Elon Musk’s $1.5B Bet on Bitcoin; Dogecoin Tweets; Clear CEO & Post-Vaccine Safety

Elon Musk’s Tesla announced that it has bought $1.5B in bitcoin, and the company plans to accept the currency as payment for its products. Galaxy Digital’s Michael Novogratz says this should be the first corporate move of many, but Tesla’s announcement intensifies concerns that Elon Musk is irresponsibly wielding his power to hype stocks and cryptocurrency--like Dogecoin--on his social media. South Africa is second guessing the efficacy of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine against a new coronavirus variant, and back in the U.S., Super Bowl LV used touchless security company Clear to keep attendees and health workers safe at this year’s game. Clear CEO Caryn Seidman Becker discusses Clear’s technology and its role in a post-pandemic, post-vaccine world.
