What a ridiculous headline. How do you spend clean car credits, exactly?

Tesla has a market cap of almost a trillion dollars.

View on HN

You sell them to other companies for money and then spend that money?

You cannot, however, spend market cap.

Is there a cryptocurrency exchange that accepts clean car credits in exchange for bitcoin?

To reiterate what the parent said:

1. Sell to other companies for USD

2. Trade USD for cryptocurrency

In a way, you can even spend market cap, just issue new shares and raise money for the company. This way you can generate a lot of cash, especially if your market cap is inflated.
