Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has revealed that Dogecoin (DOGE), the leading meme coin, will be accepted as a form of payment for one of his upcoming projects. This announcement has sparked excitement within the Dogecoin community, as it signifies a new use case for the cryptocurrency.
The project in question is Tesla’s supercharging station in Hollywood, which is currently under construction and expected to launch this year. The news was brought to light by DogeMemeGirl, a member of the Dogecoin community, who highlighted the significance of this development for DOGE. The charging station will not only serve as a supercharging station but will also feature a futuristic diner and drive-in theater, potentially expanding DOGE’s utility.
Musk confirmed in a 2022 post on the X platform that customers will be able to pay with DOGE when the supercharging station launches. This strategic move could introduce DOGE to some of Hollywood’s finest and potentially boost its price, which has remained relatively stable for some time.
While Musk’s fondness for DOGE has been evident in his posts on the X platform, this move demonstrates a deeper interest in the meme coin. His biography, released last year, hinted at DOGE becoming a crucial part of his long-term plan to create an ‘everything app’ that will also serve as a payments platform. The X platform, owned by Musk, has also hinted that its payment service could go live this year.
This development has led to speculation that Dogecoin payments could be integrated into the X platform. If this happens, it would be a significant milestone for DOGE and its community, and would further solidify Musk’s status as the “Dogefather,” a title he has previously bestowed upon himself. Musk recently reaffirmed his affection for DOGE, revealing that he still owns a substantial amount of the cryptocurrency.
