• Musk more appearances than reality?

The co-developer of the cybercoin Dogecoin, which was designed as a fun currency, turned his back on the crypto scene some time ago. Palmer is also critical of Elon Musk and spoke in an interview with the Australian news site “Crikey” about his “interesting past with Elon”.

Musk less gifted in programming than claimed

According to Palmer, he contacted Musk on Twitter years ago when he wrote a program that automatically detects crypto scams in Twitter mentions and reports them to the responsible authorities. In this regard, it also has a collaboration with the co-founder and ex-boss of Twitter, Jack Dorseygiven.

The bot program developed by Jackson was made available to other crypto influencers and Elon Musk also asked the Dogecoin inventor for access to the script, he continues in the interview. After Jackson Musk made the bot available, it quickly became apparent that he was “not a fan of his”. Jackson justifies this with Musk’s knowledge of programming, which was apparently much less well developed than Musk himself had specified.

Tesla boss as a faker?

Speaking to the website, Jackson then delivered a scathing verdict on the billionaire: “He’s a crook, he sells a vision hoping that one day he can deliver what he promises, but he doesn’t know it. He’s just really good at pretending to know. That’s very evident in the Tesla promise of full self-driving.”

The Dogecoin founder also refers to the radiance that Elon Musk has on other people. “…the world loves crooks. They love the idea that they too could be a billionaire one day, and that’s the dream he’s selling. When he talks to other users on Twitter, they’re like, ‘Wow, Elon’s talking too me! Maybe I can be friends with him and even become a billionaire myself,'” Jackson continued.

Criticism also of the attempted Twitter takeover

Jackson also comments on Musk’s attempts to take over Twitter for billions with few friendly words. In fact, his first thought after hearing about the plans was, “I thought he was going to destroy Twitter.” And that fear finally materialized. “He’s sowed a lot of discord and distrust on the platform, and there’s a lot of employee attrition and attrition.” On the real reasons for buying Twitter, Jackson explains: “Do you really think this guy wants to buy Twitter? If so, why is he committed to it? His game is either to destroy all trust, or maybe he’s delusional enough , to believe he could build an alternative”. The other possibility would be that he wanted to massively reduce the price.

From Dogecoin founder to crypto community critic

Jackson not only shoots at Elon Musk, but has also commented on the crypto world with drastic words in the past. In 2019, in a tweet that is no longer available, he emphasized that the crypto experiment had failed and that one could now turn to other things. And even later, criticism from the Dogecoin co-inventor continued: “After years of study, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalist technology that was primarily developed to increase the wealth of its proponents through a combination from tax avoidance, reduced regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity,” Jackson specifically targeted the sector’s super-rich.

In his eyes, the victims are the small investors. But billionaires who manipulate the markets would be hailed as geniuses. This tweet should also be read in the direction of Elon Musk, after all, the billionaire has used his Twitter account several times in the past for comments on Bitcoin & Co. and thus caused sometimes significant price fluctuations on the market.
