A recent social media post by crypto pundit MartyParty has sparked renewed interest in the early investment patterns surrounding Solana. This interest centers around the revelation that Lyndon Rive, a cousin of Elon Musk, was among the first investors in Solana, a fact that has largely flown under the radar since Rive’s announcement on July 30, 2019. “Why is Elon Musk’s cousin Lyndon Rive one of the first investors in Solana.
