A comment from a Ripple engineer has given Digital Asset Investor another reason to focus on the potential impact of Elon Musk publicly acknowledging XRP.
The comment came during an exchange on X involving XRP, Musk, and the possibility of greater visibility for the digital asset. Digital Asset Investor presented the exchange as significant, particularly because of Musk’s large influence across the technology and cryptocurrency sectors.
Ripple Engineer Links XRP to Elon Musk
Digital Asset Investor highlighted an X post from Akinyele, whom he identified as a Ripple engineer. The exchange began after the Engineer thanked Elon Musk for a $25 gift on their X Money account before another user responded, saying that they “should have swung the fences with XRP.”

Akinyele responded with a statement about the effect of Elon Musk’s interest in XRP. He wrote, “Trust me, if we get Elon Musk’s attention, XRP will be in as well, no doubt.”
The comment suggests that Akinyele sees Musk’s involvement as a significant potential development for XRP. However, neither the engineer’s comment nor Digital Asset Investor’s video establishes that Musk currently plans to support XRP or that he has made any commitment involving the asset.
Digital Asset Investor Focuses on Musk’s Potential Role
Digital Asset Investor then shared his own view of Musk’s possible connection to XRP. He said he has “always believed that Elon Musk is somewhere behind the scenes with regard to XRP and knows all about it.”
He did not provide evidence for that belief in the video. Instead, he focused on the potential market reaction if Musk were to make a public announcement concerning XRP.
According to Digital Asset Investor, such an announcement could produce a rapid change in market sentiment.
He then urged XRP holders to remain prepared for the possibility that Musk could publicly mention the digital asset.

Musk’s Influence Remains Central to the Discussion
Musk has previously influenced cryptocurrency markets through public comments about digital assets, particularly Dogecoin. His large following on X also gives his posts substantial visibility among retail investors and cryptocurrency users.
Digital Asset Investor’s commentary therefore centers on the potential significance of Musk mentioning XRP rather than presenting a confirmed development involving Ripple or the XRP Ledger.
For now, the discussion remains speculative. There is no confirmation in the material shared by Digital Asset Investor that Musk plans to announce support for XRP. His video instead emphasizes how significant such an announcement could be if it occurs.
