Elon Musk wants users of Twitter’s premium subscription service to have the option to pay the monthly fee using dogecoin. Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX chief who recently bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter, has floated possible improvements to the social media platform using his own account. One of Musk’s trial balloons is to make Twitter Blue, the platform’s first subscription service, ad-free. “Maybe even an option to pay in Doge?” Musk, who is a fan of the meme cryptocurrency, tweeted. Musk has repeatedly touted Dogecoin in recent months, once referring to himself as “The Dogefather” and infamously referencing the meme token during his appearance on “Saturday Night Live” last year. Dogecoin, the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, was started as a joke in 2013 as a way to make fun of the hype around bitcoin. The digital currency features the face of the Shiba Inu dog from the viral “Doge” meme as its logo and namesake. Now the quirky digital token has exploded into the center of the trillion-dollar crypto market.
