Because if Elon Musk fulfills his promise that Tesla will accept Bitcoin again for payment, there is a very high chance that the price value of Bitcoin will rally due to the strength of Elon Musk's influence in an industry like this.

That said, Bloomberg analyst Jamie Coutts, CMT,

Over 50% is said to be the energy source used in Bitcoin mining, which means this is positive news for bitcoin.
