Over the past few weeks, the cryptocurrency world seems to be going through a roller coaster ride because of Elon Musk. In May, Musk informed through his tweets that Tesla would no longer accept bitcoin as payment. After that, Elon Musk made several tweets in the following days about bitcoin and its heavy energy usage. All this has played an important part in the significant drop in Cryptocurrency lately. Addressing these issues, a Hackers group “Anonymous” posted a video on Twitter warning Elon Musk about his tweets’ influence on Bitcoin.
After Elon Musk tweets about bitcoin, Its price has dropped significantly. Which made several Crypto investors angry. Several investors have completely lost their portfolio value and their money. If we look at the stats, Elon Musk’s tweets about bitcoin have eradicated more than $360 billion of value.
Recently a hacker group “Anonymous” threatened Elon musk for manipulating the cryptocurrency market with his tweets. The Hacker group posted a video on Twitter featuring a Guy Fawkes mask with a digitally altered voice. Surprisingly, Elon Musk has responded with a witty comment as always.

The anonymous further added that ” But now people are beginning to see you as another narcissistic rich person, who is desperate for attention”. And he said that Elon suffers from a “superiority complex” pointing to an article where he dubbed himself the Emperor of Mars.
Hacker group ended their video by stating “Elon Musk, you may think you’re the smartest person in the room, but now you have met your match.”
Anonymous threat video posted after Elon Musk’s tweet on a popular Linkin Park song
The billionaire Elon Musk has tweeted a meme on Twitter with the hashtag #Bitcoin. This meme includes a couple breaking up over the male partner quoting the famous Linkin Park song with the line “In the end, it doesn’t even matter”. Also, it includes a Bitcoin caption followed by a broken heart emoji.
