The announcement of new payment functionalities on X has catalyzed a surge in interest for meme coins such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Floki (FLOKI), and Shiba Inu (SHIB).

Today marks a decade since the official launch of the well-known meme coin on December 6, 2013.

Elon Musk has once again pumped DOGE. The token surged by 4.1%. Meanwhile, the legal battle over Musk's alleged manipulation of Dogecoin rages on, with his attorney denying any involvement.

Among the plethora of memes generated from this image, one in particular stands out: a comparison with Kabosu, the Dogecoin cryptocurrency mascot. Condolences have also poured in from various cryptocurrency and meme communities worldwide.

Elon Musk's legal team argues that his court battle with a group of disgruntled Dogecoin investors has dragged on for too long. The billionaire’s attorney, Alex Shapiro, has requested the dismissal of the revised lawsuit. “Enough is enough,” Shapiro wrote. “This action is yet another example of counsel’s abusive and belligerent litigation tactics.”
