Elon Musk makes crypto headlines again

In response to a tweet about Ethereum from last year posted by actor William Shatner, a Star Trek actor, Elon Musk tweeted that he is not building anything on it and is neither for nor against Ethereum.

Although, in the past, Musk did tweet that he wanted Ethereum even if it could be a scam.

William Shatner had written that he, Musk and Vitalik Buterin had been thinking of building a project on ETH but finally he started his own cryptocurrency project.

Previously, the Tesla CEO made it public knowledge that Bitcoin was not his safe-word and that he believed crypto, in particular, could become a substitute for cash but not a replacement for databases.

Musk also confessed that he still owns some BTC - 0.25 to be more precise.
