Musk Loves Crypto, Again
Tesla founder Elon Musk said Wednesday he personally has invested in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but that he does not manipulate or "dump" the digital currencies.
In a wide-ranging online panel discussion that included Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey, Musk said he believes in cryptocurrencies as a way to "increase the power of the individual in relation to government," and that he has invested in ethereum and dogecoin in addition to bitcoin.
Musk said he loses money when the value of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies declines but that he has not been selling despite the volatility.
"I pump but I don't dump," he told the forum sponsored by the Crypto Council for Innovation.
"I would like to see bitcoin succeed."
Musk said he expected that Tesla would resume auto sales in bitcoin which he suspended over concerns about high energy use for "mining" of the cryptocurrency.
"Tesla's mission is accelerating the advent of sustainable energy," he said.
"We can't be the company that does that and also not do appropriate diligence on the energy usage... now the it looks like bitcoin is shifting a lot more towards renewables."
Dorsey, whose Square digital payments firm recently announced plans for a bitcoin wallet, said he is a staunch believer in the currency as a way to reduce transaction costs and improve people's lives.
He said he sees bitcoin as a "native currency" for the internet that allows more people to easily make cross-border payments and supports different online business models.
For Twitter, he said, bitcoin "creates so many different business models" which could for example reduce its dependence on advertising.
"We can't just see this as an asset that we own and an investment vehicle is something that has the potential to change everything and make the lives of everyone was kind of better in some small, maybe marginal way," he said.
"My hope is that it creates world peace."
What KXCO Is, and Why the Hard Problem Was Never Intelligence
The prevailing enthusiasm assumes the hard problem is intelligence. It is not. It is that banks, hospitals, courts and governments are being asked to let software act on their behalf with no way to establish who decided, on what basis, or whether the record will still read in a decade. KXCO founder Shayne Heffernan sets out the architecture that answers those questions, drawn as a graph, and argues that properly constructed AI is an amplifier of human judgement rather than a replacement for it.
Earnings, the Economic Calendar and Trading Strategies: September 8 to 12, 2026
A four-session week decides more than a print. Oracle reports after the close on Thursday 10 September, PPI lands that morning and CPI on Friday, with the ECB in between and the FOMC eight days out. Oracle is the last hyperscaler of the cycle and the widest value gap on the KXCO Ontology Live Analyst Outlook layer: a $457bn market value under a $638bn contracted backlog. Here is the calendar, the graph behind it, the levels and the book.
AI Intelligence Scales. Accountability Does Not. Why KXCO Is Built for It.
Capability is becoming abundant and everything abundant gets cheap. What does not get cheap is the person who has to sign, and they can only carry what they can see. Four conditions follow from that, and four independent authorities reached the first of them last month without knowing it.
AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
