Elon Musk, aka The Dogefather, recently sent the price of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency soaring once again after he tweeted a light-hearted meme, which he claimed bore resemblance to his childhood.
The 49-year old Space X Chief and Tesla CEO certainly seems to be reveling in his role as the global poster boy for Dogecoin, the meme cryptocurrency that has taken the world of finance by storm, despite its fluctuating fortunes.
In the aforementioned tweet, he took a satirical jibe at his undying affinity towards Dogecoin, as he captioned the picture: "Found this pic of me as a child."
In the picture, instead of a younger Elon, a Shiba Inu dog can be seen sheepishly gazing back at viewers amidst 80's style computer software, with the caption reading:
"1980: I have to keep my passion hidden from the public or I will be publicly ostracized."
Having developed an uncanny knack for stirring up a Twitter storm with every tweet related to Dogecoin, this time too was no different, as his childhood meme opened up the floodgates to a barrage of reactions online.
