Snowden’s remarks come after the cryptocurrency has witnessed record surges in its value for the past few weeks. Sharing a tweet, Snowden warned the users against investing in the /CLONE of dog money’ as he wrote-
I say this with love: if you got talked into exchanging your hard-earned savings for some new dog money because a meme said you’d get rich, please carefully consider your odds of outsmarting a market that sold to you its stake in *not even dog money but a CLONE of dog money*.

The techie added another tweet following the first one where he wrote, “Also if you are mad at this tweet you probably need to reduce your position size”. Snowden’s comments about the ‘dog money’ were targeted to Shiba Inu that has skyrocketed in terms of value, similar to its counterpart Dogecoin, as he believes that the platform would soon cause loss to the investors. While all this was happening, billionaire and crypto enthusiast Elon Musk also chimed in the discussion and was apparently pretty amused with Snowden’s views and the latter’s exchange with a journalist on the micro-blogging site.
A Twitter user had shared the screenshots of Snowden’s tweet to which Musk replied with a laughing emoji. Musk is known as a staunch crypto supporter and has proven to be pretty manipulative over the price of cryptocurrencies.
The meme coin that was launched just last year, surged over 72.62% last week, taking its value from $0.004844 to $0.00008456. Although the number looks small, the digital currency scaled its way up to become the 11th largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $32 billion. The record-breaking high of the token came after a Change.org petition urging crypto trading platform Robinhood to list Shiba Inu rose in popularity. The petition started by one Tristan Luke managed to receive over three lakh signatures within hours of its listing and keeps growing in popularity. Founded by an anonymous person going by the name Ryoshi, the coin has been termed as the ‘Dogecoin killer’ by several investors.
When it comes to space exploration, the fascination among the world’s richest men for everything extra-terrestrial is unparalleled. Now, as someone pointed out that Elon Musk’s net worth has increased exponentially, the SpaceX CEO acknowledged it and expressed his wish to continue with his mission involving the Red Planet. Before long, his remark garnered a lot of attention and left netizens divided online.
Recently, popular crypto YouTuber Matt Wallace tweeted that Musk is now richer than Bill Gates and Warren Buffett combined, with a net worth equal to 861 billion Dogecoin. In reply, the billionaire entrepreneur wrote: “Hopefully enough to extend life to Mars”.
This comes after the Tesla CEO, in September, became the third person ever to amass a fortune worth $200 billion, according to Forbes, surpassing Amazon founder and rival billionaire Jeff Bezos.
Hopefully enough to extend life to Mars
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 16, 2021
Soon, many joined Wallace and Musk to share memes and jokes wondering if Dogecoin would be the currency on the Red Planet, while others discussed the challenges that lay ahead for Musk’s dream to turn into reality.
Not everyone, though, was thrilled about the idea of leaving Earth and overlooking its problems, wondering why such extensive funds are not being used to resolve problems on the planet that we currently inhabit.
The statement comes amid growing criticism against billionaires for exploring space as a recreational activity when many, including Prince Charles and Bill Gates, have insisted that “we have a lot to do here on Earth”. Several netizens too felt the same after seeing Musk’s response.
Here’s how they reacted to the SpaceX founder’s tweet:
Elon loves Dogecoin and Dogecoin loves Elon

It’s been now almost half a century since humans were last on the moon. That’s too long, we need to get back there and have a permanent base on the moon —again, like a big permanently occupied base on the moon. And then build a city on Mars to become a spacefaring civilization. pic.twitter.com/TKWRLc54By

“We gotta be excited about the future. We gotta do things that make us want to LIVE.” -Elon Musk
One day humanity will walk on Mars! I only hope I am alive to see it.
To Mars and beyond!

Harsh criticism of someone who put nearly their entire fortune on the line to create the electric car revolution, continues to push the limits of battery technology for use in all industries around the globe, and who has put up $100m in pursuit of technology to remove carbon

Why not just buy how much as you can of the Amazon forest, work with indigenous to regenerate and preserve it too? I would do that if I had thatkind of means. Simpler than Mars and immediate benefits.

If we can build an atmosphere on Mars. Why can’t we repair the one on earth?

Why don’t we make life here on earth, the place where God placed us, better.

Why don’t you spend some money on large water purification systems or air filtration systems for inner cities instead of trying to colonize a barren dangerous planet? I get it it’s cool but is it really necessary? Or even Fusion for never-ending energy. Just a thought.

Elon if you take a round of earth you will see people in pain and suffering. Make this earth place to live rather then disturbing Aliens.
