Elon is indeed difficult to predict, he always easily plays Doge for the sake of his product, or maybe also wants to make Doge last a long time with his controversy.

Elon's career will not end just because of the Doge, he is already financially established even without the Doge Elon will still be brilliant.
That seemed true because he could easily turn around and go against what he had said earlier.
But we know Elon always creates controversy for the crypto market and maybe he wants to do it again this time.
We don't know what he meant by saying that but it could be true and he was serious about what he said.
I hope he doesn't do anything reckless in the future.
If you are buying something because Elon suggested, then maybe you deserve to lose money? I mean he is unexpected but he is also not the type of person I would love to see supporting us neither. I would be fine with a few rich people, not a lot, and Elon is not among those people as well. Like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates looks like good people, do not know if they are actually good or not because I never really got any bad news from them but at the end of the day they are better than Elon for sure.
Elon on the other hand is a terrible person and just because he pumped some coin up, I will not buy that coin, I would in fact stay away from a coin if he advices people to buy it.
