The Bitcoin community wants Elon Musk to embrace Bitcoin to counter Trump, according to crypto trader Will Clemente and JAN3 CEO Samson Mow. Mow also suggests Tesla adopt a Bitcoin treasury strategy and offer launch discounts for SpaceX customers paying with Bitcoin. The feud between Musk and Trump escalated after Musk criticized Trump’s tax bill. Musk’s firm, Tesla, stopped accepting Bitcoin due to environmental concerns but still holds digital assets. Musk has yet to buy additional Bitcoin despite signing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve executive order three months ago.
Mow warns Musk to act before his fiat assets are frozen, urging the US to acquire Bitcoin to prevent being outpaced by other nations. Musk’s potential support for Bitcoin could have significant implications, with some speculating he would establish the largest BTC treasury, accept BTC in all his businesses, and advocate for Bitcoin as a pathway to freedom. The public feud intensified as both Musk and Trump exchanged insults on social media, with Trump suggesting cutting Musk’s government subsidies would save billions for the US. Musk, who has a history of discussing cryptocurrency, recently announced the rollout of a new messaging feature on his social media platform X, featuring “Bitcoin-style encryption.”
