Elon Musk, the tech visionary and CEO of SpaceX, recently took to the X social media platform (formerly known as Twitter) to announce the latest achievement of SpaceX – more Starlinks satellites reaching Earth’s orbit. This update, seemingly unrelated to the world of cryptocurrencies, has unexpectedly triggered a wave of excitement within the XRP community.
XRP Army Sees a Connection in Musk’s Tweet
XRP enthusiasts were quick to draw parallels between Musk’s announcement and their favorite cryptocurrency, XRP. They creatively interpreted Musk’s tweet, posting comments like “More XRP reach orbit” and “$XRP is about to reach orbit after takeoff!” This interaction highlights the XRP community’s ongoing efforts to link their preferred digital currency with Musk’s ventures.
The X Logo: A Symbolic Link for XRP Fans
Since Twitter’s rebranding to X, XRP supporters have noted the resemblance between the new X logo and the XRP logotype. This similarity has become a point of discussion and excitement within the XRP community, leading them to frequently engage with Musk’s posts on the platform.
Musk’s Crypto Preferences: Dogecoin Over XRP
Despite the XRP community’s attempts to garner Musk’s attention for Ripple’s affiliated coin, Musk’s crypto preferences lean towards Dogecoin (DOGE), the original dog-themed cryptocurrency. Known for his fondness for Dogecoin and occasionally other meme-centric altcoins, Musk’s tweets have been known to cause immediate, albeit often short-lived, price surges in these cryptocurrencies.
XRP Community’s Persistent Efforts
Members of the XRP community continue to be active in the comments section of Musk’s tweets, hoping to draw the billionaire’s attention to XRP. However, Musk’s focus remains on Dogecoin and occasionally on AI-focused digital currencies, aligning with his interest in technology and innovation.
