Elon Muskβs debut SNL is still going on and in 109 minutes so far he had mentioned doge twice. First, he said he would give Dogecoin to Maye Musk as a Motherβs Day gift. His mom claimed that he couldnβt wait for her present but hoped that it wasnβt the dogecoin, but Musk replied that it was:
Maye Musk: “I canβt wait for my Motherβs Day gift, I just hope itβs not Dogecoin” Elon Musk: “It is.”
His motherβs day gift remark dropped the DOGE price by ~20%. Later in the show, he again mentioned Dogecoin in a more positive way.
He took notice of DOGEβs price action, saying itβs “taking off in a real way.”
It actually started a joke…Now itβs taking off in a real way.
Musk also said that it was “about as real as that dollar,” but also added that it was a “hustle.” Apart from his favorite meme coin, the “Dogefather” also mentioned Ethereum and Bitcoin during his sketch.
The crypto king Grayscaleβs Barry Silbert on the other hand says dogecoin holders should convert their DOGE to BTC. His tweet came just hours before Musk is going to make his much-awaited hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live.”
Dogecoin fans are going really crazy now and it is pretty much seen in the DOGEβs price behavior and social mentions also. With 64,595 Dogecoin social mentions over the last hour, the hourly social volume for dogecoin has hit an all-time high.
