A wants to give a bunch of money to B for a reason that they want to remain hidden (e.g. a bribe, illegal purchases, etc.). So B puts an NFT up for sale and A buys it for an inflated price. Now B has a plausible explanation for the source of the money.

This could actually help explain why Musk suddenly decided to go forward with the Twitter deal.

California already mandates that all new home construction include solar. This both increases power generation and reduces stress on the grid since power is used where it is generated.
