Musk: Tesla will accept Dogecoin payments

Elon Musk confirmed at a recent press conference that Tesla will soon enable Dogecoin payments, saying that DOGE will soon become one of the official payment methods for purchasing Tesla. However, he did not specify when this payment method is expected to be enabled.

The billionaire publicly voiced his support for Dogecoin during a speech at the "We Are Giga" event in Texas, speaking on stage in front of hundreds of people and calling for "Dogecoin to the moon" - to cheers from the crowd.

He called DOGE “the cryptocurrency for the average person” and supports this type of meme currency that is valued by the average person.

“When will you be able to buy a Tesla with Dogecoin?” one attendee asked Musk. “We’ll enable that at some point,” the entrepreneur said. He added: “A lot of people don’t know why I support Dogecoin. When I walk around the Tesla factory, a lot of regular people say ‘Hey, can you support DOGE’? Even at SpaceX, regular employees working in the factory say ‘Please support DOGE’.”

“I was like, you know what, DOGE is the cryptocurrency for the regular people. I’m going to support it. A lot of rich people support Bitcoin, but I’m going to support Dogecoin. Dogecoin is for you guys, and I’m going to support it,” he told the cheering crowd.

In conclusion, Dogecoin may soon become an official payment method for buying Tesla cars in the future. Musk emphasized his support for DOGE and his belief in the prospects of the meme cryptocurrency. The billionaire entrepreneur ended his speech by saying: "Dogecoin goes to the moon."
