The Price Of Fame Is 3 DOGE: Elon Musk Meets Up With Dogecoin Artist, Calls Him 'Talented'

A graphic designer at Dogecoin DOGE/USD posted a blurry photo on Thursday, which suggests that he may have finally met Twitter CEO Elon Musk

DogeDesigner told Benzinga that Musk appreciated his work, and called him "talented."

What Happened: The photo was accompanied with the question that the designer has been receiving in his inbox lately — “Did you pay Elon Musk 3 Doge for Twitter HQ visit?”

This encounter between the two started when the designer tweeted on March 23 that he would be traveling to the U.S. next month to witness the Starship Launch.

Why It Matters: Musk had responded to this request with a humorous response — “Ok, but it will cost 3 Doge.”

It appears that the designer may have followed through on that offer, resulting in their meeting.

Musk has been a long-standing proponent of Dogecoin, and his tweets have had a significant impact on its performance in the market. His tweets have also contributed to a rise in prices of other popular meme coins such as Floki FLOKI/USD, which rallied after Musk joked about Floki becoming the new Twitter CEO.

Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.078, down 0.94% in the last 24 hours,  according to Benzinga Pro.
