Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, took to Twitter to wish the DOGE Army a Happy Easter, uploading a photo of a Shiba Inu puppy and Easter eggs with an image of Dogecoin on them. Some twitteratis on the thread thought that the Shiba dog in the photo was Musk’s puppy, Floki, whom he purchased in June of last year.
Following that, the meme coin “Floki Inu” arose. Floki is now trading at around the same price as Shiba Inu, the second-largest meme currency by market cap—$0.00002786 (15:51 IST).
Musk remains a Dogecoin supporter, owning neither SHIB nor Floki. According to a previous tweet, all of his crypto assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DOGE.

Elon Musk’s tweet was met with a response from Dogecoin creator Billy Markus, who posted a GIF from the Simpsons cartoon depicting the character donning a Shiba Inu head and dumping an Easter egg on the lawn.
Markus expects Doge to be worth $1, but there’s a catch
On Saturday, April 16, Billy Markus, who is no longer on the Dogecoin project and has claimed in multiple tweets that he would neither develop another crypto nor return to DOGE, tweeted that he anticipated the joke coin to hit one dollar by the end of that day.
Later, he explained that he did not mean the US dollar, but the Hong Kong dollar, which trades at $0.13.
