Hi, this is Olga. Onstage at Miami’s cryptocurrency conference earlier this month, pundit Max Keiser repeatedly yelled what’s become a familiar refrain among the crypto faithful: “F--- Elon.”

On Twitter, hashtags with that and similar phrases have gained traction. T-shirts bearing the slogans abound. Someone created a website for the haters, there are multiple related coins, and dedicated Telegram groups have amassed thousands of followers.
