Crypto Twitter went ballistic following this tweet.
PlanB posted the following tweet:
So Elon never really understood #bitcoin, never understood proof-of-work. His Doge pump was a warning sign. His turning to other “crypto” is confirmation. No more Tesla for me. https://t.co/wPzE3eEF68

Someone commented “..electricity isn’t used for transaction processing. It’s used to secure the network. Doge is PoW meaning it faces the same basic dynamics as Bitcoin. It uses less electricity now because it’s less secure.”

A follower said: ” I like the dogecoin community but I hate the fact Elon Musk has the sole power of either bringing its value up or down with a fucking tweet. This is what I don’t like about investing in dogecoin.”
One other person said: “So you stop tesla accepting bitcoin due to the ‘environmental impact’ even though 76% of people mining bitcoin use renewable energy then you promote dogecoin as much as you can?! This sounds like market manipulation to me! Unacceptable behaviour, Elon.”
