Elon continues his support for dogecoin.

Despite DOGE’s launch as a joke cryptocurrency in 2013, Musk stated that the token has lots of potentials, especially when it is used in payments.
Musk has been backing words with action regarding DOGE’s payments capabilities.
Musk has added support for Dogecoin across his businesses, including Tesla and SpaceX. The popular cryptocurrency can be used to purchase Tesla and SpaceX’s merchandise.
Musk’s ultimate goal is to see Dogecoin being used as the “currency of the internet.” Earlier this year, Vladimir Tenev, the co-founder of Robinhood Markets, shared insights on how Dogecoin can become the currency of the internet.
The tips shared by Tenev prompted a reaction from Musk, who called on the attention of Dogecoin’s co-creator Billy Marcus.
