On that fateful Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Elon Musk-the omnipresent impresario of X, SpaceX, and Tesla-resurrected the spectral hope of launching a tangible Dogecoin to the moon. His utterance, a mere three words on the platform X, was as fleeting as a firefly’s glow:
“Maybe next year.”
This cryptic pronouncement harkened back to his 2021 vow to deposit a “literal Dogecoin on the literal moon,” a pledge entwined with the perpetually postponed DOGE-1 mission. In those halcyon days, the notion captivated the globe and ignited one of the most ludicrous meme-coin frenzies in crypto annals.
