As soon as this news was released, the price of DOGE instantly rose by over 8%, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeded 4.5 billion US dollars, setting a new high for this year! Musk himself humorously wrote in his reply: "Doge has always been one of my favorite cryptocurrencies, which represents the happiness and freedom of the Internet.

That year, he repeatedly tweeted about "Doge" on X, directly pushing this originally just meme currency onto the mainstream stage. DOGE is less than 0.01 US dollars and once soared to a high of 0.73 US dollars, earning Musk the nickname of "the father of Doge". Although the price fluctuated greatly, he never gave up his support and even made Tesla accept DOGE to purchase peripherals. Cybertruck also considered settling with DOGE. The practical significance of Tesla's landing this time is extraordinary. Firstly, it provides DOGE with a realistic payment scenario rather than just speculation. Tesla's global delivery volume has exceeded 2 million vehicles by 2025, and if Doge payments account for only 5%, it will bring huge demand. Secondly, this further consolidates Musk's "crypto friendly" image, complementing his identity as a maximized holder of Bitcoin. Industry analysis suggests that this move may stimulate more traditional car companies to follow suit and accelerate the mainstream process of cryptocurrency. The DOGE community is even more excited.

Rumors suggest that xAI and Dogecoin Foundation are exploring the application of AI+blockchain integration; Starlink may use Doge to settle satellite services in remote areas; Even Tesla Robotaxi's future ride hailing fees are expected to support DOGE. Every move by Musk is reshaping the narrative of the crypto world. For ordinary investors, this is a signal that when tech giants truly integrate meme coins into the real economy, DOGE's long-term value will be repriced. At present, DOGE's market value is about 25 billion US dollars, and there is still room for improvement from historical highs, but the key lies in ecological implementation rather than pure speculation.
