Wow. Elon Musk just said that he's only recently heard of the Lightning network and he's never used it.

False kkkk
Where did he say that? Hard to believe.
I think I heard him talk about LN a couple of times.
Lol, jinx

Huh
I call bullshit. Willful ignorance.
progress, I guess?
Better late than never.
Who’s Elon Musk?
Is he on shrooms again? No way he hasn’t heard of it.
wait till he hears about e-cash...
We need to fix that….demo time 🤙🏻
Shocking...
Jinx! 🫂💜🤙🏻
@jack could help out with that demo.
He also needs to learn about Bitcoin's clean energy usage.
He's live in a Twitter Space with a bunch of Bitcoiners at the moment.
Possible.
As someone that seems to be highly interested in payment systems, it is a bit shocking.
Hmm , that’s what he says, I wonder though
You would think the guy who wants to be the bank of the world, KYC’ing everyone would know about alternatives
He removed it from Twitter, so he's had to have heard of it, but using it, maybe not?
Nice I am actually listening to a different Twitter Spaces https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKrjQaMyAKX?s=20
I am surprised that Elon never heard of lightning from Michael Saylor or Cathy Woods.
Seems clear he still can’t distinguish “crypto” from bitcoin.
He did mention that he still owns Dogecoin.
Makes you realize just how early things are.
He’s highly regarded
Maybe he's just lying 🤷♀️
Omg yes he does

A high profile shitcoiner.
I think he’ll be getting one soon 💯
And Jack from @npub1ex7m...vyt9 is on the call.
Elon is a psy-op
On the other hand I think I successfully got my first?! two lightening addresses today.
Where did he say that? Thank you.
Well, he is running like five companies.
I was hoping Mallers would have spoken up a bit when this was mentioned 🥹
LOL Wait till someone tells him about Nostr. Hes gonna shit 😂
he knows already about it
Either he has known all along and he's playing a game,
or he's really that ignorant of what's going on in crypto.
No matter, he's making grifter signals
Wait until he finds out about fedimints 👀
Cathys Spaces: https://x.com/i/spaces/1gqxvQDwVvRJB
He’s full of shit. Imo
To be fair, I'm pretty sure Tesla didn't use lightning, but BTCpayServer is the OG Lightning wallet for me.
🤣🤣🤣🍿
Yea only on chain payments they took I'm pretty sure.
He’s full of shit. 
I don't believe him.. it's too sarcastic! 🎩 🧡 ⚡ 💜
I’m old enough to remember when Xwitter tried to ban nostr.
The funniest thing about this? Dude paid $44 billion dollars for Twitter, and hasn't fully used every feature of the app he bought.

Sames.
my storage device is having issues
source?
He'll ask if you need a money transmitter license.
He tried to ban linking to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Nostr profiles in December 2023. Most of us are here because of that ban. He essentially said Nostr with 1,000 users is on the same playing field as FB with 2 billion users.
Mmmm y le crees?
oh, hmm 🤔
freudian slipped right into marketing nostr by accident
Preston weighs in on X and took the higher ground. Pysh is still the nicest guy in the space.
“Be thoughtful and constructive.
Go try running 7 ground breaking technology companies and also be an expert on something as insanely complex as the technical underpinnings of #Bitcoin .
Let's embrace him and not punch him!”
Wonder why he lied 🤔 intriguing
Bullshit. He knows about nostr and zaps.
They were actively banning people trying to poach Xers to Nostr
It’s funny how these tech CEOs act like the smartest people in the room until it doesn’t benefit them, then they turn dumb as rocks.
😳😱
I completely believe him 😂
Just in case anyone still on twitter needs this...
He lied cos Elon is a slghtly indirect part of the power structure of our time, ie US govt, and Bitcoin cant be controlled. And Elon likes control. To admit to telling everyone about lightning would mean less control for him and his friends.
It's for sure not used much. I remember setting up my casa node for it years ago!
Did you get the dogelonmars drop? Elons space token? Elon is the biggest fucking scammer in the space.
Lying or being a sarcastic smart-ass. How can he know @jack and not know lightning?
"I am truly amazed time and time again by how little people understand Bitcoin and how little they care about it."
"Layer count depends on projected bandwidth & compute, both rising rapidly, which means single layer network [e.g. Bitcoin alone] can carry all human transactions in future imo," Musk said.
That was from 2021.
Elon Musk: Lightning Network Needed to Fix Scalability Problem in Bitcoin Network
Elon Musk urges that layer-2 payments Lightning Network is essential to offer the required bandwidth for Bitcoin transactions to solve its scalabil...
I can't take this guy seriously, he has done so much harm to the bitcoin community, it's better that he shuts it when it comes to Bitcoin in general.
dude, he lurks here 99% certain. Has at least once.
Wait 'til he finds out there are planets beyond Mars.
What's that?
And you believe that? He has to keep some things to himself.
same. shill me the best wallet #LN

Then why was he asking if it required money transmitter licenses in 2021 😁
