Tesla said in a filing the decision was part of its broad investment policy as a company and was aimed at diversifying and maximizing its returns on cash. #Bitcoin surged after Tesla made the disclosure to hit a record high https://www.reuters.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Tesla made ~$1.5bn in ‘Regulatory Credits’ (related to carbon saving) which they put into BTC! 🤯 It makes perfect sense for regulators to apply negative regulatory credits to BTC-mining. https://twitter.com/...

It's absolutely bananas to think that while Elon was tweeting jokes about a fake/gag cryptocurrency named after a dog, he and Tesla were busy buying $1.5 billion in #Bitcoin 😂😎 https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Tesla buys $1.5B in bitcoin, plans to start accepting it as payment for products. The move raised immediate questions on CEO Musk's behavior on Twitter recent weeks, where he's been credited for increasing prices of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin/dogecoin: https://www.cnbc.com/...

Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that began in 2013 as a joke, is suddenly worth a total of more than $6 billion thanks to a flurry of tweets from Elon Musk https://www.wsj.com/...

Kind of amazing that Elon, Snoop, Gene Simmons, etc can pump Dogecoin, but ETF issuers can't retweet a basic educational article on their products.

Even them, they don't know which Crypto currency is which. You can't altogether trust a speculative assets. So you see why our idea of CowtoCurrency is marvelous right? Join the real deal. CowtoCurrency! https://twitter.com/...

If someone powerful touts something , but doesn't back it up with words or actions... that recommendation shouldn't mean very much. Even the fact that people cared about Chamath's GME bet tilted me, since $100k is such complete play money to him. https://twitter.com/...

While @elonmusk said he's a fan of Bitcoin he also admitted that he's late to the party. That may be why he's starting a new party in Dogecoin. The key to any Ponzi or Pyramid scheme is getting in early and not leaving late. Now #Dogecoin is better at being #Bitcoin than Bitcoin.
