Elon Musk is sending bitcoin’s price on another volatile ride.
The price of bitcoin is surging after Tesla ( TSLA) CEO Elon Musk tweeted Sunday that the electric car company would start accepting the cryptocurrency again once at least half of it can be mined using clean energy. « When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions, » Musk tweeted Sunday afternoon. Musk did not say anything about how he expected clean energy usage to be monitored, nor did his company immediately respond to a request from CNN Business for comment.
