Executed as per the Poll Result

Earlier last year, Tesla began taking bitcoin as payment for its EVs. The pilot program was quickly cancelled because of growing worries about Bitcoin’s energy consumption. Even before being chosen ‘Person of the Year’ for 2021 by Time magazine, Musk, a cryptocurrency lover, has backed Dogecoin and stated it is superior for transactions. Last year, Musk asked Twitter followers whether or not they wanted Tesla to take Dogecoin. Within 20 minutes of its broadcast, the poll had gathered more than 500,000 votes, with 75% of respondents answering “Yes.”
