Jack Dorsey Calls Out Musk: "Let's Have a Good Chat"
After a long silence on Bitcoin-related tweets, Musk once again mocked Bitcoin enthusiasts this morning, asking:
How many Bitcoin maxis does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
He then self-answered in the voice of a Bitcoin maxi, "That's not funny."
How many Bitcoin maxis does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 25, 2021
Screwing in a lightbulb is a long-standing joke in American history used to mock a specific "group" for being unintelligent and inefficient.
Musk later replied to Jack Dorsey's tweet about The ₿ Word, saying:
Bicurious? Oh no, I mean Bitcoin, haha.
Jack Dorsey invited Musk to attend The ₿ Word together, suggesting that they could have a candid conversation and Musk could share all his curiosities about Bitcoin.
