Bu çalışmada Elon Musk’ın twitter üzerinden kripto varlıklarla ilgili olarak paylaştığı tweetlerin kripto varlıklar üzerinde sürü davranışına neden olup olmadığı ele alınmış ve bulgular yüksek ve düşük getiri, yüksek ve düşük volatilite, pandemi dönemi ve pandemi dışı dönem kapsamında Elon Musk’ın tweet paylaştığı ve paylaşmadığı tarihler çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada Tether, Binance ve USD Coin hariç Temmuz 2022 itibarıyla en yüksek piyasa kapitalizasyonuna sahip 17 para birimi kullanılmış ve 01.04.2019-14.07.2022 tarihleri arasında 59 farklı günde toplam 84 ayrı tweet incelenmiştir. Çalışma neticesinde Elon Musk’ın kripto varlıklar ile ilgili tweetlerinin kripto varlık piyasasında sürü davranışına neden olmadığı aksine pandemi harici diğer tüm dönemlerde ters sürü davranışına neden olduğuna dair bulgular elde edilmiştir.
