“Millions of retail investors rely on their cryptocurrency earnings to improve their lives. Gaming the price of cryptocurrencies destroys lives ,” Anonymous writes in the video, where the group refers to the fluctuations that the price of bitcoin suffers every time Musk deigns to criticize the cryptocurrency on Twitter.
Musk's last tweet about Bitcoin was published last Friday. The message in question featured a broken heart emoji alongside the hashtag #Bitcoin.
