Other notable figures in the crypto community such as Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and cybersecurity expert turned crypto enthusiast John McAfee have mentioned Dogecoin in recent days. Vitalic took to Twitter, stating he is “Very pro-Dogecoin.”

Musk takes the cake though, as the Tesla founder went as far as changing his Twitter bio to CEO of Dogecoin back in April.
