Metaverse 'sounds like more marketing than reality,' said Elon Musk
The metaverse concept sounds intriguing to many investors who have put their money on promising platforms like The Sandbox and Decentraland. On the other hand, the world's richest man, who believes that Bitcoin is better as a store of value, said that he doesn't see this concept of VR or virtual reality promising in the near future.
Metaverse is just marketing
Metaverse is one of the biggest industries that have seen widespread adoption this year, with many investors claiming it to be the future world of meetings and marketplaces. However, Musk said in his interview that he doesn't "see someone strapping a friggin' screen to their face all day," which he believes is the ultimate goal of the metaverse or virtual reality."I don't know if I necessarily buy into this metaverse stuff, although people talk to me a lot about it," said Musk in his interview on the Babylon Bee YouTube channel.Elon further said that he doesn't see a "compelling metaverse situation" and that "Web 3 sounds like more marketing than reality." He remained critical of this new industry that is growing at a very fast pace.
"I don't get it, and maybe I will, but I don't get it yet," Musk said.
Neuralink is better
Elon Musk, who is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, also formed a neurotechnology company developing implantable brain-machine interfaces called Neuralink. In the interview, Musk said that "a sophisticated Neuralink could put you fully into virtual reality," which is what the task of VR or the metaverse is.Musk mentioned earlier this year that the first Neuralink product would enable people with paralysis to use their smartphones in a more efficient way than a normal person would. Describing the product, Musk said that "the device is implanted flush with skull & charges wirelessly."
Although it is too late to comment on the possible growth of the metaverse or Neuralink, Elon Musk's statement reveals that he doesn't believe in the potential of the metaverse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
