Elon Musk Plays Dogecoin Enthusiast

Elon Musk initially appeared on the show as a financial expert named "Lloyd Ostertag."

Introduced by the host, he immediately declared, "Call me the Dogefather." with a charming smile.

The host then asked, "What is cryptocurrency?"

Lloyd Ostertag replied, "It's digital money, but not controlled by any central government. They are decentralized products utilizing blockchain technology." He continued:

Recently, prices have been skyrocketing, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, especially Dogecoin.

Host asks again: What is Dogecoin?

Lloyd Ostertag answered, "It actually started as an internet meme joke. But now it's really gaining attention."

The host continued, "So what exactly is Dogecoin?"

Lloyd Ostertag continued, "It was created in 2013, with 117 billion in circulation, and 113 billion have already been mined."

The host, still puzzled, asked again, "So what is Dogecoin?"

Lloyd Ostertag replied, "Like I said, it's digital currency." The host pulled out a dollar bill and asked, "Okay, look at this bill, it's real, right?" Lloyd Ostertag answered, "Yes, something like that."

The host continued, "So what is Dogecoin?" Lloyd Ostertag just smiled and replied, "Exactly! It's almost like that dollar bill."

The host turned to another host and asked, "Do you understand what this is?" The other host, looking serious, said, "Yes, I've been doing a lot of research lately and want to diversify our investment portfolio. What I want to know is: What is Dogecoin?"

Lloyd Ostertag reiterated, "It's the currency of the future, it will be a global financial medium. I'm telling you, it's a cryptocurrency that allows you to transact with traditional money."

The host gave up and asked directly, "So it's a hustle, right?" Lloyd Ostertag replied, "Yes, it's a hustle!"

Amidst laughter, Elon Musk playing Lloyd Ostertag shouted out the classic line, "To The Moon~~~~."
