Interesting, thanks for posting!
There is often a belief that artists don't care about money & live in garrets with no rent.
In practice artists care more about money than their art & NFT maybe a way they can more easily get the financial credit for their work that they think they deserve.
As things are I still see all of this as Musk setting the necessary parameters to defend the introduce his own cyber & to develop NFT with it in some ecologically friendly way.
If one thinks back to the early computers they were massive power hungry monsters & yet now most carry smart phones that are far more powerful than the early machines & use very tiny amounts of power.
