Is Elon Musk the Inventor of Bitcoin?
In spite of being a technogeek, Elon Musk to date doesn’t own cryptocurrency. Later Musk on Twitter confessed that he literally owns zero cryptos, excluding .25 Bitcoin sent by a friend years ago. A former intern at SpaceX unintentionally started a rumor with a blog post.
He wrote that Satoshi is probably Elon Musk because he is a self-taught polymath. The intern further added that Elon Musk repeatedly innovated over multiple sectors by only reading books on the subject. This is how he built rockets, invented Hyperloop by applying that knowledge.
According to the intern, he could have also invented bitcoin. However, Elon Musk denied the rumors that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. Although many people claimed to be Satoshi, the real identity of the BTC inventor is yet to be proved.
