Musk’s tweet came in response to a July 2 tweet from movie star William Shatner. 

“Cryptonians!” Shatner said, addressing the crypto community, adding: 

“My friends Vitalik Buterin and Elon Musk were trying to decide what to build on Ethereum. I’ve been waiting and waiting. I finally decided to do something myself. Join me!”   

Shatner has not shied away from crypto and blockchain commentary in the past, as seen in a recent interview with Cointelegraph. Musk has also posted a few comments on the industry, while admitting he owns but a mere 0.25 Bitcoin.
