Bitcoin mining and increasing energy bills — Sen. Warren vs Crypto Twitter
CRYPTO TREYSI
On the other hand, Microstrategy founder and chairman Michael Saylor contradicted Sen. Warren’s statement. He explained how Bitcoin mining does not contribute to pollution but instead helps decrease the energy bill.
#Bitcoin miners decrease the energy bill for millions of American families and do not create pollution. They are data centers running on excess electricity that would otherwise be wasted, and perform the vital role of powering the most secure computer network in the world.

Others from the Crypto Twitter community sought to tag Tesla CEO and Dogecoin (DOGE) supporter Elon Musk in the conversation, who has been actively trying to eradicate disinformation campaigns on his newly-owned social media platform.

In a recent FOX interview, Musk revealed the development of a ChatGPT rival known as TruthGPT. According to the entrepreneur, TruthGPT is a large language model (LLM) that will be trained to explore the mysteries of the universe. In his words:
“I’m going to start something which I call TruthGPT, or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe.”
In the interview, Musk told Fox anchor Tucker Carlson that ChatGPT “is programmed by left-wing experts, which train the chatbots to lie.”
