A new chapter in the dispute between Tesla, Elon Musk and Bitcoin & egrave; was written over the weekend, strictly on Twitter as is now customary. Musk, in response to a tweet, explained that Tesla will return; to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment for its cars when at least 50% of the energy used by the miners will be; clean and with this growing trend.
Everything is; started last March when, after buying a quantity & agrave; sizable share of Bitcoin through Tesla, Musk announced that the company would also allow its customers to leverage cryptocurrency to pay for passenger cars. The initiative, which we do not know exactly how much it has been embraced by customers, is duration for & ograve; right until May, when the entrepreneur announced that the novelty of a couple of months before it was already; been removed. The reasons for that change of plans were, at least officially, related to the concern that Bitcoin miners, engaged in an activity; which notoriously requires large quantities of electricity, exploiting polluting energy sources .
It is a very complex matter and the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and therefore of its mining, do not help to have a precise idea of what is the distribution of the energy sources used. Of course, it can; to raise an eyebrow at the idea that Tesla first invested $ 1.5 billion in Bitcoin and then raised any doubts about sustainability; energy of the project.

In the same tweet, Musk wanted to remark another thing, namely that the sale of 10% of Tesla's position in Bitcoin, which emerged during the last financial meeting of the company, was nothing more than a test to verify liquidity of the market, therefore the possibility; to sell (but ideally also to buy) without significantly moving the price.
The story of love and hate between Musk and cryptocurrencies continues after a countless number of chapters. In the last month alone, the Tesla boss is was threatened by an online group and explained to the world his vision for the Doge memecoin.
