Honestly I wish he would 'leave' SpaceX too.

~~I caught his livestream for the latest Starship launch, and he literally introduced the event with a 10-minute speech on "saving your life" by buying crypto, and how they would match your crypto if you used his link or something. WTF was all that, and WTF did that have to do with SpaceX.~~ --So that was a scam/fake video, but my top comment is still how I feel!

You are the victim of YouTube scam channels pretending to be SpaceX...

SpaceX no longer streams on YouTube anymore, so anything you see will be fake.

It's also disappointing YouTube is so bad at catching these. During IFT4 that was literally the most watched stream, had more viewers than Everyday Astronaut for example.

EDIT: holy shit - I tried googling it since i thought I was taking crazy pills, and it says that was an AI-video that dubbed over elon?!

I consider myself pretty keen on scam stuff (well... I didn't buy any crypto so I guess I'm still good here) but man when I saw it I just shook my head an ignored it. I didn't realize it was fake.

wow.

also, to be fair, he has been a proponent of crypto in the past.

Pump&Dump?
Musk bought into some shitcoin that crashed before he made profit, so even if he gives half away, the slight boost on price will let him dump the rest for less losses... Maybe?
