The Musk Effect 2.0: From OpenAI ICO Rumors to SpaceX's Crypto Plans 🚀
Elon Musk is once again at the epicenter of the crypto community's attention. As the market discusses his latest moves, it's becoming clear that the billionaire's influence on the industry extends far beyond simple tweets about Dogecoin.
What's important to know right now:
🔹 The $10 Billion Admission: Recent court documents and leaks confirmed that in early 2018, Musk seriously approved the idea of launching an ICO for OpenAI for $10 billion. Although he later "killed" the project due to reputation concerns, the fact itself shows that Elon saw the potential for tokenizing AI projects even before it became mainstream.
🔹 SpaceX's Crypto Strategy: Ahead of a potential IPO in 2026 (with a valuation of up to $1.5 trillion!), SpaceX has actively started moving its Bitcoin assets. In recent months alone, the company has transferred hundreds of millions of dollars in BTC to new addresses. This fuels rumors that crypto will become part of SpaceX's official balance sheet upon going public.
🔹 xAI and Infrastructure: Musk's new company, xAI, has raised a record $20 billion with support from Nvidia. The Colossus supercomputer already boasts over a million GPUs. Industry whispers suggest that creating such a powerful base could intersect with blockchain infrastructure, especially regarding decentralized computing and payments within the X ecosystem.
Bottom Line: Despite occasional skepticism, Musk continues to hold his position as the largest "whale" and influencer. His companies don't just own crypto; they are building the foundation where AI and blockchain could merge into one.
What do you think, will we see the integration of crypto payments into X or SpaceX in 2026? 👇
