Elon Musk

Elon Musk, Dogecoin fan and CEO of Tesla, has reportedly added Dogecoin as a payment method for some Tesla products, as per a FAQs section on the official website of Tesla. It follows a month after Elon Musk hinted at accepting Dogecoin as an official form of payment for its cars at some point in the future. 
Traders reacted immediately to the news and DOGE price skyrocketed over 20% in the last 24 hours, with the price changing hands at $0.16. Regardless of the buzz in the crypto community, Tesla hasn’t confirmed whether Dogecoin is an acceptable payment for Tesla cars.

Elon Musk’s electric car manufacturer Tesla has started accepting Dogecoin as a payment method at Tesla Shops. According to a Dogecoin support page on the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tesla.com/support/dogecoin" target="_blank">Tesla</a> website, customers need to look at the Dogecoin symbol next to the “order” page of Dogecoin-eligible products. As per <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.tesla.com/support/dogecoin" target="_blank">Wayback Machine</a>, the latest update on the page was done today, May 4. 
Tesla products can be purchased through a Dogecoin wallet only. “All eligible Tesla products will be clearly priced in Dogecoin. This price will include any applicable taxes,” as per a FAQ. 
However, there are some terms when making Dogecoin payments. These include — not accepting payments from multiple wallets for a single order, an order once placed can’t be canceled, and returns are not applicable for items purchased with Dogecoin. 
“Tesla only accepts Dogecoin. Tesla cannot receive or detect any other digital assets. Ensure you are making your purchase with Dogecoin.”
