.elonmusk $1M Dogecoin challenge to prove his family's emerald mine existence backfires spectacularly
the controversial Tesla and SpaceX CEO recenty took to Twitter to offer a one million Dogecoin reward to anyone who could provide evidence that the mine existed.
The controversy began with social media users debating the validity of the emerald mine claim, and Musk himself dismissing the rumors as"annoying." However, in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Musk's father revealed that it was his emerald venture that contributed to Elon's initial success in the United States.
Musk's connection to emerald mines traces back to his family's involvement in the mining industry in Zambia, a country in southern Africa. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, his father co-owned an emerald mine in the mineral-rich region.

Elon Musk's Twitter drops government-funded media labelsTwitter has removed labels describing global media organizations are government-funded or state-affiliated. The move came after the Elon Musk-owned platform stripped blue verification checkmarks from Twitter accounts that don’t pay a monthly fee. National Public Radio in the U.S. is among those no longer labeled government-affiliated media. NPR announced last week that it would stop using Twitter after its main account was labeled “state-affiliated media.” That term has also been used to identify media outlets controlled or heavily influenced by authoritarian governments, such as Russia and China.
