The tech mogul further elucidated his support for Dogecoin, recounting instances where Tesla and SpaceX employees expressed their backing for the meme-inspired cryptocurrency. Musk recalled encounters during factory visits where workers on the assembly line implored him to endorse DOGE.
Inspired by the grassroots enthusiasm surrounding Dogecoin (DOGE), Musk saw that the pioneer memecoin truly was the people’s crypto and pledged his support. He even observed that Bitcoin (BTC) had the support of the rich but DOGE had the support of the regular folk.
With Musk reaffirming his backing for Dogecoin, speculation arises regarding its potential impact on the broader crypto market. CoinGecko data reveals DOGE’s current price at $0.18, marking a remarkable 124.1% surge over the past month. As Dogecoin gains momentum, other meme coins like PEPE, WIF, FLOKI, SHIB, and BONK have also experienced notable increases in value.
The resurgence of Musk’s endorsement could reignite a memecoin frenzy reminiscent of earlier surges. This time, however, Dogecoin could lead the charge, propelled by Musk’s influential support.
The question remains whether Elon Musk’s backing will catalyze another significant surge across all meme coins or propel DOGE to unprecedented heights, leaving its competitors in the dust.
