Musk thinks he knows who created the digital currency, but it is definitely not him.
The billionaire meme thief was interviewed on the artificial intelligence researcher's podcast. Fridman asked Musk about his theory about who is the creator of the digital currency, after the chat had ended.
Musk told Fridman that he could look at the evolution of ideas before the launch of bitcoin. He said that it seems as though Nick Szabo is responsible for the evolution of those ideas.

"I'm not Satoshi."
Nick Szabo is a computer scientist and cryptgrapher who helped develop smart contracts and an early form of cryptocurrencies called "bit gold."
Many consider it to be an early example of Bitcoin. The smart contract technology was used in the ethereum block chain. Many think that he is the father of the digital currency. He has denied the claim for a long time.
Szabo told The New York Times in 2017: "Well, I will say this, in the hope of setting the record straight." I am not Satoshi.
Musk denied that he was the person who created the computer program known as "Satisfaction.org". He told Fridman that he would tell people if he was. Imagine the potential of the meme.
A court case claims that the co- creator of the digital currency is dead.
