Either market manipulation or incompetence, it's one of the two. For someone who owns Tesla and a solar company, claiming that he didn't already knew that Bitcoin is a huge energy sink seems unlikely. Tesla is a little more high profile, but they certainly aren't the first company to implement something, or take a action, where you from the outside question the environmental impact. Only to have the company reverse the same decision a while later, claiming a huge effort to help the environment.
