Elon Musk Returns to Twitter With a Dogecoin Shill Tweet, Dogecoin Soars by 53%

Musk is a big-time meme guy and it was only fair that the crypto meme community declared him the unofficial CEO of dogecoin.
Musk recently made headlines after he changed his Twitter bio to Bitcoin and later on the Clubhouse podcast revealed that it was inevitable since he has known about bitcoin since 2013 and believes it is the financial future. During the same interview, he also talked about his liking for dogecoin, the meme cryptocurrency, and a digital token Musk has shilled for quite some time now.
Would Musk Tweet Pump Doge Again?
Dogecoin pumped nearly 800% during the recent Reddit frenzy driven price pump of GME, AMC, and Silver; as Robinhood halted its trade as well along with the GameStop and AMC. The massive pump saw many celebrities and TikTok traders invest hefty capital into the meme coin, however, Doge price crashed soon after the 800% pump leaving many with significant losses.
The Twitted Bio change by Musk sent Bitcoin price up by nearly 20% within 45 minutes that led to a new term coined by the crypto community called ‘Elon Pump’ and many wanted the serial entrepreneur to tweet about Doge at that time. Now that Musk has finally tweeted about Doge, it reflected almost immediately in its price.
The last pump sent Doge to near $0.08 and its market cap in the top 7 cryptocurrency for a brief period. Many expect the meme currency to repeat its previous pump in the wake of the Elon pump. Musk even acknowledged the recent pump and said that dogecoin is the people’s crypto
