JAKARTA – Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk secretly owns another cryptocurrency besides Bitcoin (BTC), dogecoin (DOGE). Musk insisted he would not be taking a dime on Dogecoin in a Twitter upload when answering netizens about DOGE's holdings.

Some time ago, the "Dogefather" has also tweeted that it is working with Dogecoin Devs to improve transaction efficiency. The tweet was expressed by Musk after announcing Bitcoin could no longer be used for the purchase of Tesla electric cars because BTC mining activities are not environmentally friendly.

Twitter user Dave Lee @heydave7 said he clarified that Elon Musk would not sell his Dogecoin holdings. This was immediately commented on by Tesla's own boss.

"Yes, I haven't and won't sell a dime of Doge," Musk replied.

However, until now it is not known how much Dogecoin belongs to Musk. Some speculate that Musk became dogecoin's "whale", a term that refers to someone who owns the largest cryptocurrency.

According to a Bitcoin News report, Elon Musk could possibly be the owner of a mysterious address wallet that is being talked about because it has 36.7 billion Dogecoins.

Elon Musk often writes Dogecoin in his Twitter tweets. In addition to helping the development of the cryptocurrency meme, he is also rumored to be flying a DOGE-1 rocket to the moon in 2022.

Earlier, he also opened a poll for his followers on Twitter asking "should Tesla accept Dogecoin?". A total of 78.2 percent answered "yes".

It is not yet known whether such cryptocurrency "jokes" will have a bright future or not. Elon Musk and developer DOGE are currently developing the meme cryptocurrency.

If Dogecoin strengthens after development is complete and a number of Musk projects are completed, then this meme cryptocurrency can no longer be referred to as a joke. Until this news is written, at 12:36, Monday 24 May, the price of Dogecoin is at Rp 4,489 as data from CoinGecko.
