Tesla CEO Elon Musk has played a pivotal role in Dogecoin's rise. Since publicly endorsing the cryptocurrency in April 2019, Musk has frequently leveraged his massive social media presence to promote Dogecoin. He famously stated that the term “Dogecoin” would be sent to the moon via a SpaceX rocket, a declaration that catapulted the coin’s price to an all-time high of $0.67.
During Tesla’s Q3 2024 earnings call, Musk revealed that 10% of the company’s balance sheet would be allocated to Dogecoin holdings, sparking a 47% single-day price surge. His companies have built a closed-loop payment ecosystem:
Ø Starlink provides decentralized internet infrastructure,
Ø Tesla Superchargers accept Dogecoin as a payment method,
Ø Neuralink is exploring crypto payment verification through brain-machine interfaces.
These developments position Dogecoin as the first cryptocurrency to achieve integrated application across space, earth, and bio-neural systems, establishing it as a unique player in the crypto landscape.
