According to CoinMeta, as disclosed by Arkham, Musk is suspected of accidentally replying to a hacked account. This account posted about the SLINK project, and Musk's reply sparked market speculation. The market value of the SLINK token briefly exceeded $40 million before plummeting to zero. Trader aurelius0121, mistakenly believing that Musk supported the project, bought $250,000 worth of SLINK tokens and lost all of it. The owner of this account is Shivon Zilis, who also serves as the director of operations and special projects for Neuralink.
