SpaceX says they’ll send Dogecoin to the moon in the first quarter of next year
Elon Musk says SpaceX will accept the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Dogecoin as payment.
Geo-metric Energy Corporation announced “DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon” over the weekend.
However, the company is yet to disclose the mission’s financial value.
Dogecoin plummets after Musk’s SNL gig
This comes after falling Dogecoin prices following Musk’s recent SNL appearance.
The plummet came soon after Musk mentioned the meme crypto, with stocks dropping by nearly 30% to $0.5 from around $0.7.
The price then rebounded from its low to around $0.57 after SNL finished.
Dogefather Musk
During his appearance, the SpaceX CEO said Dogecoin would “take over the world,” calling himself the “Dogefather.”
This comes after prices soared amid anticipation of Musk’s much-anticipated cameo during the past week.
Musk also used his SNL gig to open up about having ‘Asperger’s’.
“I’m actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger’s [syndrome] to host SNL. Or at least the first to admit it,” he said.
