According to U.Today, a new animation featuring Elon Musk and Dogecoin (DOGE) is creating a stir in the cryptocurrency world. The one minute, 24 seconds long clip addresses the ongoing issues of interoperability in the Web3 ecosystem. The animation, shared by Sir Doge of the Coin, uses Michael Jackson’s classic song, 'Man in the Mirror,' as its soundtrack, delivering a potent message to the cryptocurrency community.
The animation highlights the frustrations experienced by users of one platform who are unable to transact on another due to interoperability issues. In the clip, Musk observes a young girl being denied the ability to pay for a cookie using her X wallet by a DOGE seller. This incident troubles Musk, leading to a bout of insomnia. In response, he takes action based on the lyrics of the theme song, 'Man in the Mirror.'
The animation concludes with a solution where DOGE and X collaborate, allowing the girl to pay for her cookies using the X wallet. This collaboration between DOGE and X hints at Musk’s plan to launch a peer-to-peer payment platform and transform X into a comprehensive app for global users. While the plan for integrating payment solutions into X remains unclear, there is speculation that Dogecoin could be one of the first supported currencies.
In March, U.Today reported that Musk had made significant strides towards crypto payments by obtaining licenses in three new states – Illinois, New Mexico, and Oregon. This move is seen as a significant step towards Musk’s vision of expanding X beyond its initial scope as a social media platform. Analysts suggest that the animation could indicate a potential collaboration, given speculations that Musk, a tech billionaire and meme enthusiast with significant influence in the crypto space, could be the whale who holds over 36 billion coins.
