Is it possible that Musk stumbled on the source of the mysterious creator of the virtual currency?
A meme posted in the middle of the night by the trollish CEO of the two companies offers a theory about the creator of the internet.
If you grab the first letters of the four major electronics giants, you'll get the commentary-free meme.

Like the rest of the internet, the identity of the person or group of people who created the digital currency seems to be something of a preoccupation for Musk.
At the end of the year, Musk said that Nick Szabo, the computer scientist who pioneered smart contracts back in the mid-2000s and laid the groundwork for digital currencies, is probably the creator of Bitcoin. Szabo denied that he is the real Satoshi.
The family of the late David Kleinman sued Craig Wright, the creator of the digital currency, for defamation in November of 2021.
While we will probably never know for sure, this stolen meme makes a plausible case that a tech person needed a pseudonym for their project and jammed together some letters from big electronics manufacturers. Musk may be a dirty meme thief, but in moments like this, you have to hand it to him.
The head of the CIA says that he has been doing mysterious cryptocurrencies work.
