ELON MUSK BUYS BITCOIN\-DIPPED TESLAS; PROMISES FREE CRYPTO WITH EVERY CAR PURCHASE TO OFFSET CARBON FOOTPRINT
March 11, 2025 - In a surprising twist that only the crypto cosmos could cook up, today it was unveiled that Elon Musk has once again married his love for flashy tech and headline-grabbing stunts by purchasing a fleet of Teslas dipped in Bitcoin. Yes, literally coated.
A spokesperson for Tesla announced that each Bitcoin-dipped vehicle would come with a digital wallet containing free cryptocurrency, an innovative move to “drive” down the carbon footprint associated with electric vehicle (EV) production. Critics argue that the environmental impact of mining Bitcoin possibly outweighs the benefits, but fans applaud the move as 'revolutionary.'
Meanwhile, financial experts are scratching their heads, wondering if this could be the move that finally stabilizes the volatile cryptocurrency market, or if it's just another one of Musk's high-octane publicity antics.
