During a recent conversation with ARK Invest, Elon Musk reflected on the reasoning behind his long-standing support for Dogecoin, revisiting comments that once helped transform the meme token into a global crypto phenomenon.
Musk originally explained his view during an ARK Invest program on July 22, 2021, when he argued that “the most entertaining outcome is the most likely,” suggesting it would be both ironic and amusing if a cryptocurrency originally created as a joke eventually became a dominant digital asset.
