Implications for Dogecoin?
Within the Dogecoin community, the outcome of the vote is likely to cause great unrest. As we know, Elon Musk is the biggest supporter of DOGE. His tweets, especially hints that Dogecoin could become a means of payment on Twitter, have given the price a massive boost in recent months.
A Musk resignation could mean Dogecoin loses its most important supporter. In this respect, the question of the role that Elon Musk will play on Twitter in the future seems to be of paramount importance. In the meantime, it’s important to know that Musk is part of the four-member Dogecoin Foundation through a representative, and will therefore likely continue to advocate for the coin even in the future.
The “Sir Doge of the Coin” Twitter account nonetheless sought clarification from the still Twitter CEO. In a tweet, the Dogecoin community member asked if the billionaire would be interested in briefly joining the community in a Twitter space “to answer a few questions, discuss memes, and chat first-hand with the community?” Nothing serious, just fun.

Musk responded in his usual quick manner to the request from the Dogecoin community, saying, “Things are pretty intense right now, but maybe closer to Christmas.”
As Bitcoinist previously reported, Musk had been in the headlines almost daily over the past week. Despite calls for free speech, Twitter’s new CEO suspended the accounts of journalists who allegedly violated a newly introduced anti-doxxing policy.
Shortly after, Musk backtracked after a vote on Twitter revealed a majority in favor of reinstating the accounts immediately. It also announced that it would let users vote on “major policy changes” in the future. “My apologies. This won’t happen again,” Musk wrote on Twitter.
Just yesterday, Twitter drew further criticism with another change in its policies. The company announced that it will ban its users from promoting competing online platforms in the future. The ban applies to links to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, and Truth Social, among others.
At press time, the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) was down 2.23%, trading at $0.773.
