Can Musk’s Grok Crack Satoshi’s Bitcoin Wallet? Twitter Is Buzzing

The post Can Musk’s Grok Crack Satoshi’s Bitcoin Wallet? Twitter Is Buzzing appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Elon Musk , CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has stirred up the crypto crowd once again, this time with a simple laughing emoji. His reaction came after a playful post on X, where a user offered $200 to Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, to crack open the Bitcoin wallets believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto.

That single emoji was enough to send speculation swirling.

Grok says, “Challenge Accepted “

In response to the post, Grok accepted the challenge, though with a heavy dose of sarcasm. It pointed out that trying to brute-force a 256-bit private key is practically impossible, even with all the GPUs in the world.

As for the $200 tip? Grok joked it was “decent,” but nowhere near enough for a task that involves immense randomness and technical complexity.

Still, Musk’s reaction, paired with Grok’s response, has sparked fresh talk about Musk’s links to crypto and the identity of Bitcoin’s elusive creator.

Could Satoshi Become Richer Than Musk?

Elon Musk has an estimated net worth of $366B. With Bitcoin hovers at $118,400 and taking Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.029 million BTC into account, his current net worth is estimated at $129 billion. To dethrone Musk, BTC price/coin must cross $335,925 mark.

Nakamoto now trails behind tech giant Oracle’s Larry Ellison ($257 billion) and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg ($247 billion). As Bitcoin’s value skyrockets, some wonder if Satoshi could take over Musk as the world’s richest person.

Is Musk Actually Satoshi? That Theory Still Lives

Musk’s experience in cryptography and co-founding X.com, which later became PayPal, has long fueled speculation that he could be Satoshi. A former SpaceX intern even pointed to resemblances between Musk’s and Satoshi’s writings.

Musk stated, “ Not true ,” and dismissed all the speculation back in 2017. Nevertheless, his funny interaction with Bitcoin-related subjects backs speculation.

Final Take

Elon Musk’s playful reaction to the Satoshi wallet joke may seem harmless but in the crypto world, even a simple emoji can spark headlines.

As Bitcoin’s price keeps rising, the idea that its anonymous creator could one day surpass Musk in wealth is fueling even more curiosity.

For now, Musk’s humor keeps the mystery going and the crypto community watching closely.
