<p>Recently, a video surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) on the account of @dogeofficialceo, where Elon Musk is seen interacting with the public at the Berlin Gigafactory, a Tesla manufacturing plant. One of the audience members raised a question to Musk as to whether Tesla can be bought using DOGE in the future, to which Musk responded optimistically, saying,</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p> “ At some point we should enable doing that.” The company already lets users purchase merchandise with Dogecoin.&nbsp;</p> 
</blockquote> 
<p>Musk’s response sparked great enthusiasm among investors, and the token witnessed a sudden surge from $0.172 to $0.188 as the video gained widespread views. He replied with his famous phrase ‘Dogecoin to the moon’.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-doge-the-people-s-crypto-says-musk"><strong>DOGE, the people’s crypto, says Musk</strong></h2> 
<p>Musk initially started endorsing DOGE after a few employees from Tesla urged the CEO to support <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/dogecoin/">Dogecoin</a> as an official mode of payment. A similar request was made to him at SpaceX by visitors demanding support for Dogecoin, which was ultimately accepted. </p> 
<p>In Musk’s terms, Doge is people’s crypto, so he will support it. Musk believes that BTC got support from a lot of rich people, and he wanted to support a crypto that is preferred by the general public.</p> 
<p>Musk’s “everything app” X (formerly Twitter) recently created an ‘XPayments’ account for its upcoming payments feature, fueling speculation amongst the crypto community about whether cryptocurrencies will be implemented. </p> 
<p>There is anticipation that the X app will introduce in-app payment services by mid-2024. However, whether the feature will support payments beyond traditional fiat currencies or if Musk will go ahead with Dogecoin has not yet been confirmed.</p>

<p>In previous instances, Musk has also expressed his fondness for DOGE on multiple occasions, particularly since 2021. Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.1863 as of writing.</p>
