He doesnt have that kind of technical expertise, unless you mean he commissioned someone to do it.

You'd need to have a solid grasp on the math of cryptography just to envision something like bitcoin/blockchain.

I have no clue about all this stuff. If he invented or commisioned, i think both would be crazy. People asking themselves for over a decade who satoshi is and it turns out to be the richest man on the world? So absurd but at the same time makes so much sense

Bitcoin is a clever piece of code floating around in the network, and was pretty dormant for many years.

Musk, on the other hand, is a doer. He drove Tesla, built gigafactories, built spacecraft, trimmed the twitter workforce within a week, etc. Just not in his personality to sit around a few years waiting for something to happen (as per bitcoin).

Sorry i just dont see Musk being Satoshi. Personality mismatch.

Musk is, by all accounts, unable to write good code.

Zip2 his code was scrapped, as was his code he contributed to x.com

By all accounts Musk is trash at anything technical. He's a hype man, mostly for himself. He claims to be changing the world to get dumb money on board which he then lets other people put to good use.

Now, that's not to say being a hype man isn't important. It definitely is. But we should acknowledge that the only reason Elon has lasted this long is because of his talent for fraud and his connections that let him avoid those consequences.

as much as i hate musk, steve jobs was pretty much the same so it's unlikely he'll have much consequences

I don't think that's true. I haven't seen examples of Jobs blatantly lying to investors to secure emergency funding the way Musk has continuously through his career.

Jobs was mostly a hype man but he seems to have actually contributed technically and directionally in a way Musk just hasn't.

design and direction for sure, technically it was all steve and his engineers

he was very good at creating hype and was very charismatic that a lot of people revered him as a god, which is what musk is/was doing

you can't say he wasn't the one that changed the automotive industry with tesla or aerospace with spacex
