Is it a flip flop or did he just... change his mind? I mean, the guy has a long history of tweet-first-think-later. It seems not unreasonable to me that he got suddenly and violently into cryptocoins, did the same thing people here do every week when they learn about it for the first time, and then (being a billionaire) had trusted folks come to him to carefully explain all the externalities and his generally-strong-if-highly-distractable analytical mind made a different decision with better evidence.
I mean... I'm not saying Tesla's weird daliance with and then rejection of Bitcoin is particularly rational. I'm just saying it doesn't seem insincere.
