The fact that I actually know what he has done since he and his Goldman Sachs cronies got involved, and leveraged thier SV connections to get backing to start coinbase which has been a constant thorn in our side ever since MTGX went down.

That people who admit to '[being] a fan of Elon and Twitter...' are oblivious to the constant gaslighting, scams, and derision he has inflicted within the bitcoin community isn't a shock, what is disappointing is how few critics there are of his for his actions.

He tried to scam noobs into thinking Bcash was Bitcoin on Coinbase during the USAF, that was the final nail in the coffin after a long history of reversing transactions and closing accounts etc... but as I said they hold an obscene amount of Bitcoin despite having been hostile towards Bitcoin and what it represents.
