At the same time, others believed it to be part of some elaborate plan by Musk, who has boosted the cryptocurrency market several times by simply posting memes on Twitter.
Tesla's chief financial officer, Zach Kirkhorn, has the new title of Master of Coin.

I will assume that Elon Musk changed Zach's job title.
