Musk is not connected to Bitcoin. If you're interested, here is a link to some basics, I don't really get it myself but I think it's here to stay.

Until everything goes to hell in a handbasket (including the U.S.$, Euro, etc.) and the internet goes poof. And it will eventually. Hopefully the whole house of cards holds together for a few more decades by which time I'll no longer care.

Most definitely here to stay. Can't count the number of times over just the last 6 years that I have been invested in bitcoin that it has been "declared dead".

Until the whole internet goes 'poof'. So just when you need an alternate currency to government paper with our social structure crumbling, your Bitcoin 0's and 1's will have disappeared into the ether.
