According to a recent Twitter post by Wu Blockchain, Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is preparing to release his biography on September 12. The book, written by esteemed author Walter Isaacson, explores Musk’s impact on Dogecoin (DOGE), the meme coin that was originally created as a joke.
The report sheds light on Musk’s behind-the-scenes support for the evolution of Dogecoin, finally addressing the longstanding speculation among online enthusiasts regarding his significant involvement in the project.
“The biography of Elon Musk, which will be published on September 12, revealed that he has been quietly funding the development of DOGECOIN.”
Elon Musk’s tweets about Dogecoin have faced extensive scrutiny. Earlier this year, he found himself entangled in a class-action lawsuit that accused him of engaging in alleged insider trading and inflating the price of the meme coin. However, by late March, Musk defended his tweets, stating that his endorsements of Dogecoin were within legal boundaries.
Transforming Twitter into X: A $44 Billion Brand Makeover
In addition to his endeavors in space exploration and electric cars, Musk made waves in the social media realm last year. Surprisingly, he acquired Twitter for an astonishing $44 billion and recently decided to rebrand it under the name X.

The rebranding of Twitter under the name X was not merely a cosmetic change. Musk went a step further by replacing the platform’s iconic blue bird logo with Dogecoin’s recognizable Shiba Inu emblem. This symbolic gesture underscores his strong affinity for cryptocurrency and his intention to integrate it into mainstream platforms.
Is a Social Media Platform Built on Blockchain Technology Approaching?
In addition, Wu Blockchain has highlighted another intriguing revelation from the upcoming biography. Musk has been exploring the concept of a blockchain-based social media platform, an idea initially proposed by his brother, Kimbal. While Musk stated that X would “never” launch its own token, he jokingly suggested that Dogecoin could potentially serve as the payment system for the platform.
The biography also delves into an unsuccessful collaboration between Musk and former crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried, who attempted to assist Musk in acquiring Twitter. Despite this setback, Musk’s influence in the tech and crypto sectors remains unparalleled.
At present, Dogecoin is experiencing a slight decline, trading at $0.06322 with a 0.22% decrease in the last 24 hours. However, with Musk’s revealed involvement, the future of the cryptocurrency appears far from bleak.
