Tech billionaire Elon Musk is once again making waves on crypto Twitter, sending two digital assets on rallies by mentioning them.
In a since-deleted tweet screen captured by CoinGecko, the Twitter chief executive wrote a message referencing layer-1 protocol Aptos ($APT), sending the Ethereum (ETH) competitor’s price soaring.
Musk’s brief tweet, which simply read “AI $APT OTT,” sent the proof-of-stake protocol skywards as it went from a 24-hour low of $12.27 all the way up to $13.40, a 9.2% increase in just a few hours. However, the token has since retraced and is trading for $12.33 at time of writing.
Musk also responded to a meme posted by a Dogecoin ($DOGE) graphics designer, which had a picture of the CEO in a hard hat seemingly working in a mine.
In the message, the $DOGE developer addressed rumors that Musk once owned an emerald mine, promising media outlets payment in $DOGE if they can procure proof of the mine’s existence.
“Elon Musk never owned an emerald mine.
An open offer of 69.420 $DOGE to all the media outlets who are publishing false information. Send me a proof of its existence and take your $DOGE.”
Musk himself also chimed in, adding that he’d pay even more in $DOGE for proof of the mine.
“I will pay a million Dogecoin for proof of this mine’s existence!”
The tweets sent Dogecoin on a temporary ride, as it went from $0.0868 up to $0.0912, a 5% increase. However, $DOGE has since pulled back and is trading for $0.0869 at time of writing.
