Mr Musk tweeted Tesla would be running its own internal software to handle Bitcoin payments, which "operates Bitcoin nodes directly".
Further in a statement he said: "Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat [government-controlled] currency"
It should be noted that like Euro and Dollar, Bitcoin is also a currency but it is only in virtual or digital form. The virtual-digital currency can be purchased with cash, credit or debit cards and wire transfers, but first the buyer need to create a bitcoin 'vault'.
The vault creates an identity called a wallet ID and holds bitcoin similarly as cash or credit cards in your wallet.
Regarding the use of bitcoins for Tesla's vehicles, Elon Musk said on Twitter that the facility to pay with bitcoins will be available in countries other than the United States by the end of this year.
Elon Musk continues to innovate his work through technology. However, Tesla recently bought Bitcoins worth $ 1.5 billion.
Bitcoin's value rapidly moves up and down - meaning the cryptocurrency price of the car could change day to day.
