Hacking group Anonymous has warned Elon Musk to “expect us” in a video that accused the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX of ruining lives by manipulating cryptocurrency markets.

“This is a message from Anonymous for Elon Musk,” a person wearing the group’s signature Guy Fawkes mask said in a video posted on YouTube and Facebookon Saturday.

“For the past several years you have enjoyed one of the most favorable reputations of anyone in the billionaire class because you have tapped into the desire that many of us have to live in a world with electric cars and space exploration, but recently your carefully created public image is being exposed and people are beginning to see you as nothing more than another narcissistic rich dude who is desperate for attention,” they continued.

“It appears that your quest to save the world is more rooted in a superiority and savior complex than it is an actual concern for humanity.”

Alongside clips of news reports, the person continues: “This has been obvious to your employees for a long time, who have faced intolerable conditions under your command for years. It is also obvious to the young children working in your overseas lithium mines, which are destroying the local environment as well.”

The person goes on to say that “plenty” of other companies are working on space exploration and electric vehicles, but Musk is “the only CEO who has gained a cult following through sh*tposting and trolling the world on social media.”

The video was posted after Musk posted cryptic tweets on Thursday night suggesting he was ending his relationship with Bitcoin, prompting the cryptocurrency to tumble in value.

In the video, Anonymous claimed Tesla “made more money holding Bitcoin for a few months than in years of selling cars,” and that it was “widely believed” that Musk has been “forced to denounce” the company’s involvement with the cryptocurrency in order to retain government subsidies.

“It seems that the games you have played with the crypto markets have destroyed lives,” the person in the Anonymous video added.

“Millions of retail investors were really counting on their crypto gains to improve their lives… Of course, they took the risk upon themselves when they invested, and everyone knows to be prepared for volatility in crypto, but your tweets this week show a clear disregard for the average working person.”

Anonymous, which has been linked to cyberattacks on governments and corporations, then issued what appeared to be a direct threat to Musk.

“As hardworking people have their dreams liquidated over your public temper tantrums, you continue to mock them with memes from one of your billion-dollar mansions,” the person in the video said.

“You may think you are the smartest person in the room, but now you have met your match. We are Anonymous! We are legion. Expect us.”

I saw it trending yesterday, they should have hit him hard, then claim responsibility. Make him think twice before posting his memes.

He probably won’t be doing it any more. Notice when he went to SNL he barely said anything. He was probably warned of criminal financial laws breaches. Amongst others: You can’t market a financial instrument without a license.

I dont think his action are liable for a criminal suit,a slap on the wrist yes. He just tweeted a sentence and people took the face value. Remember when hesus told his possé to sell all their riches and follow him yet he himself had no roof over his head? Humans are gullible when an icon speaks :D:D

It can be criminal especially if you are holding a position . And there’s a host of laws.

They are hiding their faces.They are scared.They will do nothing.

Elon Musk pulled the legendary “Monkey Trader” move on Bitcon.

Just looked at their hit list and whats the worst they can do to him aside from hacking his company websites,emails, and social media accounts unless he has has some online nudes or something or damaging recordings, he probably deleted all of them thanks to these scare tactics.

Maybe they just wanted to scare him into stopping with his bitcoin tweets, though i personally hope they can damage his reputation I don’t really like arrogant loud mouths either.

Yes and no,people are greedy and gullible,US has tried many a ways to deter crypto currency and this is their chance to tell folks “we told you so”. Who knows maybe Elon and us govt are in cahoots? Anon tried to spike KKK but they came up empty even recently in the wake of the George Floyd murder that one turned out to just be data from old breaches repackaged as newly hacked data. If anything,Musk’s statements should have been capped in the beginning …disregard freedom of speech for a moment…but being liable for ruining peoples lives over utterances? Thats too farfetched and scary when it comes to money politics if his position has that much weight. FYI,anon has tweeted that that’s not their doing,wacha tuone vile katacheza

it

its unregulated… you can’t incriminate him for something unregulated

It’s regulated already. For example have you heard of notice 2014-21.
