Even though he is a fan of Dogecoin, Musk is a noted hater of NFTs.
A characteristically cryptic Musk has changed his profile picture to what appears to be a stolen picture of Bored Ape NFTs.
In an apparent mockery of the tech, Musk said "I dunno, seems kinda fungible."
The image was used as a promotional asset for a sale at the famed auction house.
As much as I admire your work, I would like you to remove your profile picture.
You can either credit me or send the original file with the buyer's approval.
The crowd is irate.
One fan wrote that he was just trolling the NFT community.
The investor wrote that Elon Musk made a collage of his bored profile pic and trolled NFT owners.
Musk dislikes NFTs. In December, he mocked the token as a sign of mental illness, posting a meme showing a patient lying on a therapist's couch.
The NFT profile picture feature was rolled out to the Blue subscribers.
He said it was annoying and that it was spending engineering resources on this bs.
The picture has changed a lot since then, with the leadership of the site agreeing to sell it to Musk.
It's doubly interesting because Musk has voiced concerns over the scam on several occasions during the sale proceedings, promising to put an end to them once and for all. Millions of dollars worth of NFTs have been stolen on an almost weekly basis in the space.
The sales of which have flatlined recently after hitting record highs late last year, could be a result of his renewed interest, according to The Wall Street Journal.
After Musk changed his profile picture, the token created by Yuga Labs soared 19 percent.
Will NFTs go up again, with more celebrities spending seven figure sums on ugly apes?
All it takes is a cryptic message sent out by Musk.
The Bored Ape NFT project received a brief token of Musk's profile change.
There is a report that hackers get away with $13.7 million worth of Bored Ape NFTs.
