Elon Musk supports DOGE with new tweet

In a recently published tweet, the biggest DOGE fan and a great meme lover Elon Musk shared his version of the popular “Biggus Dickus” joke from the Monty Python’s Life of Brian comedy movie released in 1979.

The image published by Musk demonstrates two characters from the aforementioned movie. One of them is a Roman legionary (marked as “Elon Musk”) and the other one is a member of the Roman senate (marked as “the mainstream media”). The legionary can barely hold from laughing while listening to the senator, depicting the reaction of tech tycoon Musk being amused as DOGE has entered the top ten list of cryptocurrencies and the mainstream media, which in the past slammed not only Bitcoin but its parody copy DOGE as well, now has reversed its attitude and is talking about it as a serious asset, perhaps a trifle unwillingly.

After this tweet was published, the original meme cryptocurrency briefly gained 4%. In the past, such as three or four years ago, the effect on the Dogecoin price caused by Musk’s tweets was much bigger and lasted much longer.
