Only yesterday, Musk asked his Twitter followers about allowing Dogecoin for Tesla purchases. Doge isn't the same as Bitcoin, but it's similar enough. Musk has been tweeting and talking about Dogecoin for several weeks, including on last week's Saturday Night Live. In January, Musk changed his Twitter bio to #bitcoin.
