A recent finding on UK's official business register, Companies House, revealed a new company called Elonspace Ltd with a sole director under the name of "Elon Musk Phd."
The entry records the same birth month and nationality as the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.
Other details, such as their UK-based location and country of residence, differ from Musk's. As Bloomberg reported, the business mogul quit his doctorate program after two days and never earned a PhD.
The contact address of ElonSpace Ltd is a tower building located in West London, which is used for student accommodation. The company is described as being active in computer facility management, IT and data processing.
While it has not been possible to uncover the identity of Elonspace Ltd's owner, Bloomberg reported that the company was registered in the UK the same week as posts on social media began promoting a crypto token by that name.
"We can not reveal any classified information about the company, nor the people involved," a representative for the crypto company told Bloomberg. "This would violate our NDA," they added.
One of Companies House's main purposes is to register company information and make it available to the public. It is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, its website states.
