- Elon Musk is one of the most controversial public figures in the world, with the billionaire’s outspoken views always attracting a crowd.
- He’s become something of a characterisation of the crypto community, with his affinity for memes and pro-crypto comments often sending the market into a frenzy.
- Musk’s recent social media update saw him add the “laser eyes” meme to his profile picture, a move often associated with the digital currency world.
- Meanwhile, his private jet landed in Tennessee just the other day, fuelling speculation that Musk will be attending the Bitcoin 2024 conference next week.
Okay, yeah. It’s a bit ridiculous. But the crypto community has attached themselves to multi-billionaire Elon Musk – so when he does something that’s even remotely pro-blockchain, we get a bit excited.

The entrepreneur, who recently announced his support for another pro-crypto figurehead, Donald Trump, updated his social media profile to include a new image. The original picture, which featured Musk in front of an American flag, now features a filter and the classic “laser eyes” meme, long associated with crypto.

The laser eyes filter has often been used as a sign of solidarity among the crypto social media community, demonstrating its commitment to digital currency. Think of it as the visual representation of every investor’s favourite battle cry: “to the moon!”
To be completely honest, Musk has been very outspoken around the current US election and has said very little about crypto of late. It is quite likely that he’s appropriating the meme to reaffirm his pro-Trump stance, or to poke fun at Biden’s dismissal as election candidate…when it comes to Musk, who really knows?
However, that hasn’t stopped the crypto world from engaging with the profile picture change. In particular, many in the community believe it may be foreshadowing something more significant – Musk’s attendance at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference.

And in even more coincidental evidence, Musk’s private jet just touched down in Nashville, where the conference is set to take place. The proof is starting to pile up.
Funnily enough, Musk rocking up as a keynote speaker would make him only the second-most famous celebrity there, with Trump vowing to appear despite last week’s attempted assassination.
