Elon Musk challenges Binance CEO over Dogecoin glitch
Elon Musk, the CEO of $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ , challenges Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance on Tuesday.
Musk tweeted Zhao and asked him: "What's going on with your Doge customers?" Musk has called dogecoin is his favorite cryptocurrency.
On Nov 11, Binance suspended dogecoin withdrawals due to a glitch after a network update. Binance said it would resume withdrawals once the problem had been resolved, but that the suspension could last until Nov 29.
"Sounds shady." Musk added.
Binance replied on its Twitter and said that it was "not shady – just frustrating and we're working on it." And then Musk replied "Doge holders using Binance should be protected from errors that are not their fault."
However, Zhao didn't feel happy with Musk's words.
Zhao replied to Musk that Binance was "pretty certain" and apologized. But he also linked to an article about Tesla recalling nearly 12,000 US vehicles due to a software glitch, asking: "What happened here?".
In an February interview, Zhao said he was surprised that Musk was an advocate of dogecoin. "I strongly believe that he's not really associated with Dogecoin in any way," he said.
Zhao also said that Musk should be more careful about his tweets on cryptocurrencies in another interview in June.
Update on Nov. 24:
It looks like they've all calmed down.
