Well-known entrepreneur Elon Musk it has too much power over the cryptocurrency and uses it too unceremoniously, according to the hacker group Anonymous. From their video message, it follows that the billionaire should prepare for an attack.
What do hackers accuse Elon Musk of?
First, the Anonymous team claims, most of Tesla’s revenue is not the result of car sales. The company receives government subsidies for innovations using clean energy. And it is with this money, according to hackers, that Tesla invested in bitcoin (and earned more on this than in the years of selling cars). Musk was forced to denounce the company’s involvement in this, the appeal says, because it was the only way he could keep the government money.
At the same time, the hackers emphasize, these innovations do not belong to him, since it was not Musk who founded Tesla, but two “much smarter people” than he Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning.
Anonymous doubts the sincerity of Musk, who called the reason for refusing to use bitcoin as payment for electric cars concern for the environment (since mining cryptocurrency requires huge energy costs). They believe that the entrepreneur should have known about this before, but tried to “play both sides”. In addition, his earlier move to create a bitcoin mining council was described by hackers as an attempt to centralize the industry and take control of it.
Especially dissatisfied with Anonymous ‘games’ with the cryptocurrency markets, which Musk arranged on his Twitter. These speculations have destroyed many lives, according to hackers.
What kind of games are Musk talking about on Twitter?
Elon Musk has repeatedly engaged in the promotion of cryptocurrencies. Any mention of a cryptocurrency by a billionaire on Twitter repeatedly raised its value. And when on Thursday, June 3, amid the rejection of bitcoin in Tesla, millarder posted a meme on Twitter with a hint of “farewell” to this currency, bitcoin fell by 7% during Friday trading.
This has hit the wallet of many people who have invested in cryptocurrency hard. “Millions of retail investors have really counted on their cryptocurrencies to improve their lives. This is something you will never understand, because you were born into the stolen wealth of an apartheid South African emerald mine and have no idea what the struggle is for most of the world’s working people, ” the hackers condemned Musk’s behavior.
Anonymous clarified that yes, these investors were aware of the risks and instability of the cryptocurrency, but Musk’s Twitter posts demonstrate his ” clear disregard for the average working person.” That while ordinary people lose their dreams because of his “public tantrums,” he continues to ” mock them with memes from one of his million-dollar mansions.”

What kind of person does Anonymous see Elon Musk as?
According to Hackers, Musk took advantage of the desire of many people to live in the world of the future – with electric cars and space flights. They believe that his well-designed public image is starting to crumble recently. “People are starting to see you as nothing more than another rich, narcissistic dude in desperate need of attention,” the appeal says.
The hackers called the billionaire’s goal of saving the world a superiority complex and a “savior” and said that the entrepreneur’s motives clearly have nothing to do with concern for the fate of humanity. At the same time, they stressed that Musk’s employees already know his true face, as they worked under his leadership in terrible conditions.
Anonymous also mentioned that the billionaire’s pretense is also obvious to the young children who work in his lithium mines, which are harmful to the local environment. According to the hackers, Musk has openly stated his willingness to ” stage coups to install dictators in places where his toxic products are mined.”
“You have even prematurely declared yourself the ‘Emperor of Mars’, a place where you will send people to die, ” Anonymous says. In their opinion, Musk’s fans have not yet noticed all these problems because of the potential benefits that his projects can bring to the world. But this is not for long, the appeal notes, as competition in this area is beginning to gain momentum.
“You’re just the only CEO who has gained a cult following thanks to the world’s social media posts and trolling,” Musk’s hackers finish off.
What exactly did the hackers warn Musk about?
Anonymous did not announce specific threats, but it clearly follows from the appeal that Elon Musk should prepare for a hacker attack. “You may think you’re the smartest person here, but now you’ve met a worthy opponent. We are Anonymous! We are the legion. Wait for us, ” they concluded their video with these words.
Who are Anonymous?
This is a modern international network of disparate activists and hacktivists( hackers), all members of which are anonymous. Some analysts praise Anonymous as Internet freedom fighters, while others condemn their actions and call them anarchists and cyber-guerrillas, or even cyber-terrorists.
They have a lot of major hacker attacks on their account. For example, they once managed to disable the computer systems of PayPal and the Church of Scientology. In order to protest, Anonymous often hacked various government resources. It is also known that they hacked and posted on the network 5 thousand accounts of members of the terrorist group “Islamic State” (banned in Russia) during the action “Operation Paris”.
