Yeah.
Tesla buying btc was purely a way to pump earnings numbers. It worked. I wonder if they dumped all of their BTC prior to him saying that. If they did that's smart for their bottom line but I would be skeptical as an investor as that's extremely sheisty and just shows how manipulative they are.
They didn't dump. Additionally, it would be pretty stupid if Tesla's management bought BTC to speculatively pump their earnings. BTC is no different than any other corporation investing cash into investments and recognizing realized or unrealized gains on those investments.
