The official account of Dogecoin on X has published a post with a screenshot of what Elon Musk’s new product – Robotaxi – is going to look like from inside marked with a “Tesla-live” signature. This came from a presentation of Tesla’s new product – a driverless taxi.
The important thing here is that this screenshot from Tesla features a Shiba Inu dog on a passenger seat. This immediately attracted the attention of the Dogecoin army. The Dogecoin account tweeted to ask Musk directly about this, referring to is as “a Shiba Inu taxi.”
@Dogecoin + @elonmusk = Bull run

Many DOGE-loving commentators responded to that tweet, showing their excitement and encouragement: “ Accept Doge as payment or give up the title of Doge Father.” “@Dogecoin + @elonmusk = Bull run.” “Seems like a $DOGE to me.”
Elon Musk shares presentation of “Cybertaxi” on X
On Thursday, Elon Musk shared a live broadcast of a “We, Robot” party for Tesla customers on his X account. The party took place on October 9. In it, the centibillionaire came out on stage, walking past a Cybertruck with the doors open, representing a Cybertrack that will be used for Robotaxis. He promised “quite a show” to be presented that night.
Musk said that he had arrived to that party in that Cybercab, adding that a lot more cybertrucks have been turned into taxis so far. In that party that took place on huge premises that looked more like a hanger there were fifty fully autonomous cars, according to Musk. These cybercabs have no steering wheel or pedals.
Musk referred to multiple sci-fi movies and computer games set in a distant bleak and gloomy post-apocalyptic future, saying that the humanity wants a different future to that – “We want a fun, exciting future,” he said.
Is that Dogecoin screenshot real?
The visuals from the 3D presentation described modern transport as follows: “costs too much”, “not safe”, “not sustainable”. At the top of the screen the words are written, which pretty much summarizes it: “Today’s transportation sucks.”

These fully autonomous and unsupervised cars will be useful in big cities with heavy traffic and safe people a lot of time, Musk said. Still, the question remains whether the aforesaid screenshot with Shiba Inu was photoshopped by the Dogecoin account or not.
