Musk's name omitted from bitcoin council

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Musk was excluded from the Bitcoin Mining Council which was set up to ensure the crypto miners adhere to renewable energy usage.

The council with full name, North American Bitcoin Mining Council, was put together by investor and founder of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor.

The group wouldn't be regulating bitcoin miners' activities, but its goal is to encourage the phasing out of fossil fuels used mostly to develop bitcoin and replaced with renewable energy.
