According to U.Today, Elon Musk, the serial tech entrepreneur and CEO of companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, celebrated his 53rd birthday. The Dogecoin community also marked this occasion, as Musk has previously joked about a connection between his birthday and Dogecoin Day. A Dogecoin team member, known as DogeDesigner, highlighted that Musk was born '69 days after 4.20', a date significant to the Dogecoin community.
Dogecoin Day is recognized globally by cryptocurrency enthusiasts on April 20, also known as 'weed day'. This year, Dogecoin Day followed closely after another significant event in the cryptocurrency world, the fourth Bitcoin halving, which occurred on April 19 in the U.S. and April 20 in Europe. Musk's mother, Maye Musk, also joined in the birthday celebrations, posting a congratulatory tweet for her son.
In addition to Musk's birthday, the tech entrepreneur announced a significant achievement for his space company, SpaceX. The company's Starlink Internet terminals are now available in Madagascar, a development that was warmly received by the cryptocurrency community, including fans of XRP and Dogecoin.
As news of Musk's birthday circulated on social media, Dogecoin, the largest meme cryptocurrency, experienced a notable increase in value. At the time of writing, Dogecoin had seen a nearly 6% surge, with the cryptocurrency trading at $0.12735.
