Elon Musk’s Twitter Lifts Ban From Over a Dozen Dogecoin-Tweeting Accounts

Twitter boss Elon Musk has been working enough to bring some Twitter accounts back to life, which he thinks were unfairly banned by the previous Twitter administration. More than a dozen Dogecoin tweeting accounts were brought to life over the last weekend.

Sharing his concern about the banned accounts, dogecoin founder Billy Markus tweeted:

“A whole bunch of accounts of people who, as far as i know, generally don’t do anything but tweet memes and positivity are being suspended. Pretty weird man.”

Elon Musk was quick to respond stating that he’s looking into the matter. In an update a few hours later, Musk said that the previous team was a bit aggressive in suggestions for spam bot accounts. “Team was a bit too intense with spam/bot suspensions. Moving to chill mode,” noted Musk.

The Dogecoin founder has confirmed that several accounts have come to life once again. “Welcome back doge accounts. ty @elonmusk,” added Markus.

Dogecoin Payments on Twitter

Elon Musk has once again hinted at getting Dogecoin payments to Twitter without saying anything specific about the timeline of launch. During a Twitter Spaces last Saturday, Musk was asked whether he would bring crypto payments to Twitter. Responding to it, Musk said: “dogecoin to the Moon”.

Elon Musk’s recent hint has helped the DOGE price to rally over the last weekend. As of press time, DOGE is trading above $0.10 with 12% gains over the last week.

Dogecoin has been in the news recently, especially over the last month after Elon Musk completed his Twitter acquisition. The DOGE community is celebrating that with Musk at Twitter’s helm of affairs, they might soon see DOGE payments on the platform.

Over the last two weeks, the DOGE price rally has overshadowed gains by some of the top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. However, on-chain data provider Santiment said that investors need to maintain caution. It added:

“Every time that [the] price of DOGE starts rising rapidly, there’s a market-wide crash following just moments later. Right now, we are observing such a rise. Now the question is, is this time different?”

Interestingly, OpenAI chatbot ChatGPT thinks that Dogecoin is a valuable and legitimate asset in the financial world.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
