Elon Musk denies having talks with Donald Trump about crypto
In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk, the visionary CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has vehemently denied any discussions with former President Donald Trump regarding cryptocurrency. The denial comes amidst swirling speculation and rumors linking the two influential figures in the world of technology and politics.
The speculation arose as Trump has recently been vocal in his support for Bitcoin (BTC), leading to conjecture that he may be using the popular digital currency as a means to garner support from voters. Furthermore, there have been whispers of a potential advisory role for Musk in Trump’s rumored 2024 presidential campaign.
Musk took to X, a popular social media platform, to address the rumors and set the record straight. In a post, Musk firmly denied any talks with Trump about crypto, putting an end to the speculations that had been circulating in the media.
Reactions to Musk’s denial have been mixed, with some expressing relief that the tech mogul is not aligning himself with the controversial former president, while others are disappointed at the missed opportunity for collaboration between the two influential figures.
In response to Musk’s denial, a spokesperson for Trump stated, “While President Trump values the opinions of tech leaders like Elon Musk, there have been no formal discussions regarding cryptocurrency or any potential advisory role in the 2024 campaign.”
The news of Musk’s denial is likely to have far-reaching consequences in the future, as it puts to rest the rumors of a potential partnership between the two high-profile personalities. Moving forward, it remains to be seen how Trump’s promotion of Bitcoin and Musk’s involvement in the cryptocurrency space will continue to evolve, with both figures holding significant sway in their respective fields.
