Tesla CEO Elon Musk remains the self-acclaimed king of memes. Last night he did it again, sending out pictures of Web1, Web2 and Web3. The first pic showed himself next to Peter Thiel in their PayPal days, the second Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook as portrayed in the move The Social Network and the third Vitalik Buterin, founder of cryptocoin Ethereum, in a bear suit. Funny.

Supercharge And Pay In Doge

Musk also continued to combine Dogecoin with his electric vehicles company Tesla. Last week he revealed how Tesla’s future restaurant and drive-in cinema in Hollywood would accept Dogecoin payments.

During his Time endorsement interview, in which he accepted the 2021 Man of the Year award, Musk had already explained why he preferred Dogecoin over any other cryptocoin.

The transaction value of Bitcoin is low and the cost per transaction is high. At least at a space level, it is suitable as a store of value. But fundamentally, Bitcoin is not a good substitute for transactional currency

He said.

Since then, Musk has endorsed Dogecoin at every possible moment, allowing Tesla customers to buy and pay merchandise with the memecoin, and soon they’ll also be able to pay for the supercharge of their cars in the digital currency.

As explained in Business Standard this weekend, the Santa Monica Supercharger will officially accept Dogecoin as payment, making it the first Supercharger in Tesla’s network to accept the crypto as a payment method.

Will Elon Musk’s efforts to promote Dogecoin ever get the coin above the illustrious $1 level of which it dreams? The billionaire is really trying to put some real use into the Billy Markus crypto-prank but whether that ever happens remains to be seen. Much Wow.
