Elon Musk really, REALLY likes Dogecoin.
After endlessly shilling the joke cryptocurrency on Twitter, in interviews and on television, and after announcing that his company SpaceX will literally send a satellite named Doge-1 to the moon, Musk now seems to be considering adding a DOGE payment option to Tesla.
On Tuesday, Musk posted a poll on Twitter, asking users whether they want Tesla to accept DOGE.

At writing time, the feedback is overwhelmingly in favor; with 1.4 million votes cast, 76.9 percent have voted yes, and 23.1 percent have voted against it.
Unsurprisingly, the price of DOGE jumped immediately following the poll, from about $0.46 to $0.55.

Still, is there any point to this, beyond Musk continuing to champion his favorite cryptocurrency, and causing its price to spike? Probably not, though DOGE is a perfectly usable cryptocurrency which is used daily by millions, and even though I doubt Tesla will see a massive amount of DOGE-facilitated sales, the real question here may be: Why not?
