Elon Musk Hints at Bitcoin Surge, Sparks Debate Over New X Chat Feature

Tesla CEO Elon Musk ignited excitement in crypto circles when he tweeted about Bitcoin for the first time in three years, prompting speculation of a potential price surge. The tweet sparked discussions about his new social media platform X’s (formerly Twitter) novel XChat feature, which incorporates ‘Bitcoin-style’ encryption and allows users to send disappearing messages, audio/video calls, and files without phone numbers. While Musk hinted at Bitcoin’s potential for skyrocketing 50%, crypto experts have raised questions about the accuracy of his prediction based on past actions and historical data.
