Well no actually, he had already been orange pilled when he put BTC on the Tesla balance sheet, then allowed purchases with bitcoin for a short time. Then he got bamboozled by the woke climate control crowd who said it used too much energy and stopped purchases of Tesla via BTC. Then sold a large part of his stack and hasn't changed his policy since. So he understands BTC, just chooses not to support it. NOT good.
Mind you , I'm a Tesla driver so I support Elon, but this is NOT smart on his part. Nor is his support for Doggy shitcoin over bitcoin.
