New Delhi: South African entrepreneur, billionaire Elon Musk has become the latest target for the renowned hacktivist group Anonymous. In a new video warning Musk about his 'temper tantrums' on Twitter, Anonymous has taken shots at the Tesla CEO, blaming him for destroying the lives of cryptocurrency investors with his tweets.
In a video now doing the rounds on the Internet, the hacker group has 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".
"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 stated in the video.

No regard for people or future of cryptocurrency:
The nearly four-minute video further pinpoints several recent moves by Musk, alleging that the decisions were made purely on the profitability basis for the company with no regards to the future of cryptocurrency in general.
For the unversed, Musk recently announced that the decision of Tesla no longer accepting Bitcoin payments for its electric cars. Anonymous alleges in the video that it is widely believed that Tesla was forced to denounce this payment option. It states that the company generates most of its revenue through the green carbon tax credit from the governments of the countries in which it operates.
It further alleges that the reason the use of Bitcoin was stopped was to maintain this flow of revenue from the government. Anonymous also alleges that Musk was already aware of the energy consumption associated with Bitcoin mining before citing it as a reason for not accepting Bitcoin payments for Tesla.
It asserts that the billionaire acted clueless about this in "an attempt to play both sides of the fence" when the supply of green credit money from the government was threatened.
Elon's alleged unfair practices and 'carefully created public image':
Aside from Musk's erratic tweets about Cryptocurrency, Anonymous went on to 'expose' several other unfair practices of the world's third richest man. The hacker group states that Musk has enjoyed the "most favourable reputations of anyone in the billionaire class" for the past several years by tapping into the general public's desire for electric cars and space exploration. This "carefully created public image," however, is now being exposed.
Calling him "nothing more than another narcissistic rich dude," Anonymous in the video alleges that his quest to save the world is more rooted in a superiority and saviour complex than actual concern for humanity. To highlight this, Anonymous cites the example of numerous complaints by Tesla employees over intolerable working conditions faced by them in the past years.
It also mentions the young children employed in lithium mines to produce lithium, the major component of lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars, or most other electronic devices for that matter. Anonymous further takes shot at the billionaire saying that states that Musk is "not the only show in town" and that his competition is growing every day.
Blaming him for social media trolling and memes affecting the lives of many others, the video sends warning shots to the Tesla CEO, stating- "you may think you are the smartest person in the room, but now you have met your match." Musk has apparently taken note of the warning video.
Since the video's appearance online, the Tesla CEO has sent out a tweet saying "Don’t kill what you hate, Save what you love," and has a new blacked-out Twitter profile picture. There is, however, a possibility that the updates have no relation to the Anonymous video.
"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 stated in the video.
