This is not true. Satoshi has no more control over the Bitcoin network than yourself, meaning he has none, cause you don't as well. Satoshi created Bitcoin, but control and freedom of personal funds is in the hands of it's users. Whatever manipulation Elon has over the network is only down to people's naivety, if some newbies to crypto are better informed, then we'd never even have to mention Elon Musk in matters concerning Bitcoin manipulation or control.
Lets give a credit to Satoshi for creating bitcoin because if it is not to him I don't know if the cryptocurrency will exists. Today bitcoin is a community driven type of market where I do believe that everyone of us have a control over the market, in individual means it is just a small impact but as a whole we are the life of crypto that fuel it to the fire. But when it comes to Elon Musk I know and in my own opinion he is above the individual member of crypto market, he doesn''t have control over the crypto market but he can influence the mind of people on whatever he's saying.
