The world\u2019s richest man, Elon Musk<\/a>, has hinted that Dogecoin (DOGE)<\/a> could return as a payment method when buying Tesla merchandise. This follows his recent win<\/a> in a class action lawsuit that accused him of manipulating the price of the foremost meme coin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk Suggests Tesla Could Soon Begin Accepting Dogecoin Again<\/h2>\n

Musk suggested in an X (formerly Twitter) post<\/a> that Tesla, the automotive company that he co-founded, could soon begin accepting Dogecoin again. Musk replied \u2018Me\u2019 to an X post<\/a> by Sir Doge, a prominent member of the DOGE community<\/a>, in which he asked who else wanted Tesla to bring back Dogecoin as a payment option for merchandize payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s affirmation that he would like Dogecoin to return as a payment option for Tesla merchandize suggests that it could happen soon enough since he is in an excellent position to make it happen. Besides, Musk had earlier stated<\/a> that Dogecoin would eventually become a payment method for buying Tesla cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s fondness for Dogecoin also means that this is something that the world\u2019s richest man will be actively looking to make happen. He recently reaffirmed<\/a> his likeness for the foremost meme coin, stating that he has a \u201csoft spot\u201d for Dogecoin while suggesting that he wasn\u2019t inclined to other crypto tokens.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Musk\u2019s recent legal victory could motivate him to make this move and return Dogecoin as a payment method for Tesla products. A federal judge cleared<\/a> the world\u2019s richest man and the automotive company of wrongdoing in a lawsuit that accused them of manipulating Dogecoin\u2019s price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lawsuit could have been why Tesla initially removed Dogecoin<\/a> as a payment method. With the legal battle out of the way, the company can reintroduce Dogecoin as a payment option for buying merchandise in its store. Such a move will undoubtedly be a bullish development for the foremost meme coin and could increase its price as Dogecoin gains more utility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk Continues To Support DOGE<\/h2>\n

In another X post<\/a>, Musk agreed with Sir Doge when he highlighted how Dogecoin<\/a> fixes a problem that the world\u2019s richest man and his companies are currently dealing with. After banning the X platform in the country, Musk revealed<\/a> that the Brazilian government<\/a> had also frozen Starlink\u2019s bank accounts despite both companies operating separately.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following this revelation, Sir Doge said, \u201cDogecoin fixes this,\u201d since the meme coin is decentralized and no government can easily access anyone\u2019s funds. In response, Musk stated that he had made a \u201cgood point.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s support for Dogecoin is also the reason why members of the DOGE community continue to speculate<\/a> that the meme coin will be added as a payment method when the social media platform launches its payment service<\/a> later this year.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
