Musk first started endorsing DOGE after a few employees from the Tesla Gigafactory urged the CEO to support Dogecoin as an official mode of payment. A similar request was made to him at SpaceX by visitors demanding support for Dogecoin, which ultimately was accepted as he said:Doge is people’s crypto, so I will support it.
