Shiba Inu and Elon Musk May Come Close for a Meeting Soon

Shortly after confirming that he is not Elon Musk, Shiba Inu ecosystem’s enigmatic leader, Shytoshi Kusama, asks the American businessman when they could have a conversation. 

Kusama asked Musk for a conversation using a playful tone.

Kusama Says He’s Not Musk, Desires a Conversation with Him 

The development follows Kusama’s first-ever interview with Dubai news outlet Arabian Business. During the interview, he dismissed speculations that Musk could be the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu ecosystem operating under the pseudonym “Shytoshi Kusama.” 

“I guess now you know. I’m not Elon Musk,” he said to the Arabian Business interviewer. 

Following the clarification, Kusama expressed a desire to engage the billionaire in a conversation. He hinted at plans to “show [Musk] how it should be done.” 

This suggests that Kusama could be willing to share his anonymity expertise with the Tesla founder. 

Only Factor Differentiating Kusama from Musk 

According to Arabian Business, Kusama and Musk have much in common, such as “disruption beyond recognition, wealth beyond imagination, and power beyond contemplation.” 

Arabian Business said the only difference between them is that nobody knows Kusama’s real identity. 

Since assuming the role of Shiba Inu ecosystem leader, Kusama has remained completely anonymous. He recently attended a public event in Kyoto, Japan, for the first time, but his identity was completely hidden behind a mask. 

During the interview, Kusama stated that he prefers to stay anonymous and has no plans to reveal his identity. According to him, the fact that he could move freely without being recognized is worth more than money. 

With his expertise on anonymity not in doubt, Kusama suggests showing Musk “how it should be done.” Hence, the Shiba Inu ecosystem leader playfully asked Musk for a meeting. At press time, the American billionaire had not responded to the request. 

Shiba Inu’s Attempt to Initiate Conversation with Musk 

This is not the first time that the Shiba Inu ecosystem team has attempted to prompt an engagement with Musk. 

In August, Kusama invited Musk to attend the 2023 Blockchain Futuristic Conference (BFC). A few days later, the official Shiba Inu’s X handle informed the Tesla founder that its “DMs are open.”

Notably, Musk ignored these invites, opting to remain faithful to Shiba Inu’s core rival, Dogecoin (DOGE). Nonetheless, the Shiba Inu ecosystem team, led by Kusama, is not showing signs of relenting as they attempt to initiate a conversation with the billionaire.
