Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, recently stirred excitement among cryptocurrency enthusiasts with a post on X regarding the Cybertruck’s performance capabilities. Responding to a video showing the Cybertruck outperforming a Lamborghini in a street race, Musk humorously claimed that the Cybertruck could beat a Porsche 911 while towing another Porsche 911.
Amid the buzz generated by Musk’s tweet, XRPcryptowolf (@XRPcryptowolf), a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community on X, responded to Musk, stating, “I’ll buy a Cybertruck when Tesla accepts XRP and BTC.”
XRPcryptowolf’s statement reflects the desire in the crypto industry for more support from Musk, especially for XRP. Musk’s love for Dogecoin is well documented, but the community hopes he will show some attention to other digital assets, as they could benefit significantly just like Dogecoin has.

Will Tesla Accept XRP and BTC?
Tesla’s relationship with cryptocurrencies has evolved significantly over the past few years. The company made headlines when it announced the acceptance of Bitcoin for vehicle purchases in early 2021.
However, this decision was later reversed due to environmental concerns related to Bitcoin mining. Despite this, Tesla has continued to engage with the cryptocurrency market, most notably by accepting Dogecoin for certain payments on the Tesla shop.
Furthermore, Musk hinted in March 2024 that Tesla would soon start accepting Dogecoin for vehicle purchases. This drew numerous responses from XRP enthusiasts asking Musk to add XRP to the list.

The XRP community has been vocal in its appeals to Musk to accept XRP as a payment option, as XRP is known for its fast transaction speeds and lower energy consumption compared to Bitcoin.
Many experts see it as an ideal candidate for mainstream adoption, and the community has also called for Musk to integrate the digital asset into X’s upcoming payment system.
Despite these appeals, Musk has not yet addressed the possibility of accepting XRP. His engagement with Dogecoin, including the integration into Tesla’s payment system, demonstrates his openness to cryptocurrencies. However, the exclusion of XRP thus far has left its community seeking a clearer stance from Musk.
The potential for cryptocurrencies like XRP and BTC to be used in purchasing such vehicles aligns with the growing intersection of digital assets and modern technology. Increased utility would drive adoption and potentially help the prices of these digital assets climb.
Musk’s attention helped Dogecoin become as big as it is today, and with many prominent figures calling for him to adopt XRP, the community might get the reply they want soon.
