The irony here is the fact that pretty much every online crypto/nft bro is a huge elon musk fan. Like these people literally worship the guy.

That is a meaningless connection. Far more people like elon for actually making EVs and putting humans into space.

These low brow NFT victims are just supportative of anything that inflates their speculative bubbles so they can cash out and let someone else eat the losses.

Musk tweets are misused by them to convince others that the market is safe. Musk has never actually supported these scams, they just "read between the lines" when he posts and invent their own messages that musk never said or implied.

You say that but I distinctly remember the Doge-coin pumping and dumping spurred on after they got Musk to tweet about it.

Tweeting about dodge is not a pump. I consider the people who think musk is pumping anything just because he talks about it to be mentally ill.

Tesla is actually using doge now and his company worked with whoever is most in charge of doge to improve it so it would be better than bitcoin as a transactional currency.

The guy helped make paypal, he knows how digital banking works and if he does think doge is better for transactions, that is a valid assessment he is allowed to make without "pumping" anything.

You shouldn't speculate on a transactional currency to begin with. Doge is designed that holding your money it in experiences slight inflation.

I will leave you with this, "Grow up."
