‘Do you want Tesla to accept Doge?’ Musk asks Twitter users

Billionaire Elon Musk and cryptocurrency aficionado on Tuesday asked his 54 million followers on Twitter “Do you want Tesla to accept Doge?,” referring to a digital currency worth roughly 48 cents with no real-world use.

The question, in the form of a Twitter poll, comes days after he called dogecoin a “hustle,” sending the meme-inspired cryptocurrency’s price reeling after a 700% rally in a month.

A proponent of digital currencies, the Tesla Inc chief executive made the comment as a guest host on the “Saturday Night Live” TV show this past weekend.

Musk is one of the world’s richest people and owner of several futuristic companies, including SpaceX and Neuralink.
