The post itself was a prank but the purchase is very real. It was self-reported by Tesla I believe.

Tesla's SEC filing (https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/0001...):
> Thereafter, we invested an aggregate $1.50 billion in bitcoin under this policy and may acquire and hold digital assets from time to time or long-term. Moreover, we expect to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis, which we may or may not liquidate upon receipt.
Title: Reddit Post Reporting Tesla's Bitcoin Purchase From a Month Ago Was a Hoax
Reportedly, the person claiming to be a Tesla insider with intel on the bitcoin purchase was actually some political science major college student tripping on acid. Crazy how so many people ate this story up.
