🚨Elon Musk Gushes About #Bitcoin 'Energy' Demands—Years After Environmental Gripes

👉Musk was weighing in on a discussion of AI becoming the “new global arms race,” and reasoning that precious metals and Bitcoin have been soaring because “it’s the ‘debasement’ to fund the AI arms race.”#BitcoinEnergy
