Elon Musk supports DOGE with new tweet

Elon Musk, known for his love of DOGE and memes, recently recreated the famous “Biggus Dickus” gag from Monty Python’s Life of Brian, which was first shown in 1979.

A picture shared by Musk shows two characters from the mentioned movie. One is represented as Musk himself, a Roman legionary, and the other as “the mainstream media,” portrayed as a Roman senator. The legionary chuckles uncontrollably while listening to the senator, symbolizing Musk’s amusement towards DOGE entering the top ten cryptocurrencies. Previously, the media criticized both Bitcoin and its parody version DOGE, but now they discuss it as a legitimate asset, albeit reluctantly.

Following the release of this tweet, Dogecoin experienced a temporary price increase of around 4%. Previously, Musk’s tweets had a more significant and prolonged impact on Dogecoin’s price, going back as far as three or four years ago.
