Dogecoin plummets after Musk’s cameo on SNL
Dogecoin prices fall after Elon Musk plugs the meme crypto during SNL appearance
Dogecoin stocks fell after Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared on SNL.
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 Space-X CEO said the cryptocurrency 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.
What is Dogecoin?
Dogecoin is Musk’s self-proclaimed favourite cryptocurrency. It was first launched in 2013 as a joke but has recently seen a surge in popularity following the tech mogul’s endorsement.
IBM’s Billy Markus and Adobe’s Jackson Palmer launched the crypto as a satirical critique of the cryptocurrency frenzy in 2013.
Its value has soared over 14,000% this year alone, up from $0.00468 on December 31. This makes it the fourth-largest crypto, after other huge players like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Musk said:
“Lately, prices have been soaring for cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum and especially Dogecoin. Dogecoin actually started as a joke based on an internet meme, but now it’s taken over in a very real way.”
Robinhood crashes during Musk’s appearance
The stock trading app Robinhood said they were experiencing issues with crypto-trading during Musk’s appearance.
Robinhood told Insider that the platform’s crypto-trading was “back up and running” about 30 minutes after it first reported difficulties.
Insider says they declined to comment on whether the issues were related to Musk’s appearance.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.
Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.
Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.
AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
