The value of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin has climbed significantly following a tweet this week from billionaire Elon Musk.
Musk simply tweeted, “The Dogefather SNL May 8.”
The tweet was both a reference to his frequent tweets about Dogecoin, and his planned appearance on “Saturday Night Live.”
Within 24 hours, Dogecoin’s price soared 20% to 32 cents, CNBC reported. Dogecoin started as a joke in 2013. It is now the sixth-largest digital coin with a total market value of almost $42 billion, according to CNBC.
