Abs Nassif, host of the Good Morning Crypto podcast, recently reshared a 2022 exchange that has reignited interest within the XRP community. Nassif shared a screenshot of a brief reply from Elon Musk to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, noting that the billionaire knows and follows XRP. While Musk’s past involvement with assets such as Dogecoin is well known, this particular interaction has gained renewed visibility as discussions continue about the possible role of XRP in digital payment systems, including Musk’s upcoming X Payments. REMINDER: Elon Musk Commented On Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Post 10/20/2022! Elon Knows $XRP . pic.twitter.com/3xVhJAbCiy — Good Morning Crypto (@AbsGMCrypto) October 8, 2025 Context Behind the Moment The image Nassif shared shows a response from Musk to a post by Garlinghouse in October 2022. At the time, Garlinghouse had been publicly criticizing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) conduct during its extended legal battle with Ripple . Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, had announced that the company finally obtained the so-called Hinman documents after months of litigation and multiple court orders. These internal SEC communications were connected to a 2018 speech by former SEC official William Hinman , which played a key role in shaping how the agency viewed cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. Musk’s comment came in response to Garlinghouse’s criticism of the SEC’s transparency, aligning with Musk’s own history of questioning regulatory agencies and their approach to emerging technologies. Musk’s brief response to Garlinghouse’s post was one of the few instances where he directly engaged with a figure central to the XRP debate. This comment suggests that the digital asset’s interest in the crypto space extends beyond Dogecoin and similar meme coins.

As of now, Musk has not indicated any plans to do so, and Dogecoin remains the cryptocurrency most closely associated with him. Nonetheless, the resurfacing of this brief interaction has fueled continued interest in how his companies might eventually approach digital asset integration. XRP is already playing prominent roles in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization projects and other payment systems around the globe. Integration into Musk’s X Payments would be a major milestone for XRP, as it would drastically increase its reach and adoption. Musk’s response to Garlinghouse shows that he is aware of the digital asset, and its speed and efficiency make it a superior option to other assets.
