[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] The international hacker group Anonymous has targeted Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, accusing him of mocking cryptocurrency market participants on social networking services (SNS). At the Bitcoin event "Bitcoin 2021 Convention" held in Miami, Florida, USA, voices criticizing CEO Musk grew louder.

According to the UK Daily Mail on the 5th (local time), Anonymous posted a video on YouTube titled "Anonymous' Message to CEO Musk." In the video, Anonymous stated, "Many people's lives have been destroyed because of the pranks CEO Musk plays in the cryptocurrency market," and added, "Millions of individual investors have participated in the cryptocurrency market to change their lives."

Anonymous also hinted at hacking attacks. They said, "Investors know they must bear risks, but recent Twitter posts by CEO Musk clearly show disdain for ordinary workers," and warned, "Musk may think he is the smartest, but this time he has met his match." However, cryptocurrency-focused foreign media CoinDesk explained that since the identity cannot be confirmed, it is difficult to verify definitively that the video was made by Anonymous.

Recently, CEO Musk has continued actions that disrupt the cryptocurrency market. On the 4th, he posted on Twitter the words "Canada, USA, Mexico" arranged vertically. Taking the first letters of each word in English forms a word referring to male bodily fluid. He also posted emojis of a water droplet, rocket, and moon. The cryptocurrency market interpreted this as targeting the cryptocurrency "CumRocket," which is used for trading adult content, and the price of CumRocket surged by 400%.

General investors also raised their voices in criticism of CEO Musk. According to the US economic media Fox Business on the 4th, attendees at the "Bitcoin 2021 Convention" held in Miami poured out condemnation of CEO Musk's actions. When Max Keiser, host of the famous economic broadcast Kaiser Report and a cryptocurrency investment strategist, insulted CEO Musk, the attendees reportedly responded with cheers.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is showing a downward trend. According to the domestic cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, as of 7:29 AM on the 7th, Bitcoin was recorded at 41.66 million KRW, down 0.66% from the previous day. It has fallen for three consecutive days since the 4th.
