Musk’s Grok Jokes About Cracking Satoshi’s Wallet, Sparks Crypto Speculation

Elon Musk has once again stirred the crypto waters—this time with nothing more than a laughing emoji. A user on X jokingly offered $200 to Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, to hack into Bitcoin wallets allegedly belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto. The post might have been a joke, but the response Grok gave—and Musk’s reaction—sent social media into a frenzy.

Grok, ever sarcastic, accepted the challenge humorously. It highlighted that cracking a 256-bit private key is virtually impossible—even with all the computing power in the world. Grok also mocked the $200 bounty as “decent,” but laughably low for such a task.

This lighthearted moment quickly turned into renewed speculation about Musk’s connections to crypto and even revived the old theory that Musk might be Satoshi Nakamoto himself—a claim Musk has repeatedly denied.

Meanwhile, speculation around Satoshi’s net worth also took center stage. With Bitcoin priced at $118,400, Satoshi’s estimated 1.029 million BTC amounts to $129 billion. But to surpass Musk’s $366 billion, BTC would need to hit $335,925 per coin.

For now, it’s just fun and games—but in the world of crypto, even an emoji can shake the market.
