The price of Dogecoin (DOGE), the cryptocurrency Musk often promotes on social media, increased nearly 14% Almost immediately after it was announced that Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion.
Several days after the announcement was made Dogecoin’s price continued to rise – up to 26% – peaking at $0.1675. But Dogecoin wasn’t the only crypto to see a spike in its price after Twitter accepted Musk’s bid to buy the company. Mushe (XMU) also saw a rise in its price. Mushe’s price has grown 44% over the past seven days as the popularity of the token continues to grow in the presale. Another community-centric crypto, Dogelon Mars (ELON) also saw an initial spike of over 10% before settling down to see a modest rise of 0.64% the day after the announcement. As of the time of writing, the prices have settled and returned to their normal levels, but Mushe has remained strong and held its price.
Musk’s “midas touch” has heavily benefited community-centric cryptocurrencies. Thanks to Musk’s frequent mentions of Dogecoin, he single-handedly helped push the coin to “the moon” as it reached a record high of $0.73 last year. In a tweet from April 2021, Musk called himself the “Dogefather” a play on his fondness for cryptocurrency. Musk’s preference for the coin is summed up in five words from his February 2021 tweet in which he wrote, “Dogecoin is the people’s crypto.” The price increases of Dogecoin align almost perfectly with Musk’s tweets. After tweeting that Tesla would start accepting Dogecoin as payment for branded products, the price of the coin increased by 33% according to CoinGecko.
Musk is one of the biggest buyers of crypto, with Tesla investing about $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency in 2021. Musk’s influence in the crypto space is heavily felt. Currently, Dogecoin is the only digital currency Tesla accepts. The items eligible for purchase with Dogecoins include Tesla-branded belt buckles and children’s all-terrain vehicles.
