Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano has spoken out about his yet-to-materialize working relationship with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. In an interview with Tony Edward, the host and founder of Thinking Crypto, Hoskinson highlighted the similarities in interests with Elon Musk.
Cardano Founder and Elon Musk have Shared Interests
In his moment of truth, the Cardano Founder expressed his confusion and disappointment over the lack of collaboration response from Elon Musk, despite several areas of potential collaboration. One avenue that X, another Elon Musk company can benefit from Cardano is through the integration of Midnight Protocol for the much-needed privacy on the social media platform.
The Cardano founder noted that he and Musk share a mutual friend in Lex Fridman and the Tesla boss agrees with Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum co-founder. Additionally, the President of Argentina, Javier Gerardo Milei who shared a public moment with Musk recently, acknowledged Hoskinson’s presence by reposting Cardano’s post on X.
Notably, despite these intersecting interests and Hoskinson’s attempts to reach out to Musk on multiple occasions, the efforts have not paid off. The attempts has never for once been met with a corresponding gesture.
“Never once has he mentioned us,” he stated.
Hoskinson speculated that Elon Musk might have been influenced by those in his social circle who may have a wrong view of him.
“Maybe he has some in his social circles that don’t like me or he’s heard I’m difficult to work with. Or maybe he just wants to do his own thing, I don’t know,” he said based on Coingape’s transcription of his words. “It makes me sad because I’m an X user with millions of followers, and it would be problematic if the platform falls apart or loses relevance, as that social capital is valuable to us.”
Cardano is Open for Business
Although he has not succeeded with Musk, the Cardano founder expressed his desire to see the X social media platform thrive. He even offered to contribute to the process in any way possible.
Hoskinson also had admiration for Musk, particularly in proving bookmakers wrong by running X with just one-tenth of Twitter staff strength. Recall that Elon Musk fired many former Twitter employees in his cost-cutting measure after taking over the business.
“The guy is a business genius, and you cannot count him out,” he stated.
As per Musk’s puzzling affinity for Dogecoin, Hoskinson speculated that it was possible the entrepreneur owned a significant portion of the supply or simply liked the logo. Overall, the Cardano founder expressed openness to collaborating with Elon Musk to possibly see more adoption of crypto on X.
