Bitcoiners say Elon Musk should buy Bitcoin to win Trump feud

Mow also proposed that Musks SpaceX offer launch discounts to customers who pay in Bitcoin.

“Force a hard money standard on the money printers,” Mow said. It comes after Mow recently told Cointelegraph Magazine that its been three months since Trump signed the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve executive order, but he is yet to buy any additional Bitcoin. He said the US “has to start” acquiring Bitcoin this year to avoid being front-run by other nations.

In another comment to Musk, Mow added:

“At least do it before they freeze your fiat assets.”

Some Bitcoiners speculated that if Musk backed Bitcoin, he wouldn‘t hold back. Lomob co-founder and CEO Boyd Cohen said, “If Musk were to go BTC maxi, all bets are off in so many ways. He doesn’t do anything small.”

“He‘d build or buy his way to the biggest BTC treasury, he’d accept BTC in all his businesses, hed be joining Bitcoin Presidents on the world stage promoting it as the only path to freedom,” Cohen said.

The feud started after Musk left office as an adviser to Trump and then called his tax bill a “disgusting abomination” on June 3. It escalated on June 5 after both traded public insults on social media. Musk said Trumps plan for sweeping global tariffs “will cause a recession in the second half of this year.”

Meanwhile, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform that terminating Musks government subsidies and contracts would save “billions and billions of dollars” for the US government.

Musk has frequently mentioned cryptocurrency over the years. Most recently, on June 2, he said his social media platform X is rolling out a new messaging feature, XChats, which will have “Bitcoin-style encryption.”
