Is Musk Unhappy with DOGE’s market response?

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk who is a radical Dogecoin supporter, could break the internet if adding Shiba Inu to Tesla turns out to be true. Earlier today, CoinGape had reported Musk’s latest tweet supporting his favorite DOGE yet again by announcing that tuition fees for his university in Texas known as the Texas Institute of Technology & Science, will be accepted in Dogecoin, further announcing that people with a dog will get special discounts. However, regardless of Musk’s tweet, the market did not come through for DOGE as the coin only experienced the slightest hike. Does this mean that Musk is now gravitating towards Shiba Inu after witnessing DOGE’s unresponsiveness?

Snowden’s attack on meme coins and deep-pocketed manipulators

Musk who called Dogecoin as “people’s crypto” could now be reaching out to Shiba Inu, or as the legendry whistle-blower, Edward Snowden would call it, “CLONE of dog money.”. Snowden recently tweeted against the Shiba Inu frenzy, further adding Dogecoin to the roast. He referred to Dogecoin as “dog money”, and Shiba Inu as “CLONE of dog money”, arguing that he is highly doubtful about the “CLONE” bringing any fortune to its community of investors. Furthermore, in a separate tweet, Snowden expressed that people could buy “any garbage they want,”, however, he added that it’s a shame to see these investors get “emotionally manipulated into mortgaging the farm on a meme’s worth of understanding.”
