Elon Musk Supporting the Whales?
The influential Musk has remained quite upright regarding his support for Dogecoin.

The recent price correction of the asset should not be a concern for long-term holders. All the stocks face correction when they encounter massive price soar.

Although the asset has slipped down 10% in a 24-hour time frame, it is still supported by numerous crypto holders.
However, Dogecoin will go up again as it has done so many times in the past.
