Binance Founder Asks Elon Musk to Stop Mocking $6.3 Billion Crypto Hack
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao criticized Elon Musk for mocking the cryptocurrency exchange's $6.3 billion hack, the largest on record. Musk responded to Zhao's security warning with emojis and sarcastic remarks on X, prompting Zhao to ask him to stop trolling and reminded him of Binance's $500 million investment in Twitter. About $3 billion of stolen assets have been frozen, and Binance has pledged to cover confirmed losses. Investigations suggest a compromised device was involved in the complex breach.
