Elon Musk has just single-handedly sent the price of cryptocurrency Dogecoin to the moon with a bunch of tweets, sending the price of Dogecoin through the roof. His tweets kicked off a Dogecoin rocket, with the price skyrocketing from $0.05 to just under $0.058 within minutes and I'm sure the party is only just starting for Dogecoin.

45 minutes Musk started with this simple picture of a rocket, flying in front of the moon.

Then he simply said "doge" a few minutes later.

But it was the beautiful picture he shared of his face over Rafiki from The Lion King, while holding up the young Simba -- but with the Dogecoin face over it. This was enough to skyrocket the price of Dogecoin.
