Elon Musk Just Confirmed Ross Ulbricht’s Freedom – You Won’t Believe What Happens Next!

by

So, picture this: Donald Trump is back in the White House, and suddenly, the world is holding its breath for the fate of Ross Ulbricht, the mastermind behind the Silk Road. And who’s the messenger of this juicy tidbit? None other than our favorite meme lord, Elon Musk. He casually drops, “Ross will be freed too,” like he’s just announcing the latest Tesla model. 🙄

Ross Ulbricht: The Prison Break Saga Continues

Now, let’s not get too excited just yet. Ross hasn’t received a formal “Congrats, you’re free!” letter from Trump. Remember when Trump promised during his campaign, “Vote for me, and I’ll commute Ross’s sentence on day one”? Well, it’s day 1,000 and counting, but who’s keeping track? 🤷‍♀️

As Trump scribbles away at executive orders like a kid with a coloring book, we’re all waiting for the magic words that will set Ulbricht free after 11 long years. And guess who’s in the loop? Yep, our tech billionaire buddy, Elon. He’s like the fairy godmother of the crypto world, waving his wand and saying, “Ross will be freed too.”

Ross will be freed too

Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian National Committee (LNC), is also in on the action, claiming Ross might get his presidential pardon within the next 24 to 48 hours. Talk about a fast track to freedom! In a post on X, she wrote:

“Pres. Trump’s staff just confirmed to me Ross’s pardon will be issued late tonight or tomorrow morning.”

Elon, of course, is right there with her, adding fuel to the fire of market optimism. Because nothing says “I’m a serious businessman” like tweeting about a prisoner’s release. And let’s not forget Ross’s own post from last May, where he hinted that Trump would “commute” his sentence. So, what does that mean? Less time in prison, but will Trump go full-on Santa Claus and just pardon him completely? 🎅

Crypto Executive Order? Not Today!

Now, while the crypto world was practically salivating at the thought of a crypto executive order on Trump’s first day, it seems like that’s not happening. Shocking, I know. The reactions have been mixed, with one anonymous crypto enthusiast, “Flood,” lamenting, “NO ROSS PARDON, NO LEGALIZATION OF PERPETUAL SWAPS AND NO CRYPTO EXECUTIVE ORDER HAVE WE BEEN BAMBOOZLED BY THE TRUMP CRIME FAMILY?” Dramatic much? 😂

But wait! Not all hope is lost. Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher is here to sprinkle some positivity, saying:

“Tbh, it was unlikely Trump was going to mention crypto in his speech anyway. What matters is what happens over the coming days. There are already reports of pardoning Ross Ulbricht + and an executive order to allow banks to more easily hold digital assets. Patience.”

TRUMP Meme Coin: The Epic Fail

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin has tanked 40% post-inauguration, plummeting to $32. Meanwhile, the Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) is down 60% faster than you can say “what a disaster.”

Critics are having a field day, with billionaire Mark Cuban calling out the TRUMP meme coin for being “overly speculative.” Because, of course, the last thing we need is more chaos in the crypto world. Thanks, Trump family! 🙃
