I am pro Tesla as a company and own a model Y, but this news was upsetting and frustrating to me. Exactly what changed from a few months ago when they announced their Bitcoin position and that they would accept payment? They knew damn well about mining in China being almost exclusively coal and that mining is extremely bad for the environment.
On another note, I don't think anybody was able to buy a Tesla with Bitcoin. This was a false claim that never came to fruition. Some serious market manipulation here by Tesla and Elon.
- yks 5y agoThe most reasonable explanation is that Tesla/Elon don't actually care about the environment and if it's going to suffer in their pursuit of whatever financial scheming and/or vanity, so be it.

- graphtrader 5y agoI have really lost a ton of respect for Elon in the past few week. If we were talking penny stocks, this is classic pump and dump behavior that should result in jail time. I mean how much attention does one person need.
