Unfortunately, as with most things Musk, the action was all in the fervent anticipation of the main event… which turned\u00a0out to be a fiasco<\/a>.<\/p>\n Having surged to a record high of 73 cents (making it the fifth most valuable cryptocurrency) on Saturday ahead of the show, it started to drop as soon as Musk took the microphone….<\/p>\n
