Last year, a tweet from the head of Tesla and SpaceX about the prospects for using Dogecoin technology as the global financial system led to a 17% growth in the cryptocurrency.
In December, Musk's account posted a series of tweets about bitcoin that surprised the community, and a new post about DOGE, which bumped up the coin's price again. In the account header, Musk was named the former CEO of Dogecoin.
