The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has reaffirmed his commitment to have SpaceX send Dogecoin (DOGE) to the Moon as early as next year.
In a brief exchange on X, Musk reignited speculation around Dogecoin after responding to a resurfaced post about the mission. His commentary once again attracted attention to his long-standing association with the meme token.
Key Points
Elon Musk has reaffirmed SpaceX’s plans to send Dogecoin to the Moon.
He suggested the mission could take place as early as next year.
Musk has repeatedly renewed this commitment since first making the claim in 2021.
Despite the renewed attention, DOGE posted only a modest price reaction.
Musk Confirms Plans to Send Dogecoin to the Moon
The discussion began when the “Tesla Owners Silicon Valley” account reposted a screenshot of Musk’s 2021 claim that SpaceX would place a “literal Dogecoin” on the “literal Moon.” When asked for an update, Musk replied, “Maybe next year,” suggesting the mission could occur as early as 2027.
Interestingly, Musk reinforced the narrative by replying “Yes” to a separate post stating that “Dogecoin on [to] the Moon is inevitable.” However, he provided no further details on how SpaceX would execute the plan.
Dogecoin to the Moon Mission
Although the phrase “Dogecoin to the moon” has long symbolized a surge in #DOGE ’s price, Musk’s viral X post has given it a more literal and realistic dimension.
Since the post went viral in 2021, Musk has repeatedly reaffirmed plans to send Dogecoin to the Moon. In November 2025, he revisited the pledge, saying, “It’s time,” and he has now reignited excitement by signaling the goal could be fulfilled by 2027.
Unending Support for DOGE
Meanwhile, this development reflects Musk’s sustained support for DOGE. He has backed the token as a payment option for Tesla and SpaceX merchandise and posted bullish commentary on social media. Interestingly, even his lawyer, Alex Shapiro, was chosen to chair a $200 million Dogecoin treasury firm. This persistent backing played a key role in DOGE’s surge to an all-time high in May 2021.
Notably, Musk’s comments had a limited impact on DOGE’s price. After he revealed the mission timeline, DOGE briefly rose from about $0.1069 to $0.1087, reflecting a modest 1.68% gain. However, the token has since pulled back and now trades at $0.1081, up 1.45% over the past 24 hours.
