Benzinga - During a visit to the Berlin gigafactory, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX, hinted that Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) could eventually be accepted as payment for buying Tesla vehicles.
What Happened: Musk was responding to questions at an employee-packed venue when he said, “Well, you know, at some point, I think we should enable that. You can buy Tesla Merch with DOGE, which is cool.”
He then quipped with his signature phrase for the cryptocurrency, “Dogecoin to the moon.”
The video was first posted by a Twitter user @dogeofficialceo. Benzinga could not independently verify the authenticity of the video. Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
