Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has finally broken his silence on the potential partnership between his protocol and Elon Musk. In an interview with Tony Edward, Hoskinson expressed his disappointment and confusion over the lack of collaboration from Musk, despite sharing similar interests.

Shared Interests and Unmet Attempts

Hoskinson highlighted the similarities in interests with Musk, including their mutual friend Lex Fridman and shared views with Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum co-founder. He also noted that the President of Argentina, Javier Gerardo Milei, acknowledged his presence by reposting Cardano's post on X. Despite these connections, Hoskinson's attempts to reach out to Musk have been met with silence.

Speculations and Sadness

Hoskinson speculated that Musk might have been influenced by those in his social circle who may have a wrong view of him. He expressed sadness over the lack of collaboration, stating that it would be problematic if the X social media platform falls apart or loses relevance. He also admired Musk's business acumen, particularly in running X with a fraction of Twitter's staff strength.

Openness to Collaboration

Although he has not succeeded with Musk, Hoskinson expressed his desire to see the X social media platform thrive. He offered to contribute to the process in any way possible. He also speculated that Musk might own a significant portion of Dogecoin's supply or simply like the logo, given his puzzling affinity for the cryptocurrency.

Conclusion

The Cardano founder expressed openness to collaborating with Elon Musk to see more adoption of crypto on X. Despite the lack of collaboration, Hoskinson remains optimistic about the potential for a partnership and the benefits it could bring to both parties.
