But when Hoskinson clarified the situation through X, the rumors subsided and he said: "OK, we all had a good laugh". Musk flew to Jackson and went to see Peter Thiel. My ranch is in Wheatland.
This confirmation changed the direction of the story and underscored the informal nature of Hoskinson's initial statement.
the basis of these rumors is Hoskinson's previous attempts to engage with Musk's businesses, particularly his attempts to address the bot issue at X. In a conversation with Tony Edwards on the Thinking Crypto podcast in mid-June, Hoskinson expressed frustration at the lack of response to his attempts.
