Dogecoin, as the memecoin has appeared to be what he uses as his connection with people, thereby doing so attracting more attention to his business. He's using it as some form of promotion and awareness campaign for all his companies, and he's pretty good at doing that.

Many people were expecting Trump to make a big announcement, possibly about eliminating capital gains taxes on crypto, but it was more of the same. He talked about the strategic reserve and about increasing the US dollar's dominance through stablecoins. Centralized and censorable stablecoins undermine cryptocurrency’s best features, so this is not something that excites nor interests me in any way.

What if they are ready to move on to their next phase? If Fort Knox was compromised or the existing gold was not there, then maybe they can make stable coin as a way or Crypto Reserves as a new Fort Knox. What if Fort Knox was really compromised? What may happen to the value of the Dollar?

If this news does not excite you, then I am surely excited by what is about to come to the Crypto world, and it could surely change many lives.

I don't really like Elon Musk hyping DOGE this much. It makes many want to buy in a FOMO state rather than their usual chill status, making the Coin just plummet below instead of getting it skyrocket up. Trump and Elon Musk both are well-known personalities that should stay away from promoting Crypto as many are getting locked in because of buyers becoming very FOMO on certain coins that they are hyping.

If fort knox turns out empty it will be the biggest fraud of modern times. I dont think theres even a chance of it being empty

DOGE started well intentioned and led to positive movement for cryptos but now will all the controversies i think many crypto investors wish it wasnt named DOGE

The thing with this design of these Cybertrucks are that if those who hate Teslas try and key or damage this one, nobody will ever notice not even the owner.
Some good news this past week was they caught the person who firebombed the Tesla dealership and destroyed all those teslas and even arrested that really fat guy who was ramming his four wheeler into the side of a tesla's owners car who was parked infront of his restaurant.
Those who vandalize their cars don't realize they have cameras at many angles so they are filmed while trying to make off with committing a crime. Which is basically like watching an episode of The World's dumbest Criminals.

As for the gold being in Fort Knox, I am certain there is gold being stored there. Even if is being flown in from Germany and China. Atleast they can see it is there, as we all know these government always are working behind the scenes and posing behind smoke and mirrors to make themselves look good in the publics eyes. Such as this CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and X routinely does.
Elon did say he will be making a show out of the whole ordeal and livestream it of course on his X platform for the whole world to witness when he rightly feels like it. So obviously, no ETA on when this is going to happen.

Missed the rally for PEPE coin after musk tweeted an image last week-
https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/pepe-on-a-rally-after-elon-musks-tweet

it apparently rose 15% in a day after the tweet 

[MinoRaiola]

it apparently rose 15% in a day after the tweet 

Maybe it happens a little more like other coins. I think the time of Elon Musk and the postings on X and the extreme pumps is maybe over. Pepe is his new playball, before that it was Doge. I remember very well the postings for doge and the extreme pumps. But since the price has dropped again, the trust in Elon is not so high anymore... when he posts. At the moment it is Donald Trump, when he posts something the market moves up and down. I suspect that someone else with a lot of power or money will follow.

The current market is being manipulated so hard to the point that everything he says affect the whole market like what Trump is doing last year. Well, it’s beneficial if you can ride the hype train and taking profit from it but sometimes it’s tiring that there are people that can control the flow of money, the essence of crypto which avoids decentealization is now gone. But now, at least there are people who opened their eyes after the recent market dump that it’s not always about them.

I would have to agree with both on all points.
First it was Doge as you can see on one of his CyberTrucks decaled every inch with it's image.
Now with him posting a meme of a pepe dressed as an all American superhero.

He views all of these cryptocurrencies as nothing more than a marketing tool used at his own peril.
Because neither have a founder so he can use them at his discretion. Without fallout of being sued for doing so.

Think he should be concentrating more on the political implications of what has transpired in the past week instead.
With the entire state of California suing the Trump administration inwhich he is a part of:

You are right because the crypto market is not dependent on anyone. A tweet from Elon Mask could not have that much impact on the market. But the price of PEPE Coin has already fallen further.

Yeah that could be true. Part of me wants to believe that there's a human being in him somewhere that is prone to enjoying stuff that other humans enjoy, but with every day the evidence becomes fewer and farther between. I used to root for him and think he was gonna do great things for Dogecoin, but now its pretty obvious he's kind of fucking with the whole country. Whether or not his role in D.O.G.E. will lead to anything actually better for the country, I'm kinda doubting it at this point..

The more he keeps his opinions to himself and that includes his views on certain memecoins, the better it is for the entire cryptocurrency market.
He hasn't done anything in the past week on X about cryptocurrency and it has done a reversal on the price.

There are other ways for Musk to exploit Pepe!

Musk did have to cut back his time looking after his own companies so to take on the responsibilities at D.O.G.E.
But the chair at Tesla denies reports that they are seeking a replacement for Elon as CEO of the electric car company today:

Lol. Elon Musk is history. Especially after what he did during his tenure as head of D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency). People already noticed he uses manipulation to get what he wants. You can see Dogecoin's price haven't moved "an inch", even after the constant "shilling" from the tech entrepreneur.

Last time I've checked, Elon's "X" made a partnership with VISA to bring digital payments to the platform. But there were no mention of Dogecoin whatsoever. I guess he deceived investors with his false promises (integrating DOGE payments on "X"). It's time to turn the page and move on with our lives. At least, BTC is doing well. And that's what matters here.

Not only a partnership with a credit card company but also an entire town for his SpaceX company to create a rocketship launch site there.

Heard this news a couple of days ago but didn't think it was in a realm of possibility but here it is:

There is a city called Starbase and it is a city for SpaceX under Elon.

Speculation had been swirling every since Musk took on the duties for his government post at D.O.G.E that Elon might just relinquish his post at his other companies such as Tesla.
But has put out a statement just now he does not have an plans to for atleast the next five years:

Yea nobody gives up power willingly, atleast he seems to not be in favor of trump anymore , until he went to middle east with him , so who tf knows whats happening 

Those two manbabies practically should never get along

Elon stepping away from DC is not good news for crypto regardless

There does seem to be deals made in the middle east with the latest news of how Musk tries to block Altman having a deal with OpenAI in the United Arab Emirates.
