The overall crypto market saw some movement after Musk's tweets. According to Coinmarketcap, and at the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at about $19,674 on Sunday after dropping as low a $17,708.62 on Saturday.

Dogecoin has made way for more meme coins such as Shiba Inu, Dogelon Mars, Floki Inu, and many more.
