    I think it rose after NASDAQ announced they would list Etherium on their data service. Had nothing to do with Musk.

    People like Musk with huge followings absolutely have an effect. 99% of crypto is pump and dump.

    I remember when someone hacked John McAfee's twitter account and started shilling random coins. It was funny to watch them instantly pump even after it was obvious he was hacked

    yep, from my article above:


    Issues with the Securities & Exchange Commission


    The Tweet comes at a time of celebration as Musk and federal regulators agreed to amend a settlement deal approved last October that required oversight of Musk’s social media use. The updated deal outlines a slew of topics regarding Tesla that Musk cannot tweet about until he obtains pre-approval from an “experienced securities lawyer.”

    The problems between the SEC and Musk escalated after the latter twitted a joke about the price of Tesla being rounded up to $420.

    “This calculation resulted in a price of $419. Musk stated that he rounded the price up to $420 because he had recently learned about the number’s significance in marijuana culture. He thought his girlfriend would find it funny, which admittedly is not a great reason to pick a price.'”
