Elon Musk Working to Improve Dogecoin's Efficiency as Coinbase Confirms DOGE Listing
Tesla CEO Elon Musk might have crossed swords with the Bitcoin community, but he’s not abandoning his favorite meme coin.
In a recent tweet, the second richest person on the planet announced that he was working with Dogecoin developers to improve the cryptocurrency’s transaction efficiency.
This comes after Tesla stopped accepting Bitcoin due to its growing CO2 footprint.
Dogecoin added $11.8 billion to its market cap following Musk’s tweet, with its price peaking at $0.52
