Tesla CEO Elon MuskThere’s one more reason to continue to support Dogecoin. In an interview at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, Elon Musk told Bloomberg: “Many people who are not that rich have encouraged me to buy and support Dogecoin. I answer these people.”
Elon Musk has been a verbal advocate of Dogecoin since April 2019, when he tweeted that the meme coin was his favorite cryptocurrency. dogecoinIt hit an all-time high of $0.76 when fans thought he’d be talking about it, shortly before Musk appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in May 2021, then plummeted after calling it a “rush it.”
Quickly returning to the present, Elon Musk is still a staunch supporter of Dogecoin. Musk stated on Sunday that he will continue to support Dogecoin and will also buy the meme coin.
you’ve always been earnest about supporting the coin for what i consider the right reasons – you find it amusing, appreciate the satire and irony, and you think it has potential as a currency – and your companies accept it for merch, giving it more utility

The co-creator shared a series of tweets over the weekend featuring his hopes for DOGE. Firstly; He wants Dogecoin to have a reason to exist. Second, it also wants the community to understand what crypto is and what the crypto market is. Third, he wants people to continue to develop and benefit from Dogecoin.
