April

He likes to call himself the “dogefather” and had a really successful tweet that got him to host Saturday Night Live. He also had endorsements from billionaire investor Mark Cuban that helped push dogecoin’s price way up.

May

Plans to accept bitcoin were scrapped after two months, as the CEO explained that the potential benefits didn’t outway the risks. For example, mining would need a lot of energy and produce a lot of CO2. The U-turn from Tesla triggered a slump in their stock and the cryptocurrency market as a whole.

October

Shiba Inu is a type of dog that lives in Japan. This specific species began a sudden surge in late October after Elon Musk tweeted a photo of his new Japanese pup named “Floki,” without any mention of crypto holdings. He later explained he only had investments in bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin.

November

Tesla stock fell in November due to an earlier Twitter post by Musk asking “if he should sell 10% of his stake” The poll showed that over half of the votes were yes.

December
