It is not a very secluded fact that Elon Musk has been quite vocal on various topics based on cryptocurrencies. It seems that the 'Dogefather' still has a little bit of support left for his favorite Dogecoin.

Elon said in his statement that Bitcoin is not suitable for transactions because it is not as fast as other cryptocurrencies, and the network fees for a transaction are high as well. Furthermore, according to Elon, BTC is "at its base level, suitable for maybe a store of value." He also compared Dogecoin with Bitcoin, claiming that DOGE tokens are perfect for transactions.

"Even though it's created as a silly joke, dogecoin is better suited for transactions," said Elon.

In the interview with Times, Elon also said that he is not against fiat currencies and said that Bitcoin could not replace fiat currencies. He emphasized that fiat currencies get "diluted by whatever government it is. "He also pointed out that "fiat ends up being a pernicious tax on people, especially those who have cash savings with dilution of the money supply."

Musk was one of the original members of the PayPal team when it merged with X.com, an internet financial services firm, which Musk founded in 1999. 

"I could wax on about the nature of money for hours because I played a significant role in creating PayPal. There are very few people that understand [the money system] better than me," said Musk.

Tesla to accept Dogecoin?

Furthermore, Elon tweeted that Tesla is ready to test Dogecoin as a payment method. Tesla's on-and-off relationship with cryptocurrencies is a well known fact and it seems that Elon Musk has finally broken the silence on the same.
