[{"selector":"#anim-46e0567a-736e-4146-8567-eedcff9357e1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-695089f7-9459-452a-b179-c101e89524b1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a07adb3c-5fdd-4c2d-8f49-4cb75f83e7b1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -402.0014%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] After wishing everyone on his Twitter a happy Father’s Day and expressing the love he has for his kids, he went ahead to tweet about the memecoin, stating, “I will keep supporting dogecoin.”

He was then responded by a Twitter user, Altcoin Gordon, who suggested that Musk should keep buying the memecoin, to which Musk responded stating, “I am.”

This tweet comes after the world's richest man and his firms, Tesla and SpaceX, were named in a $258 billion class-action lawsuit.

As Musk was expressing his love and interest in the token, the price of the token continued soaring, with Musk himself predicting that the token would hit $1.
