Bitcoin spikes a little and Elon Musk posts somewhat in favour of it, most likely for clout and to give the impression that his opinion has an effect on the Bitcoin value. He's trying to stay relevant in the Bitcoin space and build on that publicity.

No one cares (or should care) if Elon musk accepts bitcoins for Teslas or not, or if he believes mining is damaging to the environment, news agencies would use it to sell articles and publications, but it should become old news after a while.

Bitcoin didn't need Elon to get to where it is today and surely won't need him to move forward from here.

I get the feeling Musk is pitching this whole "Green" energy challenge to create a demand for his "Power Wall" or the batteries that are being manufactured in his factories, because Solar and Wind generators goes hand in hand with electric batteries. (small scale)

Musk never say or do something without some hidden agenda, so I too will not be surprised if he plans to develop some "Green" solution for this fabricated problem. (He might already have hired some Crypto developers to develop a MuskCoin and to link that to his "Power Wall" or something under development.) Roll Eyes

Sometimes me poop is green, if I run an antminer s-12 ( low power, older model ), would I meet the "Musk Seal of Approval" for "Green", inquiring minds got to know.

If I mine on st-paddy's day? Dress in green? Will that work?

Mine in Ireland?

Brown ( drought, lack of water, dead plants ) is the new Green in California&Texas (new home of Musk), will he play the brown card, and put down the green card?

While I know his electric EV's are hardly green given Lithium mining is terrible pollution, and all the electricity is most coal burning out of sight&mind. Then of course his rockets, where each launch is what? Something like 10k auto's in a year, burns the same fuel as a rocket-engine escaping the earth's gravity.

Musk is about as Green as my feces on a normal day. But hell the 'green talk' has gotten him ten's of billions of free tax money. Bullshit works in the USA, works well.

Does plugging into a volcano count?

Hell for that matter, Musk could launch 'satellites' that could generate solar 24/7, and transmit the bitcoins home to earth; would that be green? Surely I think we can ignore that 500 tons of explosive gases used to launch a rocket.

Somebody here surely can propose a power generation device for this hypothetical volcano, I suspect you could lower a bunch of beer can's into heat-source, use the steam pressure to run turbines to power the S-19 ant-miners ( bitmain ) 88TH-Sec; Waste of water, but right marketing it could be 'green'

U just know that Musk is going to announce a green power source, very soon for this new problem that he's created and defined, a "Green Bitcoin Miner"

Seriously, WTF does this really mean?

An S-19 is 2500 Watts, a standard 1M sq solar panel is 300W, so say you need to ten run the miner, but that only' from 8am-4pm, what's you going to do the other 16 hours,

Of course U could locate your green miners near a river and hydro, .. but that's why they went to the coal areas, as the rivers have dried up

So that leaves Iceland and 'geo-thermal' ASIC mining, ...

Now, who is going to tell me when MUSK's request is met, that +50% of all ASIC miners on earth have gone 'green'

R we going to re-define 'green' sort of like how "CHIA" HDD mining is 'green' where it kills SSD's & HDD's that must be dumped in toxic land-fills, so green indeed.

Just posting this OP, because most news sources just run "Musk is back to Bitcoin", they don't tell you his caveat, that it must go green.
