Tesla CEO Musk said when hosting the "Saturday Night Live" program that Dogecoin, which started from the Internet meme craze, is the "future of currency", just like the dollar bill, and will "dominate the world".
Business Insider and CNN reported that Musk also praised Dogecoin when hosting the show. Not long after, he said that the Mother's Day gift he gave his mother was Dogecoin.
At that time, Musk's mother was on the same stage with Musk. She said, "I'm excited to look forward to my Mother's Day gift. I hope it won't be Dogecoin." Musk replied with a smile: "Yes, it's Dogecoin."
Musk replied by a guest when asked "what is Dogecoin": "This is the future of currency, a financial tool that will dominate the world and be unscrupulous." He also said, Dogecoin is as real as US dollar bills. When the guest asked again, Musk said, "Can I tell you that this (Dogcoin) is a cryptocurrency that you can use to trade traditional currencies." The guest responded, "Oh, so is this a means of making money?" Musk joked, "Yes, this is a means of making money."
