Technoking and Master of Coin — Elon Musk and Tesla CFO adopt new titles

In a world where CEOs and CFOs no longer matter, meet Tesla's new Technoking and Master of Coin.

Elon Musk’s love affair with cryptocurrency shows no sign of ending, after a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of new official titles for him and a fellow Tesla executive.

Starting from March 15, Elon Musk will carry the official title of “Technoking of Tesla,” while the firm’s chief financial officer, Zack Kirkhorn, will officially be known as “Master of Coin.” The 8-K form filed with the SEC states:

“Effective as of March 15, 2021, the titles of Elon Musk and Zach Kirkhorn have changed to Technoking of Tesla and Master of Coin, respectively.”

The filing also states that Musk and Kirkhorn will retain their current respective positions as chief executive officer and chief financial officer.

With no sign of an accompanying tweet that the Tesla CEO has become famous for, onlookers can only speculate as to why Musk and Kirkhorn have adopted the new titles.

In early February the Bitcoin spot price increased by $3,000 in a matter of minutes when news broke regarding Tesla’s acquisition of $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC), sending the coin price to a new all-time high in the process.

After a sharp dip in the value of Bitcoin — and the Tesla stock price — the title of “world’s richest man” was briefly lost from Elon Musk’s résumé. However, neither Bitcoin nor Tesla spent too long in the doldrums, as a resurgent coin price soon returned healthy profits to Musk and the company. On March 15, Bitcoin had once again soared to a new all-time high when the coin price flirted with the $60,000 range for the first time in its history.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
