This is the third comment in this thread where you've written the same quote, claiming this is what "changed his mind".
Do you have any evidence of this claim?
I want to keep an open mind and not jump to gaslighting accusations. But something about this thread doesn't sit right.
- vardump 5y agoShrug... did some quick Googling and found this: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1392938133163888640 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1392938133163888640 He might be right.
- DoingIsLearning 5y agoI refuse to accept someone in his position (and with his net worth) did not know their environmental impact _before_ moving into cryptocurrencies.
- brutal_chaos_ 5y agoI'm not defending Musk, though ignorance doesn't necessarily diminish with growing wealth even if there are more opportunities to learn.
- ra7 5y agoSo reviving old power plants was the final straw for Musk? If that hadn't happened, he'd continue to support Bitcoin even with this incredible energy usage? I don't know. It seems very convenient to list them as reasons now.
- vardump 5y agoI don't know either. But he did the right thing in the end. Could also be some other person, like his wife or kids who pushed him to do this. Or other members of Tesla management worrying about the brand damage.
