Anonymous threatens Elon Musk manipulating bitcoin price: the value of the cryptocurrency fell 7% on Friday after the entrepreneur posted a message on Twitter.
Anonymous has posted a video on Youtube with which he puts Elon Musk in the spotlight. The group of cyber activists charges against the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX for what they consider a manipulation of the price of bitcoin.
"Millions of retail investors are counting on the profits from their cryptocurrencies to improve their conditions. Playing with the price of cryptocurrencies destroys lives, " laments Anonymous in the video, referring to the changes that occur in the value of bitcoin every time Elon Musk launches a Twitter message criticizing this cryptocurrency.

The last message Musk posted on Twitter about bitcoin was last Friday. A broken heart next to the cryptocurrency symbol has been enough to make the value of it fall by 7%, thus hurting the small investors that Anonymous talks about.
Anonymous notes in the video that Elon Musk "shows a clear contempt for working people" and regrets that he continues to mock them by publishing memes "from one of his million-dollar mansions".

In addition, the activist group criticizes that Musk will never be able to understand the risks of his Twitter posts because " he was born rich thanks to the heritage of a South African apartheid emerald mine and has no idea what the struggle is like for most working people in the world."
Remember that it is not the first time that Elon Musk caused a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin by his Twitter messages. Mid-May saw the cryptocurrency drop by 9% in just a few hours after suggesting that Tesla would sell its bitcoin investments.
Anonymous threatens Elon Musk manipulating bitcoin price: Musk's view of bitcoin has not always been negative, but he took a 180-degree turn just a month ago, when he stated that he was concerned about its environmental repercussions.
For Anonymous this attitude is typical of" a rich narcissist who is desperate for attention", and after these accusations closes the video with a warning that sounds like a threat"Wait for us".

From working at the El Corte Inglés switchboard to creating one of its main clothing brands: the fascinating story of Pequeña Moma, the Murcian company that flees from dependence on the Asian market
It was the last days of May 2018 when the political board was about to change forever: Mariano Rajoy was facing in the Congress of Deputies the first session of the motion of censure, which would end with the end of his Government.
On one of the most complicated days of his political career, Rajoy chose a green tie with a fish thorn print. The complement had been given away by the president of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, and for the iconic of the moment, the garment sold out in less than 48 hours.
Behind this stir there was the Small firm Moma. Its founder, Paloma Jáudenes, tells the story as something purely anecdotal. And it does so because the Cartagena company has earned not to stay in the simple joke.
The founder, in question, worked at the El Corte Inglés switchboard. "I was the one who warned when a child got lost," she laughs. But many things have changed in the last 15 years. Now the company is one of the corner of the distribution giant and for the next autumn/winter campaign will integrate its garments also on the group's website.
"I picked up the phone here and now my brand shares space with firms like Purifación García", says the businesswoman still with some skepticism. So much so that when they ask him what his dream is, he does not know what to answer. And he does not know it because he would never have imagined how far the company has come, despite the fact that the road has not been without vicissitudes.
After her time at the department stores, the CEO went, first, to be a saleswoman of the children's clothing franchise Nek & Nek and, later, to take charge of the store herself. "I took the reins and it went wrong," he says calmly. However, from this business failure, it would lead him to the right project.
"In 2013 I created a children's footwear and accessories store. Then I evolved: the ones who were going to buy were the mothers, so if I put things for them, they would itch. And we were bringing in more products, "says the founder about her "reinvention" process.
Now Pequeña Moma aspires to be a brand of relevance in Spain, but not at any price: "I am angry at the dependence we have on the Asian market," says the founder. Currently, 60% of its products are manufactured in Spain and its mission is to reach 80% by this year.
"In Spain there is raw material and my commitment is to seek it and integrate it", says the businesswoman. The firm, which works with some 30 suppliers, of which 15 are Spanish, labels this business relationship as a great value chain in which some family businesses help others.
"I don't feel a number with them. I've worked with big companies and I keep the confidence I have now." And to show a button: the already iconic tie of Mariano Rajoy was made by a family business of Valdepeñas, in Ciudad Real.
However, the CEO does not lose sight of her responsibility: "We have to be the companies that generate value and explain to a customer why it is more expensive to buy hand-made than machine-made esparteñas". Under this premise, the company has managed to bill 2 million euros in 2020, thanks, in part, to its 15 points of sale, 7 of them are establishments of El Corte Inglés located in A Coruña, Valencia, Córdoba and, of course, its region: Murcia.
"When the pandemic broke out, I had to take a linden tree and reflect," she says. Before the health crisis, he believed he had everything tied up: his physical stores sold and had an online presence. But COVID-19 came and broke everything established. The company had to make an ERTE for its staff.
The situation required a new road map. That's when the founder explained to her partner and staff manager that she needed the team in charge of the online channel for 3 weeks. It would take 4, but he reversed the situation.
The company, in addition to creating a completely new website, at the logistics level changed its entire warehouse and installed an ERP, a business process management software. The results did not take long to arrive: from April online orders skyrocketed, reaching growth of up to 600%, compared to before the pandemic.
Online sales now account for 15% of your turnover. A year before, they only involved 5%. "Our goal is to make the digital channel our most important store," explains the founder, and they are taking it seriously.
In this Murcia company the clients are Vicenta, María or Lucía, not an order number. Faced with this challenge that involves digitizing the entire purchase process, Pequeña Moma accepts it as a necessary metamorphosis, but not as an imposition that makes it lose an iota of its essence.
In the warehouse where there used to be boxes, there is now a photography studio, but not professional models. "We tried a great model, but we realized it didn't fit. The clients told us that she was not a real woman and that they did not feel identified when buying," says the founder.
Faced with this new situation, the CEO did not hesitate and found in her team of 40 people –composed of 90% women and with an average age of 43 years– the best workhorse. "We like to feel close to the clients, that's why we thought that the best thing was to show our clothes on real women, and nothing better than doing it on ourselves," she says.
"Now, the users do not ask for an M, but explain that they are the same size as the head of administration," says the architect with a comical point-and, truly, it does. This, however, is a true reflection of the constant reinvention of the company, and especially of Paloma Jáudenes, who has done herself so many times that she does not rule out, at all, doing it once more, if that takes her where she wants to be.
