The tech world is now well aware of the tumultuous relationship that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has with cryptocurrency. In the latest development, Musk said that Tesla might utilize dogecoin to acquire various things ranging from USD 50 to USD 1900.
Tesla would, as of now, accept dogecoin as payment for things; however, this method is still in its trial period. Musk again took to Twitter to announce the news. His tweet reads, “Tesla will make certain items purchasable with Doge and see how it works.”
