“Tesla merch buyable with Dogecoin,” Musk tweeted.
His mid-December tweet saying such use of dogecoin will be allowed on a test basis sent the cryptocurrency up more than 20%.
Dogecoin, popular among retail investors, raced up 18% to above $0.20 after Friday’s tweet.
Musk’s tweets on the cryptocurrency, including the one where he called it the “people’s crypto,” buoyed the meme coin and caused it to soar roughly 4,000% in 2021.
