Elon Musk, the playful Tesla and SpaceX chief executive who has set the world of bitcoin and cryptocurrency on fire in the past, has again caused a stir by tweeting about cryptocurrencies—this time it's the turn of decentralized app network ethereum. Now, Musk, who earlier this month revealed his favorite cryptocurrency, has tweeted the word "ethereum" before replying to ethereum's creator Vitalik Buterin invitation to attend the ethereum developer conference in October. On Friday, Musk and the SEC filed their amended settlement, which lists specific topics that Musk needs legal approval to tweet about. Musk surprised bitcoin and cryptocurrency watchers earlier this month by saying that the meme-based dogecoin is his "fav" cryptocurrency, even ahead of original cryptocurrency bitcoin, which he's heaped praise on previously. Musk beat off competition from ethereum co-founder and widely respected crypto developer Buterin, litecoin founder Charlie Lee, and Marshall Hayner, the chief executive of bitcoin and cryptocurrency blockchain payments processor Metal.
