Elon Musk has become the latest target for the renowned hacker group Anonymous as they warn the Tesla CEO to desist from posting disruptive messages that destabilises crypto market on social media.

In a video now doing the rounds on the Internet, Anonymous called out Musk for his recent moves related to the cryptocurrency market. The video mentions that the recent tweets by Musk show a clear disregard for the average working person and that his "public temper tantrums "have liquidated the dreams of hardworking individuals.

On Thursday, Musk issued a cryptic tweet that many in the world of digital assets interpreted as the billionaire’s breakup with Bitcoin. The tweet included the Bitcoin logo and a broken-heart emoji.

The tweet sent the bitcoin market plunging during the day’s trading hours.

"Reading from the comments on your Twitter posts, it seems that the games you have played with the crypto market have destroyed lives. Millions of retail investors were really counting on their crypto gains to improve their lives," Anonymous said in the video.

It further pinpoints several recent moves by the Tesla CEO, alleging that the decisions were made purely on the profitability basis for the company and with no regards to the future of cryptocurrency in general.

The video ends with a message to Mr Musk that says: “You may think you are the smartest person in the room, but now you’ve met your match. We are anonymous. We are Legion. Expect us.” 

Mr Musk had announced that Tesla would stop accepting bitcoin as payment for its cars out of concern- that it will contribute to greater consumption of fossil fuels, instead focusing his campaign on dogecoin, a meme coin created as a joke.
