Elon Musk’s Twitter Acquisition
The infamous memecoin’s massive price rally was mostly sparked due to the recent news of Elon Musk’s official acquisition of Twitter. With the billionaire known to be a massive supporter of the popular memecoin, his acquisition of one of the biggest social media platforms ever brought a lot of bullishness to Dogecoin too.
