During a recent Clubhouse, appearance Musk had mentioned that he was aware of the top cryptocurrency as early as 2013 and also said that many other wall street giants would rush to add Bitcoin to their company’s balance sheet.

Scaramucci also predicted that Musk would eventually invest in renewable bitcoin mining given his love for renewable energy and the fact that he made electric cars mainstream. There has been a lot of FUD around Bitcoin mining and its carbon footprint, something which was debunked two years ago.
