Elon Musk, the Chief Executive Officer of the electric car manufacturing company Tesla, has revealed that the company will make some of its merch buyable with Dogecoin (DOGE).
Musk made this revelation in a now-viral tweet on 14th December 2021. Notably, Musk has been a strong supporter of Dogecoin (DOGE), a meme coin that has grown beyond expectation, thanks to his unwavering support. The Tesla CEO who was recently named the person of the year by Times Magazine said the company would “see how it goes.”

Elon Musk noted:
“Fundamentally, Bitcoin is not a good substitute for transactional currency. Even though it was created as a silly joke, Dogecoin is better suited for transactions. The total transactional flow that you can do with Dogecoin per day has a much higher potential than Bitcoin.”
This announcement has been long-awaited as Dogecoin (DOGE) fans looked forward to when the coin’s lead supporter would accept it as payment in one of his companies.
Previously, Tesla had accepted BTC as payment for its cars. However, it later withdrew its support as Elon Musk expressed concerns about the effect of Bitcoin mining on the environment.
