Wow. Elon Musk just said that he's only recently heard of the Lightning network and he's never used it.
Discussion
False kkkk
Where did he say that? Hard to believe.
He's live in a Twitter Space with a bunch of Bitcoiners at the moment.
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.
Or bitcoin magazine....
I think I heard him talk about LN a couple of times.
He removed it from Twitter, so he's had to have heard of it, but using it, maybe not?
I call bullshit. Willful ignorance.
He also needs to learn about Bitcoin's clean energy usage.
Jinx! 🫂💜🤙🏻
Huh
progress, I guess?
Better late than never.
wait till he hears about e-cash...
We need to fix that….demo time 🤙🏻
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m could help out with that demo.
Shocking...
As someone that seems to be highly interested in payment systems, it is a bit shocking.
Seems clear he still can’t distinguish “crypto” from bitcoin.
He did mention that he still owns Dogecoin.
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!”
Maybe he's just lying 🤷♀️
Lying or being a sarcastic smart-ass. How can he know nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and not know lightning?
Well, he is running like five companies.
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
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
Makes you realize just how early things are.
He’s highly regarded
I think he’ll be getting one soon 💯
And Jack from nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 is on the call.
I was hoping Mallers would have spoken up a bit when this was mentioned 🥹
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.

LOL Wait till someone tells him about Nostr. Hes gonna shit 😂
he knows already about it
I’m old enough to remember when Xwitter tried to ban nostr.
Sames.
my storage device is having issues
source?
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.
oh, hmm 🤔
freudian slipped right into marketing nostr by accident
🤣🤣🤣🍿
dude, he lurks here 99% certain. Has at least once.
What's that?
Wait until he finds out about fedimints 👀
He'll ask if you need a money transmitter license.
He’s full of shit. Imo
He’s full of shit. 
I don't believe him.. it's too sarcastic! 🎩 🧡 ⚡ 💜
The funniest thing about this? Dude paid $44 billion dollars for Twitter, and hasn't fully used every feature of the app he bought.
Mmmm y le crees?
Wonder why he lied 🤔 intriguing
😳😱
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.
"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.
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.
Wait 'til he finds out there are planets beyond Mars.
And you believe that? He has to keep some things to himself.
same. shill me the best wallet #LN
nostr:note1kpyvqzt662rt97270vv2mgylwc2zyzmlax8fhpwrtlzmu9xvwnuqn7nhg9
Then why was he asking if it required money transmitter licenses in 2021 😁
