Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk continued to engage with his Twitter following over the weekend, sharing memes and commenting on those posted by others, but that did not help a certain adult-themed coin or Dogecoin.
What Happened: CumRocket (CUMMIES) traded 10.9% lower at $0.124 at press time on Sunday night over a 24-hour period. Over a week, the coin has spiked 198.35%. Musk’s meme-posting had led to an explosion in the price of CUMMIES on Friday.
Another coin that Musk often discusses on Twitter, Dogecoin (DOGE), traded 0.63% higher at $0.37 on a 24-hour trailing basis. DOGE has gained 23.85% in a seven-day period.

Last month, the Tesla CEO engaged in a war of words with Bitcoin advocates, which was less than friendly at times.
Bitcoin “is a helluva drug,” Musk replied over the weekend to a Tweet that featured a video of MicroStrategy Incorporated MSTR CEO Michael Saylor and Max Keiser engaging with a crowd on stage at Bitcoin 2021.
