Elon Musk: An Unwavering Supporter of Dogecoin

Tech mogul Elon Musk's fondness for Dogecoin$0.091 -0.42% (DOGE), the infamous memecoin, is well-known. As the driving force behind Tesla, X, and SpaceX, Musk frequently expresses admiration for the fun and light-hearted nature of Dogecoin. He even noted the potential irony if this crypto, born as a joke, became the future's currency.

Responses to Musk's comments on DOGE frequently result in drastic price fluctuations. Unsurprisingly, his enthusiastic endorsement of DOGE has landed him in hot water with investors who claim that their losses were triggered by Musk's statements.

Dogecoin and Bitcoin's Role in SpaceX

Despite facing potential legal repercussions, Musk remains a staunch advocate for DOGE. In a recent X Space discussion, he reaffirmed ownership of a bunch of Dogecoin, while also revealing that SpaceX holds a bunch of Bitcoin$42,260 -0.64%. Different from usual, this announcement did not significantly affect the price of DOGE, which has experienced a decrease of over 7% in the weekly charts.

Speculations About Musk's Dogecoin Holdings

As the wealthiest individual globally, when Musk claims to own a bunch of DOGE, the actual amount could potentially be over six figures. However, the exact quantity of DOGE owned by Musk remains unknown.

There is a theory suggesting that Musk could be a secret Dogecoin (DOGE) whale, possessing over 36 billion tokens and owning approximately 28.27% of the total DOGE in circulation. Skeptics, however, challenge this claim, arguing that Musk is openly against the idea of cryptocurrencies being concentrated in the hands of a few.

Musk: A Promoter of Cryptocurrency

Despite any controversy, Musk's support for Dogecoin (DOGE) and cryptocurrency in general cannot be denied. The billionaire has recently speculated about Bitcoin (BTC) being used as a currency on Mars, albeit acknowledging potential transaction time barriers. However, Musk suggested that localized settlements could potentially alleviate such transaction delays.
