Musk seeks emerald family

The whole idea of ​​rewards came about after a Twitter post. According to the source of the information, Musk is looking for people who built their fortunes from extracting emeralds in the Zambian region. In addition to this information, it also emphasized that the owner of Twitter would be the owner of this mine.

The rumor of being the owner of the mine was quickly denied by Elon, but he confirmed that he would pay R$400,000 in cryptocurrencies, dogecoins, if proof existed.

Investors have shown interest in this cryptocurrency since 2013. In 2021, Dogecoin’s popularity skyrocketed, reaching a 14,000% appreciation. This change in scenario has led experts to take a closer look at this virtual currency.

The rumor about Musk having a mine was started by a fan of the currency, who uses the Twitter handle @DogeDesigner. He was also responsible for suggesting that the press be paid in Dogecoins (R$69,000) if they managed to discover the authenticity of this mine.

Musk spoke out and confirmed the payment of one million. At that moment, several interested parties appeared with supposed evidence about this region.

People have tried many different resources, including many fabricated pieces of evidence, such as an interview with Forbes by Elon himself. The user who shared this interview even claimed facts such as expired passport and smuggling on planes.

But other versions of the story also circulated on the internet, such as the activity of Errol Musk, the millionaire’s father, in the mining company.

So far, the veracity of any of the stories has not been confirmed. Furthermore, Musk has already clashed with the group responsible for the currency. Furthermore, Musk recently shared several negative comments about the currency, which led to lawsuits against him.
