Musk in the near future: Transaction efficiency is irrelevant in a Proof of Work system as the energy consumption is a function of asset price and block rewards. I will no longer touch any PoW asset as it stands against everything we stand for. Exploring Chia.
Then we have data storage black markets, people saying goodbye to old photos because run out of storage. Developers pivot to pole dancing because they cannot install Xcode anymore on their drive and cannot afford a larger one.
There is no reason to believe this is true and/or will be productive. I don't know anything about Musk himself that suggests he would be of unusual help in this field.
It's interesting watching the grift happen in real time.
Musk has gained more from this market than any other human alive. From the over valuations to the cult of personality, he will be the poster for the 2010/2020s financial markets. It would be dumb for him not to get involved and influence in everything that is ‘now’. He has been on SNL, made songs with his musician girlfriend, has been in movies, got involved in celebrity dating drama, created companies for meme material, got in legal trouble for running his mouth, influences cryptos with tweets, moved to Austin, runs companies in the green energy space, heavy into AI.
I am surprised he hasn’t done anything with - well what is left?
