One of the most prominent voices showing support for meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) over the years was Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk.

Musk’s first mention of Dogecoin came in 2019 and many more references appeared in 2020 and 2021.

Here’s a look at the performance of the cryptocurrency after one of Musk’s most famous Dogecoin-related tweets.

What Happened: Musk’s history with Dogecoin on Twitter dates back to April 2, 2019. Musk replied to a tweet by saying, “Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency. It’s pretty cool.”

The response came to a poll that saw Musk the winner of the title of CEO of Dogecoin.

Musk’s first tweet about Dogecoin that wasn’t a reply came on July 17, 2020, when Musk shared a meme of Dogecoin passing the global financial system saying, “It’s inevitable.”

While Musk tweeted multiple times about Dogecoin in 2020, one of the more famous mentions was on Dec. 20, 2020, when Musk tweeted “One Word: Doge.” The tweet had over 208,000 likes and more than 31,000 retweets.
