In reply to this tweet, Elon Musk had replied, ‘indeed’.
This exchange happened soon after Musk informed that his vehicle-making company will be holding instead of selling their BTC. In addition, they plan on using their holdings for transactions immediately after mining becomes considerably sustainable energy.
