Elon Musk is the creator of Bitcoin, claims a SpaceX intern

Elon Musk is Satoshi Nakamoto which means Musk is the creator of Bitcoin. You'll probably chuckle at this at first, but wait until you see evidence of a former SpaceX intern named Sahil Gupta.

Gupta then linguistically parsed Satoshi's forum posts. The language that Satoshi Nakamoto uses also refers to Elon Musk, he says.

Satoshi's use of "bloody hard" and "order of magnitude" is Musk's signature expression. Satoshi always uses double spaces after a period. Musk did too. Later, an article was published that Satoshi had once leaked an IP address in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, in 2009. Strangely enough, SpaceX is adjacent to Van Nuys and Musk is visiting Van Nuys Airport.

Gupta points out that while there is no direct evidence that Musk is Satoshi, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence. He said it has many similarities in geography, technical ability, writing style, and motivational philosophy.

PayPal's original mission

Gupta said Luke Nosek, another PayPal co-founder, said PayPal's mission was to create a global currency. They wanted it to be independent of interventions by corrupt banking and government cartels. Luke Nosek said the following about this:

We've managed to build something very powerful economically, enabling a lot of small businesses, we're super proud of it, but we never achieved the mission.
