Lots of People Elon Musk Talks to at Spacex and Tesla Own Dogecoin<\/h2>\n

Tesla and Spacex CEO Elon Musk revealed Sunday the real reason he began supporting dogecoin. He noted that many people he talks to at both companies own the meme cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Responding to a tweet by dogecoin holder Glauber Contessoto<\/a>, who said the appeal for DOGE is real, referencing a survey that found about a third of U.S. crypto holders own the meme cryptocurrency, Musk wrote:<\/p>\n

Lots of people I talked to on the production lines at Tesla or building rockets at Spacex own Doge. They aren\u2019t financial experts or Silicon Valley technologists. That\u2019s why I decided to support Doge \u2014 it felt like the people\u2019s crypto.<\/p>\n

The Doge community welcomes Musk\u2019s comment and support. \u201cMost of us don\u2019t come from privileged backgrounds and honestly can\u2019t relate to the experts in Silicon Valley,\u201d Contessoto responded. \u201cWe just want to believe in a crypto that represents us all. Dogecoin is the little guy personified in crypto which is why we love it. We appreciate your support, Elon.\u201d<\/p>\n

A survey<\/a> by price comparison portal Finder shows that more people in the U.S. own dogecoin than in any other country. The survey states:<\/p>\n

Dogecoin sees its highest adoption in the United States with 30.6% of crypto owners saying they own dogecoin. This is 1.6 times the global average adoption rate of 19.2%.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the price of dogecoin is up 11.31% over the past week, with DOGE sitting at $0.2664 based on data from Bitcoin.com Markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Musk previously said he personally owns three cryptocurrencies: bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin. On Sunday, he tweeted several important dogecoin improvements<\/a> and confirmed that he does not own any shiba inu tokens. In August, the Tesla boss agreed with the Shark Tank star Mark Cuban that dogecoin is the \u201cstrongest<\/a>\u201d crypto for payments.<\/p>\n
