Oct 12, 2020 at 08:32 UTCUpdated Oct 12, 2020 at 13:50 UTC.Elon Musk has thrown doubt on a claimed sighting of a bitcoin ATM at the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada.
The tweet was accompanied by a Google maps image revealing the location of the ATM on the northern side of the massive factory complex.
According to a Sunday report by Finbold, the ATM was installed by LibertyX in August of this year solely for the use by employees of the factory.
Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk said he didn't believe the claim was "Accurate" in a tweet on Monday.
The post to which Musk replied has since been deleted, presumably in response to his tweet.
CoinDesk reached out to Tesla for confirmation but had not received a reply by press time.
Reeves' sighting was apparently confirmed to CoinDesk by bitcoin ATM operator LibertyX in a direct message, which said: "We have enabled [three] traditional ATMs inside so employees can use their debit cards and buy bitcoin."
LibertyX now claims to have over 5,000 crypto ATMs in operation across the U.S., as well as a bitcoin buying service in around 20,000 stores.
