In his most recent tweet, Elon Musk stood up for the Dogecoin community and called out Binance centralized exchange CEO Changpeng Zhao, asking about the Doge situation.
Binance withdrawal issues
Musk's tweet is most likely tied to the most recent problems that Doge users had with Binance that limited the withdrawal of the meme-based cryptocurrency, demanding a refund of some of the funds.
Hey @cz_binance, what’s going on with your Doge customers? Sounds shady.

The issue was most likely tied to the fact that some transactions on the exchange happened due to the update of the Dogecoin core, which led to some transactions being stuck in the blockchain.
The Dogecoin community is still facing problems with withdrawals on the exchange after more than a week of this problem.
Musk's Dogecoin "wisdom"
Elon Musk is a famous Dogecoin supporter who has expressed his thoughts and feelings toward the coin's future. Previously, he supported a user who suggested the Dogecoin community withdraw their crypto from lending programs, not use exchanges as wallets and hold funds only in private wallets.
