On April 28, 2021, Elon Musk tweeted "The Dogefather SNL May 8," teasing his Saturday Night Live hosting gig and sending Dogecoin up more than 20% within minutes. The tweet fueled a speculative climb that peaked when DOGE hit its all-time high of roughly $0.74 on May 8, the very day Musk took the stage and the coin promptly cratered nearly 30% as he called it "a hustle." It remains the textbook case of a celebrity bending a memecoin's price by the force of a single tweet.
