“And futuristic dinner/drive-in planned for the Hollywood area!”
then add:
“Of course, you can pay in Doge.
Dogecoin price does not fluctuate much
Tesla’s CEOhowever, did not clarify what exactly customers can pay with the cryptocurrency DOGE.

At the time of Musk’s tweet, DOGE was trading at $0.1417and although the price rose slightly to $0.1450has since fallen to $0.140282.
