Perhaps plausible until you mention that they hired a team to build it.

There's no way, even if it was a single-digit number of people team that they would remain silent. If it was just Elon/Thiel I could perhaps believe it.

Also keep in mind that there were some very desperate years for Elon where his companies were extremely close to bankruptcy, wouldn't he have tapped into that bitcoin if he had access to it?

That's not how business works. You borrow, then borrow some more, and focus on having a long term plan to cover the interest, so you don't upset the banks or end up broke again.

Doesn't Elon sell Bitcoin whenever he needs a few hundred million these days?

The fact that we don't understand how someone could've come up with something like PayPal or Bitcoin might be exactly why Elon and Peter are the richest people on the planet.

JPMorgan moves $10 trillion a day. Would you sleep at night knowing you publicly admitted being involved in a project whose only mission is to bring them down?


Because Elon is so humble…


Seems fairly humble to me in that he's always thanking the team and giving them most of the credit.


The definition of humility is not "doing the bare minimum."


Can you name me a self made billionaire who is more humble?


Why would a humble billionaire pretend to be #1 in poe2 and then hire a team to run his pretend account, that's not humility that's deceit.

Stop glazing him sheesh.


I don't know anything about poe2 so I can't comment on that.
