Elon Musk's cryptic tweet that created a buzz attracted comments from many.
You have to hand it to Tesla CEO Elon Musk when it comes to sharing cryptic tweets that cause a frenzy among tweeple. If you are a regular user of the micro-blogging site, then you may be aware that among the different subjects Musk tweets about, bitcoin is one of his favourites, especially when it comes to obscure posts. Just like his recent share that has a reference to Satoshi Nakamato.
Though it is known that a person or a group created this bitcoin under this pseudonym, no one knows about their real identity. Over time, some also speculated that the SpaceX CEO himself is Satoshi Nakamato, while others proposed different theories. While the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is still a mystery, this recent post by Musk revived the rumors and created a chatter among many, especially social media sleuths.
Musk, without any caption, shared an image. The picture shows names of four major electronics giants Samsung, Toshiba, Nakamichi, and Motorola. In this picture, certain groups of letters are circled in red.
