Although there are certain ideas and infrastructures behind the vast majority of cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin, which was created on an internet joke, attracted attention as a crypto money that did not make such a claim. This cryptocurrency, which chose a cute shiba inu dog as its logo, attracted great attention.
One of the names that showed interest in Dogecoin was Elon Musk. Despite selling a large amount of Bitcoin before, Musk, who went to hide his Dogecoins, made moves to “send Doge to the Moon” and multiply its value, especially in 2021, in crypto terms. Jackson Palmer, one of the creators of Dogecoin, made a statement on the subject.
Palmer reveals he is uncomfortable with Musk
Elon Musk and the reddit group SatoshiBets launched an internet campaign to increase the value of Dogecoin in 2021. Reminding this issue in an interview with Insider, Palmer stated that he was tired of the inclusion of this crypto currency, which he helped create 8 years ago, in these discussions.
Stating that he started Dogecoin as a hobby project at first, Palmer said that this situation is disturbing now. Palmer added that despite deleting all of his social media accounts, his affiliation with Dogecoin “follows him like a bad smell”.
Palmer, who is close friends with fellow Dogecoin creator Billy Markus, did not find Musk’s interest in Doge surprising.
This isn’t the first time Palmer and Musk have faced each other.
Palmer previously called Musk “He thinks he’s Iron Man.” and described the billionaire name as a “scammer”. Elon Musk, on the other hand, previously said in a tweet series that “his own children can code better at the age of 12” and claimed that Palmer did not write a single line of code for Doge.
Musk, who previously announced that he would be paid for Tesla with Dogecoin, had a great impact on the crypto money markets with his tweets over the past year. He was even sued for some Dogecoin shares. Musk previously said, “I didn’t tell anyone to buy cryptocurrencies.”
Currently, Elon Musk is also a party to a $258 billion lawsuit over complaints that he and his companies are committing a cryptocurrency scam.
