Elon Musk's Wild Request: Crypto Influencer Tiffany Fong Spills the Tea
Holy smokes, y'all! Crypto influencer Tiffany Fong just dropped a bombshell: Elon Musk allegedly asked her to have his baby! And guess what? Ethereum's co-founder Vitalik Buterin called the whole pregnancy prediction "tasteless."
The tabloids are going nuts over this latest twist in Musk's baby-making saga. But when Polymarket, the betting platform, greenlit a bet on Fong's potential pregnancy on April 17, Buterin wasn't having it.
"fwiw I personally think this is tasteless and a violation of a person's privacy and dignity," Buterin fired back at the Polymarket bet.
And get this: Polymarket went all out, using an AI-generated image of Fong rocking a baby bump in front of the White House, throwing shade at Musk's role in the current administration.
The speculation train left the station after a WSJ report claimed that the tech mogul had been sliding into Fong's DMs for months, both on Twitter and in private messages, before dropping the baby bombshell.
But Fong wasn't having it and shut down Musk's request. And what happened next? Musk unfollowed her on Twitter, and her sweet revenue-sharing deal with the platform went up in smoke. She even spilled the beans to Ashley St. Clair, a woman who had a child with Musk and is now locked in a legal battle with the billionaire.
Who is Tiffany Fong?
So, who's this Tiffany Fong chick? She calls herself a "reluctant crypto journalist" and shot to fame after dropping some juicy convos with then-FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Those interviews even made it into the Department of Justice's indictment against Bankman-Fried and FTX.
Back in the day, social media was buzzing with rumors and jokes about her alleged flings with Bankman-Fried, Musk, and even Buterin. In January 2024, she played along, begging users to stop posting about her and Buterin while sharing a pic of Buterin with some mystery woman.
"please stop posting about vitalik & me."
And let's not forget about Polymarket, the online prediction betting platform that's never afraid to stir the pot. They've been catching heat for facilitating bets on global conflicts, like whether Israel would invade Syria or how long the LA wildfires would rage on.
