Continuing to prove his supremacy as the “Dogefather,” Elon Musk‘s latest tweet regarding Dogecoin once again caused the price of the cryptocurrency to soar.

It is also interesting to note that Elon Musk’s tweet comes shortly after he announced that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin as payment for vehicle purchases.
