Follow Friday: 8 Dogecoin Accounts To Follow On Twitter

The rise of the valuation of Dogecoin has helped several Twitter accounts grow with loyal communities wanting to talk about and share memes of the “meme coin.”

For this week’s Follow Friday, Benzinga looks at some of the top Twitter Inc TWTR accounts to follow for all things Dogecoin.

Elon Musk: The Dogefather Elon Musk is best known as the CEO of Tesla Inc TSLA. Musk is also cheered and jeered as someone who tweets about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin on a weekly basis.

Dating back to April 2, 2019, Musk has responded to people asking him about Dogecoin and shared his own memes about the cryptocurrency on Twitter.

Dogecoin was trading at $0.002552 around the time of Musk’s first tweet, which led to a great return for anyone who invested when Musk said, “Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency.”

Slim Jim: The 145,000-plus Twitter followers of Slim Jim typically see Dogecoin-related memes everyday.

Slim Jim, a Conagra Brands CAG company, has used Dogecoin to help its social media reach and launched its first-ever non-fungible token this year centered on Slim Jim and Dogecoin. The Conagra Brands earnings call became the first time a publicly traded company mentioned Dogecoin on a call. Earlier this year, the company reported a 160% increase in Twitter followers.
