Following the volatility of Bitcoin and the environmental impact of mining the cryptocurrency, Mr. Musk said Tesla would not be accepting the cryptocurrency as a payment for the car company. This led to a big reduction in the coin’s value and just yesterday he tweeted Tesla has Diamond hands (referring to the company’s bitcoin reserve valued at $1.5 billion).
