Anonymous also slammed Elon Musk "prematurely" who calls himself the 'Ruler of Mars', saying that Red Planet is the place where the founder of SpaceX will send people to die.
Last month, Elon Musk, citing concerns about climate change, said in a tweet Tesla stopped car purchases using Bitcoin.
The international team used, Anonymous, has threatened Tesla boss Elon Musk to "wait for them", saying games played by a businessman on crypto markets appear to be destroying people's lives. In a video posted on Anonymous's Facebook page, hackers said Elon Musk's "Carefully woven" photo was exposed, and people "are beginning to see him as just another rich and aspiring rich man.
"There are many other companies that work in space exploration and in electric vehicles, you are the only major manager who has found a religion that follows the posting and kicking of the world on social media," the hacktivist group said.
According to a Forbes report, Tesla's gross seven-quarters profit came from billions of dollars that came from selling carbon tax bills to petrol car manufacturers who needed to meet US and European Union pollution laws. The report also revealed that an electric car and clean energy company based in Palo Alto, California, reported sales of $ 4.4 billion in revenue, with $ 2.69 billion of that revenue coming from 2019.
Anonymous said people are starting to learn that most of Tesla's revenue is not actually from car sales but from government grants and the sale of new carbon tax bills for clean energy. “This, of course, is not your new thing, because you are not really the founder of Tesla. You just bought this company from two very smart people, Mark Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, ”he added.
The group claimed that Tesla had made more money by holding on to Bitcoin for a few months than it had been by selling cars for years. They also suggested that Bitcoins might be purchased with government subsidies. "It is now widely believed that you have been forced to abandon your company's involvement with Bitcoin in order to keep that green government money flowing into Tesla's coffers," Anonymous said.
Last month, Elon Musk, citing concerns about climate change, said in a tweet Tesla stopped car purchases using Bitcoin. The announcement was followed by a meltdown in the crypto market, erasing more than billions of dollars at a higher market value. Anonymous said the use of the power dispute over Bitcoin mining "is a very serious discussion that requires a complex understanding of how power grids work, and how much power is wasted by energy companies and sought by crypto miners."
"This is a conversation you have had for over a year and you know it well, but as soon as your main source of funding is threatened you pretend you have nothing and you try to play both sides of the phone," said the group's chief of staff.
Anonymous said Elon Musk's move to form a Bitcoin mining council was seen as appropriate in an effort to bring one sector under the control of Tesla CEO. They noted that millions of retail investors relied on their crypto profits to improve their lives, and although they put themselves at risk when investing, Musk's tweets showed obvious indifference to the average working man.
“You may think you are the smartest person in the room, but now you have met your game. Unknown! We are the Legion! We are waiting, ”warned the group.
