Elon Musk volvió este viernes a la carga con las criptomonedas al anunciar a través de Twitter que Tesla ha empezado a aceptar, aunque con condiciones, dogecoin para la compra de accesorios del fabricante de automóviles eléctricos de lujo. "Se puede comprar mercadotecnia de Tesla con dogecoin", dijo Musk en su mensaje en la citada red social. El anuncio subió un 15% el valor de dogecoin, una criptomoneda que surgió en 2013 como una broma, que posteriormente perdió parte de sus ganancias y después se estabilizó en alrededor de 0,19 dólares por moneda, con un incremento del 10%.
On December 14, Musk already anticipated that Tesla would accept dogecin as a form of payment for some of the company's products to "see how it goes" with cryptocurrency. Tesla's products that can be purchased from today with dogecin are those of your virtual shop, from clothing to accessories for your vehicles, as well as wireless chargers for mobile or parasols with prices ranging from 50 to almost 2,000 dollars.

But purchases made with dogecoin cannot be returned or cancelled as is the case with more traditional payments. In the past, Musk has taken advantage of Twitter to promote dogecoin, which has always led to temporary increases in the value of cryptocurrency known for its icon, a dog of the Japanese breed Shiba Inu. Dogecin is the second cryptocurrency publicly favored by Musk.
In February 2021, the controversial businessman announced that Tesla would invest $1.5 billion in the purchase of Bitcoin and that he would accept payment in this currency for the purchase of vehicles. The ad boosted the value of the most popular cryptocurrency on the market. Only three months later, in May, Musk backed down and Tesla stopped accepting bitcoin as payment. Musk claimed the high environmental impact of cryptocurrency mining.
