Although we can debate the merits of such a party with a provocative title, Musk’s split is certainly not worthy of debate. Earlier this year, the Bitcoin community—including extremists—was Musk’s vocal supporters. He saw the value of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin saw the value of Musk, who is one of the most influential people on the planet. In many ways, this is a match made in heaven.

Screaming “F*ck Elon” may be a catharsis, but it won’t be effective. Remember who you are dealing with: an influential billionaire with a personality of “F*ck You”.
