There were circulating rumors within the crypto community that Elon Musk’s recent interview with former President Donald Trump took place at Charles Hoskinson’s ranch in Wyoming. However, Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has officially denied these speculations, setting the record straight.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and CTO of X, conducted an interview with Donald Trump, a GOP presidential candidate, on X Spaces. Despite Musk teasing his followers with a photo at a friend’s ranch in Wyoming before the interview, the discussion did not delve into cryptocurrency-related topics.

Hoskinson Sets the Record Straight

Speculation arose within the Cardano community due to Musk’s cryptic description and a complimentary comment from Hoskinson about the ranch’s aesthetics. This led to conjecture about a potential deeper business connection between the two tech leaders. However, Hoskinson clarified the situation, emphasizing the casual nature of their initial exchange.

Earlier attempts by Hoskinson to engage with Musk’s projects, including efforts to address bot-related issues on X, were mentioned. Despite Hoskinson’s relationship with Kimbal Musk, Elon’s brother, there have been no discussions regarding Cardano or any collaborations, debunking any hopes for a partnership within the community.

Addressing the recent speculation, indie game developer Davide Lucchesi highlighted the unlikelihood of the rumors being true given the history of interactions between Hoskinson and Musk. The community’s hopes for a potential partnership were effectively quashed.
