He is especially a champion of bitcoin and the meme coin dogecoin.

Dogecoin gained 4.5% to $0.149467 to a market value of $19.74 billion, according to CoinGecko. Shiba Inu, the other meme coin was only up 2.6%, while bitcoin was up just 0.6%
This is the second time in less than a week that Elon Musk has spiked dogecoin prices.
When the billionaire announced a few days ago that he owns more than 9% of Twitter (TWTR) – Get Twitter, Inc. Report, dogecoin prices jumped more than 10%. Crypto fans are hoping Musk can push the social network to embrace dogecoin.
