In January, Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned Bitcoin in an innuendo-filled tweet that went viral<\/a> on Twitter and within the media in the industry. At the time, the technologist wrote that BTC “is *not* my safe word” in a seeming attempt to rile up the crypto community.<\/p>\n

On May 1st, Musk continued his attempts to play with the feelings of Bitcoin enthusiasts, tweeting about it twice, eliciting a strong response from every corner of the cryptocurrency industry for the second time in months.<\/p>\n
