Michael Saylor, a well-known Bitcoin advocate who had earlier announced his resignation as MicroStrategy CEO, responded to Elon Musk's ironic tweet about wanting to buy the Manchester United football team coin.

--We would prefer that you buy some more #bitcoin.

Saylor responded to Musk saying he'd 'prefer' if he bought more Bitcoin.
A better response would be something including reasons to buy Bitcoin, besides pleasing Michael Saylor... but okay.
Musk said in February 2021 that Tesla had purchased BTC for $1.5 billion and had begun taking it as payment for its electric vehicles. However, the payment method was removed in April due to contentious concerns about Bitcoin miners and the effects they were having on the environment.In spite of this, Tesla kept all of that Bitcoin until recently. In the second quarter of 2022, the corporation sold off 75% of its Bitcoin, leaving only $218 million in the cryptocurrency's balance. The corporation purchased Bitcoin for $31,620 and sold it for almost $29,000 per unit.
Musk says he hasn't sold any of his privately owned crypto...
Musk did clarify, though, that he was not selling his personal cryptocurrency holdings, only those that belonged to Tesla, the company.
Musk has mentioned owning Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the coin he says he continues to buy more of, Dogecoin.
