Elon Musk has sparked furious speculation online after a cryptic post referencing the elusive creator of bitcoin.
The Tesla CEO tweeted an image on Wednesday of the logos of four companies, Samsung, Toshiba, Nakamichi and Motorola, with the first letters of each circled — showing how the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" was apparently derived.
To this day, the true identity of the cryptocurrency's inventor has never been revealed. Some believe bitcoin was the work of more than one person hiding behind the pseudonym.
Australian computer scientist Craig Wright has claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, although this is widely disbelieved in the cryptocurrency community.
