The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX tweeted that he's not selling any of his crypto during this time of high inflation.

On Sunday, billionaire Elon Musk tweeted to his 77.9 million Twitter followers during an exchange about the impact of high inflation on various asset classes. Musk announced that he believes cryptos are a good investment and that he will not sell any of his cryptocurrency holdings.

"As a general principle, for those looking for advice from this thread, it is generally better to own physical things like a home or stock in companies you think make good products, than dollars when inflation is high. I still own & won't sell my Bitcoin, Ethereum or Doge fwiw [for what it's worth]," Musk stated in his tweet.

The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has publicly shared before that he owns Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin. The Tesla enterprise is the second largest non-crypto-exchange corporate owner of Bitcoin in the world with 38,300 Bitcoin on its balance sheet -- second only to MicroStrategy.

While Musk is not a financial analyst, his own practices regarding asset management during rising inflation make sense. All he was saying is that whatever assets you invest in need to produce returns that are greater than inflation, otherwise you're losing money. Given the recent and enduring inflation trend, that's becoming more challenging.

In fact, the Labor Department data released last week show that the primary inflation gauge -- the consumer price index -- was up 7.9% for February, marking the highest level in 40 years and the 10th straight month it was higher than 5%.

The three cryptos that Musk mentioned all produced significantly higher returns than inflation in 2021:
