Kelly Slater took a toll on Elon Musk
Two years ago, the Tesla owner, Elon Musk, announced that Tesla electric cars would consider taking bitcoins as their payment. As a result, bitcoin prices went up. Then again, 3 months after the initial announcement, Musk mentioned in his tweet, not to consider bitcoin as the payment, as according to Musk, “insane energy use was hurting the planet“. Hence, the bitcoin prices went down.

As per the report, Slater took to his Instagram story to reproach Musk. The surfer wrote, “So a guy who owns an energy company doesn’t understand this stuff before he buy it? Has no problem taking the profits. Does he have an issue with kids mining cobalt in the Democratic Republic of Congo to build batteries?”
