It was absolutely his intention. Everyone who owns bitcoin wants it to go up. This is exactly a pump and dump strategy. He went on SNL to make a broader market aware of it, then in the interest it created, he offloads his shares?

Smartest guy on the planet, claiming to be saving it from climate change didn't know Bitcoin damages the environment?

If he didn't already know that, then can he be trusted? If he did know that, can he be trusted?

Actually yeah who knows. It does make Tesla investment into Bitcoin look completely naive and shortsighted. They surely should have known a few month ago? Did they even start selling cars for coins?

Also probably a good idea to check the real CO2 numbers, they often get extrapolated I think.
