Jared Tate in response to the release of DigiByte v7.17.3 stated, Updating to v7.17.3 will also help w/ updated seeds on the network making it easier for new Digibyte nodes to come online. This not a required update. Just continual improvement. Thanks to everyone who helped with it!

Digibyte tweeted:  The DigiByte team is pleased to release DigiByte v7.17.3! This release resolves the underlying Unit Tests and provides a solid foundation for the upcoming version 8 release. No fork / consensus changes here. Upgrading 100% optional.

Jared Tate stated that he has bought Bitcoin in the first dip.

Responding to the environmental concerns of Elon Musk, Jared Tate retweeted:  Digibyte is the blockchain for Tesla. DGB uses 5 unique mining algos that provide better mining, diversity, security with much less energy. DGB is 40X faster and more scalable with Bitcoin with the transaction fees of less than $0.01. 7.5 years old and truly decentralized Digibyte.org.

Even Rudy Bouwman a prominent voice in the DGB community stated:  DGB is a better fit for Tesla.

Commenting about Vitalik Buterin donating Jared Stated:  Donating half of a 100% pre-mined meme token issued on top of a platform you 100% pre-mined when it launched is not philanthropy. Thats some next level fourberie hoodwinking.

Jared Tate thanked Elon stating, “Much wow! The more people Elon & DOGE bring into crypto, the more that learn Dogecoin uses Digibyte tech & bigger the DGB blockchain family grows. Welcome everyone! Thanks Elon.”

Meanwhile, Josiah Spackman, Chief Fun Officer at Digibyte Inc, seemed to agree with Michelle who tweeted:  “So let me get this straight. Someone who makes cars that consume electricity for a living won’t accept Bitcoin for payment to purchase said electric cars because it consumes too much electricity?”

Josiah Further clarified stating:  75%+ of $BTC mining uses renewable energy 2/ #DigiByte is PoW, same as #Bitcoin, so don’t try pedaling DGB instead 3/ $DOGE is AuxPoW with $LTC, so also same 4/ Traditional banking consumes WAY more energy 5/ You can’t start a war with BTC, but you can print more Fiat.

Josiah further stated, we’ve been asked like 6x in the last couple of days for Digibyte comparisons with DOGE specifically…

This just looks like Elon Musk with his Tweets work every CEO or every blockchain up and everyone replied to his tweets.  This is a real influencer whether for good or bad.  Once the celebrity hype subsides people will start thinking with their brains! Interestingly, every token is trying to impress Elon Musk.
