Today, Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and an outspoken Dogecoin enthusiast, shared a humorous DOGE meme on his X account, stirring reactions across the crypto world. Musk’s playful nod to Dogecoin was met with excitement by Dogecoin fans, while Bitcoin supporters used the moment to champion BTC over DOGE.
Musk’s Playful DOGE Post on X
Musk posted a recent photo of himself at a public event, striking a powerlifter-style pose with both arms raised. He paired this image with a meme of Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu mascot, mimicking the same victorious stance but with cartoonish, exaggerated muscles. This playful, lighthearted post quickly gained traction on X, drawing in Dogecoin fans and meme lovers alike.
Mixed Reactions from DOGE and BTC Communities
Crypto analyst @Nebraskangooner responded to the post, raising the question of why Dogecoin’s price didn’t spike following Musk’s tweet, as it often has in the past. In reality, DOGE saw a near 2% dip in value, trading at around $0.14236 shortly after the post went live, which surprised some fans who anticipated a “Musk effect” on the meme coin’s price.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin supporters joined the conversation, with user @TheBTCTherapist—who has over 140,000 followers—commenting, “Bitcoin > Doge,” sparking a friendly rivalry between DOGE and BTC fans in the thread. The comments became a mix of playful banter and debates, as Bitcoin advocates took the chance to highlight BTC’s long-term value compared to Dogecoin, a meme coin largely driven by community enthusiasm and Musk’s occasional support.
