Elon Musk comments catalyze DOGE gains

During a session at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, the CEO responded to an audience member’s question about when it will be possible to buy Tesla with Dogecoin. “At some point I think we should enable that,” Musk said, fueling hopes of the meme coin’s acceptance as a payment method at Tesla.

The Dogefather’s advocacy and acceptance of the largest meme coin is not new. Musk has previously made remarks on Dogecoin, calling the asset “people’s crypto” and endorsing DOGE on various occasions since 2021.

The comments have likely catalyzed gains in DOGE price on Thursday. The broader crypto market benefited from the positive sentiment and Bitcoin’s new all-time high at $73,777 on Thursday, further supporting DOGE gains.

DOGE price climbed 8.4% on the daily timeframe.

Other Musk-related tokenssuch as GROK and OPTI noted 0.5% and 2.4% gains on the day.
