Elon Musk, the billionaire tech mogul, recently showed some love to Shiba Inu. However, it is not the Shiba Inu you expect. His recent post on X about his love for dogs sparked a frenzy within the dog-themed cryptocurrency community, as he shared an adorable photo featuring various dog breeds, including a prominent Shiba Inu.
This seemingly innocuous act sent shockwaves through the Shiba Inu, Floki Inu, and Dogecoin communities, igniting speculation about potential investment signals.

A Longstanding Canine Connection
Muskâs affection for Shiba Inu dogs is well-documented. He openly expressed his desire for a Shiba puppy in May 2021, further amplifying the interest in June when he proclaimed, âIâm getting a Shiba Inu.â However, the Shiba Inu communityâs excitement was short-lived when it became clear Musk referred to the actual dog breed, not the cryptocurrency.
This distinction was further emphasized when a community member inquired about his SHIB token holdings. Musk responded by saying he didnât hold any SHIB, adding that his cryptocurrency portfolio solely consists of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.
Muskâs love for Dogecoin is clear, as his attention was the driving force behind DOGEâs rise to prominence in the crypto market.
Despite his love for the Shiba Inu dog, Musk has remained hesitant to embrace the associated cryptocurrency. While his reasoning remains undisclosed, it hasnât deterred the Shiba Inu community from persistent efforts to woo him into the fold. Whether Musk will succumb to their pleas and invest in SHIB remains an open question.
His disinterest has not stopped the SHIB community from getting excited by what they see as hints from the billionaire. This excitement also extends to Elon-adjacent products, as recent revelations from Grok, Elon Muskâs AI-powered chatbot, caused a stir in the Shiba Inu community.
