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.

Clear CEO Caryn Seidman Becker discusses Clear’s technology and its role in a post-pandemic, post-vaccine world.
