My idea is that Elon Musk is just leveraging it's wealth and public visibility to gain a lot of money easily tricking the markets. Especially those market where people are more easily gullible. I think he did it with bitcoins when it declared Tesla will accept Bitcoin payments on the same basis of ordinary payments. Just later he abruptly dismissed the whole thing because the operation was terminated. In the meantime I guess he just acquired a lot of bitcoins before the public announcement and just sold them when the price was much higher. I think that stock market and Bitcoin market are easily gullible by wealthy people because a lot of people investing are inexperienced and are easily influenced by press communication without ground truth basis.
