I like Musk. Well, I guess it would be more correct to say “I like where he’s investing his money. Space X is amazing”. But at the same time, I see his comments here as straight up market manipulation. I’d bet he shorted BTC before going on SNL, so he made money on the plunge. Then, when it hit the “bottom” after his remarks, he buys a bunch, comes out and makes another statement that causes it to shoot up, and he makes money again.
He was shilling Dogecoin on SNL, not Bitcoin.
They are not remotely the same thing.
