Problem with publicly traded companies is they have to be short sighted.

If there's a cashflow deficit (as mentioned in the article) and selling BTC will cover it, the board will push for it to keep shareholders happy.

Being objective here since obviously Elon is a controversial figure, but this is a Wall Street problem. If quarterly earnings are next week, they wouldn't even care if they had a crystal ball telling them for certain BTC will be worth 10x in a month. They want to see the fiat balance sheet go up NOW.

And the law enforces this type of thinking too (fiduciary duty), opening a company up to lawsuits if they don't go along with the Wall Street analysts.

Personally as a TSLA stonkholder I'd rather have a down quarter or two followed by a 100%+ ROI after, but a public company is a slave to Wall Street sadly.
