Musk himself appeared to share what he discussed with Murdoch during the game.

Responding to a tweet asking what they talked about, Musk replied, “Dogecoin.”

Business Insider noted the tweet led the meme token to surge as much as 5% on Monday.

Musk has notably been a long-time advocate of dogecoin, as he adopted it as a form of payment in the merchandise store for his company Tesla, per Insider.

In December, The New York Times published an article about Musk’s politics titled, “Critics Say Musk Has Revealed Himself as a Conservative. It’s Not So Simple.”

The Times explained, “While he has not been shy about sharing his disdain for many Democrats, his enthusiasm for Republicans has been more muted. He has stressed repeatedly that his problems are with extremists on both ends of the political spectrum.”

He added, “And I’m open to the idea of voting Democrat again in the future.”
