Musk has been vocal about his support for DOGE, even unveiling plans for a Dogecoin-themed project for his space exploration company, SpaceX. However, his endorsement of DOGE has also landed him in hot water, as he was sued by investors who accused him of insider trading. The plaintiffs claimed that Musk sold $124 million worth of DOGE in April, right after changing X’s (then known as Twitter) logo to the DOGE mascot.

Despite the legal trouble, Musk has expressed interest in integrating DOGE payments within the X platform, although no tentative date has been announced. Many expect DOGE’s price to skyrocket when this integration becomes a reality. According to Altcoin Daily, DOGE could reach $1 or even $5 after its integration with X.

Reaching $1 would translate to a growth rate of about 1487%, while reaching $5 would mean a growth rate of 7836%. If an investor purchases $100 worth of DOGE at current prices, the investment could turn into $1587 if DOGE reaches $1, and $7936 if it reaches $5.
