🚗#Tesla ’s Driverless Future Sparks Crypto Buzz
Tesla just launched its long-anticipated robotaxi service in Austin, Texas — and the internet is buzzing. Elon Musk is sharing early feedback on X, but it was a surprising question that stole the spotlight.
💬 “When will these robotaxis accept crypto?”
That question came from Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of crypto exchange Gemini. While it may sound like a simple suggestion, it hints at a deeper possibility: integrating crypto into everyday mobility.
Musk has previously shown support for digital assets like Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Tesla even accepted Bitcoin for car purchases briefly in 2021 before pausing over environmental concerns. Despite that, Tesla still holds over $1 billion in Bitcoin — making it one of the largest corporate holders.
🧠 Crypto Twitter had thoughts:
🐶 @dogeofficialceo: “Would be cool to see Tesla accept Doge.”
⚡ @schulzzy: “Tesla should go with Bitcoin, not just crypto.”
🌍 Meanwhile...
Crypto markets are under pressure after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $102,043, down 4.3% this week (via Kraken).
🔮 What’s next?
Will Tesla embrace crypto payments again — this time for its autonomous fleet? The idea is no longer far-fetched. With Musk at the wheel, the road to a crypto-powered ride might be closer than we think.
