Elon Musk’s backing of Dogecoin needs no explanation. At the event in which Musk was named the TIME’s 2021 Person of the Year, Elon Musk explained why Dogecoin was better, in his opinion, than pioneer cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.
Weeks after, Musk announced that his electric car company, Tesla, would begin accepting Dogecoin for the purchase of merchandise. Now, albeit much more subtly, Musk may have hinted that another of his companies will soon accept DOGE.
