Though, on Reddit, he clarified that the cars will be stripped out & repurposed: “Let’s just say Tesla model 3s are sold in Australia below cost. Their shares are value more than their sum.”
This isn’t the first time BCH advocates have transported the crypto to Elon Musk’s attention. On March 25, in reply to Musk tweeting that “You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin,” Kim Dotcom likened BCH & BTC fees maxim the previous “is serving the mass market, not just the 1%.”
