Elon Musk sells Tesla whistle for Dogecoin

 


Elon Musk promotes the new “Tesla Cyberwhistle” on Twitter. The edition of the whistle is limited and the purchase is only possible with Dogecoin. It looks like Elon Musk is playing the whistle on the current legal dispute with Twitter.


At a price of 1,000 Dogecoin and a current Dogecoin rate of 0.060225 US dollars , the Tesla Cyberwhistle costs the equivalent of just over 60 US dollars. The offer seems to have convinced Elon Musk fans - the pipe is sold out on the official Tesla homepage. However, a new, much louder version of the whistle is expected to appear soon .


The Cyberwhistle is made of "medical grade stainless steel" and shares the same angular design as the Tesla Cybertruck. However, Tesla decided to release the whistle without the truck's biggest weakness, the windows.


Unlike the Cybertruck, which had its release date pushed back twice, the Tesla Cyberwhistle was immediately available to anyone with enough Dogecoin to pay for it.


But why is Musk selling a pipe for Dogecoin? The current legal dispute with Twitter could be the reason for this.



A Whistle for Dogecoin: Coincidence?

The launch of the Cyberwhistle comes at a time when one of the biggest lawsuits in Musk's life is looming. Earlier this year, the billionaire made a $44 billion bid to buy Twitter. He then backed out of the deal, citing a number of issues and lack of information from the social media platform as the reason for his decision.


Musk claims that Twitter misled him about the number of spambots and fake accounts on the platform.


Former Twitter security chief Peiter Zatko seems to agree on this point . According to Zatko, Twitter simply doesn't know how many spambots are actually active on the platform. That suggests the problem could be much bigger than the company is publicly acknowledging.


At the end of August, Elon Musk's lawyers summoned Zatko as a witness for the upcoming court hearing. Thanks to the appearance of Zatko -turned-Twitter whistleblower, Musk's chances of winning the lawsuit appear to have improved significantly.


Just two weeks after the subpoena and three weeks after Zatko went public with the allegations, Tesla is offering the Cyberwhistle for Dogecoin. Coincidence?


Tesla is notoriously slow to launch new product lines. So how did the company manage to design, produce and launch a whistle with a display in just three weeks?


Musk's "Blow the Whistle" tweet may actually be a metaphorical reference to the whistleblower. Whatever the case, the Dogecoin community seems to continue to be excited about Elon Musk and the new product.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
