You can now buy a Tesla with bitcoin, Elon Musk says

Good news for fans of bitcoin: Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced early Wednesday that customers can now use the cryptocurrency to buy Tesla vehicles in the U.S. 

Last month, the electric car maker revealed that it purchased $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin. At the time, it said it would soon start accepting the cryptocurrency as a form of payment.  "You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin," Musk tweeted overnight.
