Threatened by the hacking group Anonymous Musk tweeted

Elon Musk, TESLA CEO and founder of SpaceX, was targeted by hackers and publicly threatened by anonymous, an international hacking group.

The US "New York Post" reported on the 6th that "Anonymous" posted a video on social media Twitter on the 5th, slamming Musk for "constantly provoking" the cryptocurrency market. In the video, a masked, voice-changing man who calls himself "Anonymous" denounces Musk as a narcissist and threatens in an almost undisguised tone: "You may think you're the smartest of your own, but you're now meeting an opponent." We are the 'Anonymous' organization, we are numerous, wait! ”

According to the report, the reason why Musk is threatened by "Anonymous" is related to Bitcoin. Not long ago, Musk sent two tweets in a row suspected of expressing his disappointment with Bitcoin, which led to a sharp decline in the Bitcoin market, falling nearly 6% in 9 hours. Anonymous claimed in the video: "Hundreds of investors want to improve their lives through cryptocurrency investment, they certainly have to take the investment risk, everyone knows that cryptocurrencies fluctuate, but your tweet this week shows that you don't care about the lives of ordinary working people." ”

After the video was released, Musk did not respond immediately, but tweeted 20 minutes later, "Kill what you hate, save what you love." "Technology giants have been threatened by well-known international hacking organizations, and such things have aroused heated discussion among netizens. Some netizens joked about Musk's "Mars exploration dream", "Musk is threatened, you have to find a good hiding place, I think Mars is good." ”

According to the analysis of the "Russia Today" website, although the "Anonymous" hacking organization is well-known, it is after all an organization that lacks unified management, and it is unknown whether the above threat video comes from the organization, or from a branch of the organization. A Twitter account with 6.7 million followers and a branch of the recognized Anonymous hacking group @YourAnonNews explicitly stated that it was not related to the threatening video, but implied that another anonymous branch account called @BscAnon was related to the threat video. Some analysts believe that the destructive power of the "Anonymous" hacking organization is indeed very strong, and if Musk is really careful when targeted by the other party, it may be likely to suffer huge losses due to hacking attacks.
