Tesla takes profit from crypto investment and some stupid people aren't even bothered, like I always say even billionaires who invest in crypto are here for the profits no matter how long they chill and hype the coins, be smart people
You are right, after being involved in the crypto market for a while, TESLA released bad news like taking a profit of $250 million in Bitcoin and stopped accepting TESLA tram payments in Bitcoin. I don't know if they've sold off their bitcoins yet but they're clearly disrupting the market.
They needed a reason to dump the huge amount of coins they purchased and that they got with the "energy wastage" excuse. I am not sure why they would do it because Elon is one of the richest guys, but seems like they have done it.
Someone with the awareness and stature of Musk, I don't think he wasn't aware of the energy waste when he announced Tesla will accept bitcoins payments. He just played with the whole market and even after quitting the bitcoin hype, he is still trying to gain more hype for doge and I can't think of what doge holders will do the day Elon dumps it or makes negative sentiment tweets against doge, because it also works on proof of work which consumes energy.
