I think this is not an attempt "to influence the crypto market", but some tricky person just created this token to sell it during hype. Elon Musk zero relationship to this Floki token.
This is a great example of how greedy people can be and how easily they can be tricked and controlled. This is so simple. Take what ever Elon says, create a token with same name and voila, you are locked and loaded for scam sale.
I think the same way, and this is nothing new I remember seeing a Trump coin and it is obvious Trump had nothing to do with that coin as he has expressed many times in the past that he does not like bitcoin and this market in general.
So this is the perfect example of a person taking advantage of the huge attention that Elon Musk is being given and it also shows the ignorance and the greed of some portion of those that are part of this market, they are not interested in the characteristics and the potential of this market, they are not even interested in making money but in a slower fashion, they want to become rich in weeks and this kind of attitude leads them to take risks so high that it is almost a guarantee they will lose all their capital in less than a year.
