After being called a crook by Dogecoin co-founder Jackson Palmer, Elon Musk partially defended himself against the allegations made against him. The billionaire has DOGE as one of his favorite cryptocurrencies, in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum. And the entrepreneur helps Dogecoin become better known around the world, even supporting transactions with this currency at his Tesla and SpaceX companies. However, this does not mean that the actions of the richest man in the world are being celebrated by everyone in the Dogecoin community. The new controversy even involves the billionaire’s purchase of Twitter, which continues to show unexpected outcomes.
Elon Musk defends himself against Dogecoin co-founder after being called a “crook”
In recent days, an interview with Jackson Palmer about his new projects after leaving the cryptocurrency market came to the public and he ended up sharing his acid opinions on various subjects. According to him, who is co-founder of Dogecoin, Elon Musk is a crook who doesn’t know if he will deliver on his promises. In addition, Palmer stated that he already shared with Musk a script made in the Python programming language, but that the billionaire did not know how to manipulate the code to stop the bots from attacking his Twitter account. It is worth remembering that Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter and one of his main complaints about the social network is precisely the cryptocurrency robots that attack victims daily. This Tuesday (31), Elon Musk then went on the counterattack after Jackson Palmer’s lines, declaring that the script shared with him was very bad. The billionaire asked that his Dogecoin co-founder has the key to the problem, that he share it with the world then.
“You falsely claimed that your lame Python snippet got rid of bots. Okay friend, so share with the world…”
“My kids code better than the Dogecoin co-founder”
In continuation of his speech, Elon Musk declared that the Dogecoin co-founder programs very badly, worse even than his children when they were 12 years old.
“My kids wrote better code when they were 12 than the nonsense script Jackson sent me. Like I said, if it’s that good, it should share it with the world and improve everyone’s Twitter experience. If he does, you’ll see what I mean. Jackson Palmer is a tool.”

Like I said, if it’s so great, he should share it with the world and make everyone’s experience with Twitter better. If he does, you will see what I mean.

Seeing the new controversies with Elon Musk, Jackson Palmer dared to say that his code has been open on GitHub since 2018 and never proposed to solve the problems of the social network, being used only by a few people who liked the simple solution. He claims he didn’t update the tool as he deleted his Twitter profile in 2019 and no longer needed it. So, he believes that the solution could not help much now, three years after the last version, as the scammers have already evolved their techniques.
“Scammers and bots have gotten *much* more sophisticated since 2018, often using hacked/stolen accounts etc. Different game. This script would definitely not solve this today, but it was never designed for that. I deleted my Twitter account in 2019, so I didn’t need an update.”
