The magazine has a good dog on the cover and it seems to be written for dogs. This seemed to be an allusion to the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. Many took the call to buy as much stock as they could, and this caused the value to shoot up.Watch Dogecoin skyrocket pic.twitter.com/wJztMTnMB3— Mohamed Enieb (@its_menieb) January 28, 2021Retweet if you will become a Dogecoin millionaire 🤑 pic.twitter.com/HQE3T3m2xV— Dogecoin Millionaire 🐕 (@nongmokiwi) January 28, 2021Dogecoin was launched as a joke to reference the meme Doge. Today, it went up 420.29%. Elon musk has caused a surge in Doge before, but this surpasses the 20% he brought it up by last time. On that occasion, he did it by tweeting "One word: Doge."Day 1 of tweeting this until @elonmusk says one word... $Doge 😎#dogecoin #dogearmy pic.twitter.com/zpoogsJUit— Joe Marullo (@JoeTheAutoPro) January 27, 2021 pic.twitter.com/my0NrqyHHK— hashed.aesthetics (@simoleotweet) January 29, 2021Elon Musk must really believe in this cryptocurrency to support it so often.

The two have competing companies, SpaceX and Blue Origin. They even tweet at each other as if they don't like each other.The fact that Elon stays culturally relevant isn't surprising. Down to earth is not something people say about many rich people but Elon tweets and speaks in a way that makes people relate to him. Jeff Bezos could say a stock's name or a cryptocurrency and that would go up too, but not at the level that Elon commands.Related: GameStop stock prices skyrocket after a single tweet from Elon Musk: "Gamestonk"I’m going to let you in on a secret: Elon is not concerned with whether or not you are disappointed by him— FreeLxJames ~ Scrub (@CLxJames) October 29, 2020Tesla should make 🔥 catgirl robots?— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 29, 2020Elon is an icon for the everyday Redditor and internet user.
