Simmons was in Musk’s image due to the rocker tweeting his own DOGE support early Saturday with his usual modesty, proclaiming himself the “God Of Dogecoin.”

The Tweets by the three were enough to trigger the cryptocurrency to increase four ranks on the list of the most valuable cryptos. Coming in a seventh place, above Bitcoin Cash (11) and Litecoin (9). DOGE now has a value of $10.8 billion.
Pop star Kevin Jonas also jumped in with his support for the token by tweeting Saturday evening:
All I’m saying… $doge
