Satoshi, Elon Musk and the Race for the World’s Largest Fortunes
Beyond speculations about the Bitcoin creator’s identity, this news has also reignited debates about Satoshi Nakamoto’s position in the hierarchy of the world’s largest fortunes. With the recent surge in BTC price, his “theoretical” wealth would now surpass that of major figures like Sergey Brin, Larry Ellison, or Mark Zuckerberg.
The hypothesis that Elon Musk himself might be Satoshi Nakamoto has been circulating for years. Although the Tesla CEO has always denied it, his humorous interactions with Bitcoin continue to maintain the mystery within the crypto community.
Moreover, Michael Saylor recently tweeted “Satoshi” under an image of the new Grok companion on X. The mystery continues to sustain itself, becoming a meme in its own right.
In conclusion, beyond the apparent lightness of Elon Musk’s tweet, this scene reminds us that Bitcoin is not just a simple asset. It’s a system of values, a technological achievement, and a major geopolitical issue. If Satoshi’s wallets were to be compromised, it would be a seismic event with aftershocks resonating far beyond digital markets. Meanwhile, the shadow of a laughing emoji is still enough to shake our certainties.
