While Elon Musk has yet to formally delve into the Bitcoin space, he has long been a fabled member of the crypto community. Since finding his way to the headlines of the world’s media, the Tesla chief executive’s pro-innovation mindset has struck a chord with many enamored with cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

In fact, some say that Musk’s unsaid\u00a0raison d’etre<\/em> of bettering society at large, especially by amending the world’s most harrowing issues (climate change, confinement on Earth, financial inequality), lines up with the goals held by many cryptocurrency\u00a0insiders.<\/p>\n

Thus, some have even argued that Musk<\/a> could be Satoshi Nakamoto.\u00a0Sahil Gupta, a former intern at Musk’s second multi-billion dollar enterprise SpaceX, once infamously claimed that Musk’s brief mentionings of cryptography, economics, the C++ computing language, along with the entrepreneur overarching vision scream Satoshi. The South African-Canadian entrepreneur has done his best to keep his mouth zipped regarding his candidacy for the Satoshi title, but that hasn’t stopped him from talking about cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

We had @elonmusk<\/a> on the latest episode of @ARKInvest<\/a>'s podcast! <\/p>\n

He had a few things to say about Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
