Elon Musk Mourns the Loss of 'Kabosu,' the Inspiration Behind the Dogecoin Meme
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and ardent Dogecoin supporter, has paid tribute to Kabosu, the Shiba Inu who inspired the well-known cryptocurrency meme, on his X platform, formerly known as Twitter. Musk, nicknamed the "Dogefather," is believed to have a Shiba Inu of his own. Kabosu, who rose to fame in 2013 for her amusing facial expression, passed away at the age of 16. Her image has become synonymous with Dogecoin, which has gained popularity as a cryptocurrency and has a dedicated community online.
