According to media reports, Dogecoin co-creator Jackson Palmer said in an interview with Australian media on Monday that “Musk is a liar. He touts a vision and looks forward to one day fulfilling his promise, but He doesn’t know if it’s going to happen or not. He’s just good at pretending that he’s sure. Tesla’s promise of full self-driving is a prime example of that.”
Palmer said he messaged Musk on Twitter years ago. At the time, Palmer wrote a code script that could detect and automatically report cryptocurrency scams on Twitter. He gave this script to Musk and some influential people in the currency circle at the time.
“It soon became apparent that Musk didn’t understand the code at all as he appeared to be,” he said. “He asked me, ‘How do I run this Python script?'”
After that, “I’m not a fan of him anymore. My attitude toward him and all the billionaires has become indifferent.”
Musk tweeted on Tuesday: “You said your crappy piece of Python code can take care of a robot. Well man, show the world,” adding, “Jackson sent me bad code, My kids were 12 and they could write better code than this.”
Musk added, “I said before that if that code is really that good, he should share it with the world for a better experience on Twitter. If he does, you’ll understand me. What exactly does that mean.”
In 2013, Palmer and Billy Markus created Dogecoin based on the Shiba Inu meme that went viral. Marcus and Palmer just wanted to take it as a joke and didn’t take it seriously, but surprisingly, the community around Dogecoin has exploded. But both of them left the Dogecoin project in 2015.
In recent years, Musk has become a staunch supporter of Dogecoin, promoting the cryptocurrency through various channels including Twitter. In addition to investing in Dogecoin, Musk also mentioned working with its developers to optimize Dogecoin’s network. The billionaire even influences the price action of Dogecoin because of his tweets and comments.
The Tesla CEO has maintained a friendly relationship with Marcus online, but not with Palmer.
Many people think we are in a “crypto winter,” but Palmer disagrees. “Cryptocurrency promoters are still attracting a lot of money. They are waiting for new leeks to come in. This is cyclical. After a while, the collective memory of the world will fade and forget how bad the scam is,” he said.
“I wish this was the end of cryptocurrencies, but sadly it isn’t. On a larger scale, in this system of fraudulent economy, hypercapitalism, rentier capitalism, more and more people are Making money by not doing it is literally ditching all of us. And so, this creates a very strange psychological problem: 5 to 10 years ago, people would have used common sense to think, ‘This is weird ‘. That attitude is normal. But now, even with the obvious fraud, they’re thinking, ‘Do I really care?'”
