Elon Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur and owner of companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, has come out to the public spotlight to debunk rumors spread about a week ago, where a former employee of his aerospace services company suggested the possibility that his ex-employer could be the mysterious Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Through his official Twitter account, Musk answered to a user that gave him the news about such rumors, stating that they were not true and that, in fact, he lost some BTC a friend of his just sent to him a few years back.
