Musk Trashes SBF - My BS Detector Was Screaming

I just found out some juicy intel about the whole Elon vs SBF drama that went down in 2022, and honestly, it's even worse than I thought. So here's what happened behind the scenes when crypto's fallen angel tried to cozy up to tech's bad boy.

Last April, that FTX guy actually had the nerve to approach Musk about investing a whopping $5 billion in his Twitter takeover. Can you believe it? The dude was sitting on a house of cards and trying to play big shot with money that wasn't even his!

Elon didn't mince words when he talked about it: "My bullshit detector was on RED," he said in that Twitter Space with 60k people listening in. "I spent like 30 minutes with him and immediately thought - this guy is full of crap."

What kills me is that while Elon saw through SBF's facade, all these supposedly "smart" investment banks were kissing his ass like he walked on water. Those idiots couldn't spot a fraud that Elon clocked in half an hour!

SBF had the audacity to pitch Musk on some ridiculous "blockchain Twitter" integration. Like seriously? Musk shut that down fast, pointing out the obvious bandwidth and latency issues. This was classic SBF - throwing around tech buzzwords he barely understood to sound legitimate.

When Musk's banker Michael Grimes brought up SBF's interest, Elon's first question was brilliant: "Does Sam actually have $3B liquid?" Spoiler alert: he didn't. The money was probably coming straight from customer accounts!

Later in the Twitter Space, Musk dropped some actual useful advice - keep your crypto in cold wallets, not on exchanges where it can vanish overnight. He's bullish on BTC, ETH and DOGE but wisely avoided commenting on other coins.

I'm no Musk fanboy, but he was spot on about SBF months before the collapse. Meanwhile, mainstream media and VCs were still portraying that fraud as some kind of genius. Just shows you can't trust the so-called experts in this space.
