Musk has posted numerous comments about cryptocurrencies on Twitter this year, causing prices to gyrate.

Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer and cryptocurrency supporter Elon Musk said on Thursday he has not and will not sell any of his dogecoin holdings.

"Yeah, I haven't & won't sell any Doge," Musk said on Twitter in response to a tweet on Thursday claiming he would never sell any of his doge holdings and that he was the "ultimate hodler".

His tweets on dogecoin have turned the once-obscure digital currency into a speculator's dream.
