Tesla founder Elon Musk might be questioned by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the automaker said it had bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin, some experts have warned.
The Tesla Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the world's richest person, could be questioned if Tesla already owned bitcoin, since the cryptocurrency's price had risen after he included "#Bitcoin" in his Twitter bio, The Telegraph said. Musk has since deleted the hashtag from his Twitter bio.
