Same as OP'S other thread.
They made these threads to move the steam points from their VAC'ed account to this alt.
Pretty stupid method I'd say. I am not sure how spam/removed threads are handled as far as awards go, in case they vanish it would make a lot more sense to simply spam group discussions of a new group to no penalty.
I'm not sure if it's official or not, but I recall it being mentioned that awards are kept even if the threads/artwork/reviews are locked or deleted.

Billy Markus (Code name "Shibetoshi Nakamoto")

There's also Jackson Palmer as a co-worker.

Both software engineers originally from IBM and Adobe.

It's not the owner, it's the creator and as of now he's an investor like any other. He's pretty active on Reddit.

Hmm...

I wonder who's opinion actually matters here...

A guy worth over 150 billion, or the guy worth 0 billion? Wow, that's a tough one.

I'm not an Elon fan, but he actually was on the receiving end of market manipulation just a few years ago. Have a look at the Tesla Short Squeeze.

To answeer the op i wouldent think it would be any different with steams own crypto.

ppl mad at elon musk everywhere i go. why be mad at a successful african-american?

He's an innovative and motivated jerk. That's a dangerous mix.

- His morals and ethical values are to be questioned

- He attempted to sue an US State to bypass covid lockdown and launch off space junk

- The space junk reflected light too much and became a global eye sore

- He then sold out the Space-X Starlink Internet to the US Military and Government for global spying to help pay for it

- He once called a rescue diver who saved 12 Thai school boys trapped in a cave "the pedo guy"

- He peddled misinformation about the covid in order to push his business and then exploited it to gain even more profits

- He exposed his own Tesla workers to Covid as a result

- Some of his Tesla workers were paid as little as $5

- He then attempted to secure funding to take Tesla private, but got fined for it

- He compromised safety at his factory because he wanted it to look cooler

- He uses market manipulation tactics

- His utopian plan is to move 1 million people to Mars by 2050 and have them owe loans to him which will be required to pay back through work upon their arrival. Cheap labour settlers (indentured servitude) tackles

- He flooded and then screwed up crypto market, able to drop or increase it with a single tweet, which others just leech off or lose everything upon. He wants to wipe out and drop the price of Bitcoin and pump it into a DogeCoin. Just because of scammers, he became a scammer himself. He withdrew his own Tesla sales from using crypto, as he didn't want to be affected by it himself and was the root cause.

- He has donated $150 million, but if he's claimed to be worth $150 billion, that's nothing except a tax write-off?

Between genius and mad-man is actually a thin line. I see pros and cons with him, but other people giving him far too much power and control.

That's not what's going on, it is a much deeper and complex situation than what the news are reporting.

The global market is experiencing serious issues of liquidity and hyper-inflation (again) and the Covid has sped up most of its underlying dynamics. To put things in perspective, the reverse repo has currently a negative interest.

Long story short there are new regulations in place that require banks, hedge funds and market makers to have more liquidity to avoid overleveraging (a constant issue from the 80s), and liquidating large positions in crypto was one the consequences.

If you want to have a deeper look, these are the rules:
  • SR-DTC 2021 003
  • SR-DTC 2021 004
  • SR-DTC 2021 005
  • SR-DTC 2021 006
  • SR-DTC 2021 007

  • SR-NSCC 2021 002
  • SR-NSCC 2021 004
  • SR-NSCC 2021 005

  • SR-OCC 2021 003
  • SR-OCC 2021 004

  • SR-ICC-2021-005
  • SR-ICC-2021-007
  • SR-ICC-2021-008
  • SR-ICC-2021-009
  • SR-ICC-2021-014

  • Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3 Compliance Letter
  • MSBS978-21: FICC Notice

TL;DR: He's not manipulating the market and the crypto movements are connected to institutions' fallback measures.

Edit: formatting.

A market manipulator only works when they have enough blind puppet followers.

A guy worth over 150 billion, or the guy worth 0 billion? Wow, that's a tough one.
The guy critical of a billionaire who continually gets bailouts, or the guy who fancies himself one/a blind fan. Wow that's a tough one.

Seems Anonymous even agrees with me and warned Elon Musk in regards to the Bitcoin. Seems that Tesla profited more from Bitcoin than the selling of cars and he has over $1.5 billion invested into it, but wants to cut the ties of the carbon footprint damage he's done on the world as a result of it. So he's playing both sides of the market. Dumb but smart.

How the heck did this thread get 23 awards?

Fools who believe crypto is the future. Which it isn't.
