What Happened: As one of the most followed accounts on Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR), Musk said he is the subject of many crypto scams.
“Scammers are going to target my account,” Musk said on the Full Send Podcast.
Musk is also the target of “sh**coins” being named after him in an attempt to get members of the public to associate the coin with the Tesla CEO.
One coin called Dogelon Mars (CRYPTO: ELON) is tagged as Elon coin, but isn't related to Musk.
“I had nothing to do with it.”
When it comes to cryptocurrencies, there’s still one "good boy" for Musk.
“I’m mainly supporting Doge. Doge has the memes and dogs and has a sense of humor and doesn’t take itself too seriously,” he said.
Musk believes that Dogecoin has more capabilities than Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) for transactional use.
“The fact that 5 billion DOGE are created every year is actually, I think, good for using it as a transactional currency.”

Why It’s Important: Along with tweeting about Dogecoin, Musk has also shown support for the popular meme coin through the companies he runs.
“You can buy Tesla merch and SpaceX merch with Doge,” Musk said.
Musk also referred to The Boring Company allowing Dogecoin for some transactions.
