Elon Musk commented on a post on Twitter that a netizen posted, "You can dispose of the bitcoins that Tesla holds."
This is completely contrary to the recent position of "I will not sell Bitcoin".
Earlier, Musk announced on the 12th that Tesla's plan to stop Bitcoin payments, but said it would not sell the Bitcoins Tesla owns.
However, in just four days, he reversed his words, showing that Tesla could dispose of its bitcoins without detailed explanation.
In response, CNBC broadcaster, an American economic media, said, "Musk hinted that Tesla may have sold or could sell the remaining bitcoin reserves."
After Musk's tweet, the price of Bitcoin at one time fell by more than 8%, and Ethereum also fell by 6.5%.
As the controversy escalated, Musk's tweet commented that Tesla might have sold the bitcoins that Tesla had, and Tesla posted a new tweet stating that it had not sold any bitcoins.
Regarding the controversy over Musk's tweet, some have pointed out that it is inappropriate to continue influencing the market by posting an ambiguous response by the CEO of a large global company.
