Elon Says I Can Pay Using Doge - Charging Stations Only? Or Moar?
Peter Saddington discusses Elon Musk's announcement that Tesla will accept Dogecoin as payment at its charging stations and potentially at a planned futuristic diner and drive-in theater in Hollywood. He humorously explores the implications of this decision, especially for those who believe he holds a significant Dogecoin wallet. Saddington questions whether this move will finally entice him to purchase a Tesla, despite his reservations about the cars themselves. The discussion highlights Musk's past actions regarding Dogecoin, including enabling purchases of select Tesla merchandise with the meme coin, which led to a price surge. Saddington also references Musk's stated support for Dogecoin as "the people's crypto," resonating with Tesla and SpaceX employees. Saddington concludes by pondering if Musk is genuinely supportive of Dogecoin or simply engaging in a large-scale troll, while humorously suggesting a future conversation with Musk to get to the truth of his intentions.
