After the post, Dogecoin price increased by around 8% reaching $0.06. Currently, the coin trades at $0.05. It is the tenth largest crypto with a market cap of over $7.6 billion.
Musk restated his Dogecoin support regardless of a recent suit filoed by investors who accused the businessman of promoting DOGE, and operating a pyramid scheme.
The billionaire has supported DOGE since 2019 when he tweeted Dogecoin might be his favorite cryptocurrency. Since then, he continued mentioning the coin in his posts. Each time, the interest in DOGE increased and its price grew. In Jan. this year, Tesla announced accepting DOGE for some merch.
