Zach Kirkhorn, Tesla CFO, Officially Renamed to "Master Of Coin"

From time to time, we truly believe that Elon Musk really doesn’t give a fck*. He is not only trying to become the world’s most successful entrepreneur, he would like the title of ultimate troll as well apparently.

A few weeks after it was rumored that the SEC might be investigating Mr Musk over his Dogecoin tweets, Tesla filed an official document in order to change the titles of Musk to “Technoking of Tesla” (Musk is a known fan of Darude’s Sandstorm) and CFO Zach Kirkhorn’s title (who oversaw the purchase of $1.5 billion in Bitcoin) to “Master of Coin”.

The official document read:

Effective as of March 15, 2021, the titles of Elon Musk and Zach Kirkhorn have changed to Technoking of Tesla and Master of Coin, respectively. Elon and Zach will also maintain their respective positions as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

That is one way to show your contempt for the SEC and the official institutions of course.

Ready to work with masters of coin

Musk also adapted his official twitter handle to feature his new title. Even when he’s not talking about his favorite crypto Dogecoin. However, he did tweet earlier this week that he would be getting a Shiba Inu dog. The billionaire businessman easily finds a way to make jokes worthy of the internet’s worst trolls.

U.S. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis, an ardent Bitcoin fan, tweeted in response to the title change announcement. She explained:

Ready to work with ‘Masters of Coin’ to support financial innovation that protects value and offers opportunities for the unbanked to find their financial footing.
