Do you seriously think that Bitcoin enthusiasts are Elon Musk's target market? Bitcoin is useless and inflexible as a currency, and the massive risk definitely won't help bring Tesla any profit. Sounds more like market moving on his part designed to get publicity. Musk is known for making controversial decisions to increase his notoriety.


There is close to $1 Trillion worth of bitcoin out there, largely held by futurist / technology enthusiast types. If that's not his target market then who is?


Well if I just made multiples of what a Tesla costs thanks to this move perhaps I practice some positive reinforcement & purchase a Tesla? Adding support for BTC payments just facilitates the transaction even more so
