Against the background of Musk's messages, the founder of the Bitcoin exchange Binance, Changpeng Zhao, recommended that users not be manipulated by adding the hashtag to the post. He also stressed that this "is not financial advice," but did not elaborate on why he posted the tweet.
Don't be manipulated. #HODL

Not financial advice.
The digital asset market is extremely sensitive to the entrepreneur's messages - the press even has the term "Elon Musk effect", meaning the growth of an asset after it was mentioned by the head of Tesla.
In May, a tweet from a businessman triggered a 20% increase in the price of DOGE. Earlier in the month, Musk reported that Tesla had suspended Bitcoin sales of electric vehicles. Against this background, the digital gold rate fell to $45,700.
Recall that Musk's tweets about Tesla must be approved by a lawyer. According to media reports, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) believes that the entrepreneur has already violated this regulation twice.
