Elon Musk is the new Donald Trump of the Markets.
As Elon Musk tweets go, so does the markets especially the cryptocurrency market, namely Dogecoin, Bitcoin & CumRocket among the main ones. (Trump had similar effects from his tweet as president of the United States on the stock market.) The billionaire and Tesla CEO has been have been specifically tweeting about crypto a lot recently affecting prices by up sometimes fewer than 80 characters and memes of dogs.
I am not sure what his game plan is most recently but Elon Musk have been driving the price of Bitcoin down relentlessly and with coordinated and precision attacks at some of the weakest low liquidity trading times. Musk’s tweets may not be for his own financial gains, but they are highly affecting crypto investors and he is attracting a lot of hate from the community currently for his actions.
My main questions are why is he doing it? Can anyone stop him? What will be the long-term effects of his actions? Could he be driving down the price so that us retail investors can hop on for a highly discounted ride to the moon?
