After the price of Bitcoin fell Friday following Elon Musk’s “breakup tweet,” Alex Machinsky, CEO of Celsius Network, discounted the Tesla (TSLA) CEO’s role in cryptocurrency at the Bitcoin Conference 2021 in Miami.
“Elon [Musk] is a tourist in crypto,” Mashinsky told. “He’s here to collect followers. I don’t think he’s here to make the world a better place, and we can go to where we’re going with Elon or without Elon.”
Bitcoin’s price fell nearly 7 percent Friday after Musk tweeted a meme describing a breakup and captioning it ‘#Bitcoin’ with a heartbreak emoji.
