Historically, DOGE has seen price increases following Musk’s comments and public posts due to his apparent fascination with the dog-themed meme token.
In April, Musk hinted at DOGE payments on X, previously known as Twitter, suggesting dogecoin as a potential payment option for Twitter Blue, the site’s subscription service with premium features.
Musk’s electric car company, Tesla, already accepts DOGE payments for merchandise purchases in the Tesla Store.
