Musk has said he strongly believes in crypto, and Tesla said at one point it would accept vehicle purchases in the form of bitcoin. The CEO also included the #bitcoin hashtag in his Twitter bio at one point.
But in mid-May, Musk announced the company was suspending bitcoin payments over concerns around the use of fossil fuels for bitcoin mining and transactions. He said Tesla would start accepting it when at least half of bitcoin mining is powered by clean energy.
Musk has kicked off market rallies for the tweets he posts about cryptocurrencies, much to the anger of regulators and investors.
The most recent was when he tweeted "my Shiba Inu will be named Floki," a reference to the Shiba Inu that represents dogecoin. The altcoin shot up 16% just minutes after Musk published his tweet.
