The “Chief Twit” claimed that billionaires Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch were talking about “Dogecoin” while they were seen watching the Super Bowl together on Sunday. The Twitter CEO watched pregnant Rihanna’s sublime performance on the football pitch before getting close to media magnate Murdoch and his daughter Elisabeth.
Two of the richest men in the world were watching the Philadelphia Eagles-Kansas City Chiefs as they sat next to each other. One Twitter user enquired what they were talking about, to which Musk curtly replied, “Dogecoin.” Developed by software developers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin is also known as a “meme coin.” As Musk also sat with the billionaire while sporting a t-shirt with the Dogecoin emblem on it, he seems to continue his support for the company as we handled in one of our articles: Elon Musk still supports DOGE and wants Mcdonald’s to adopt it.

The Tesla CEO was jokingly slammed for claiming to support the Eagles before the game, but in a subsequent tweet, he praised the Chiefs after their victory. Additionally, he wished the Chiefs luck in the game before using two fire emojis to depict Rihanna’s halftime performance.
How do Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch know each other?
Musk is already friendly with the Murdoch family. James Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch, recently defended the Tesla CEO in court about his contentious tweet from 2018.
The tweets, according to Murdoch, were in line with what he understood about Musk’s discussions with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, a sovereign wealth fund. In the end, Musk won the court case after the hearing in January.
Who is Rupert Murdoch?
Rupert Murdoch is an American newspaper publisher and media entrepreneur of Australian descent who established (1979) the News Corporation Ltd., a multinational media holding corporation. Following a restructure in which its media and television operations were spun off (2013) as 21st Century Fox and mainly sold, Murdoch concentrated on publishing (2019). The Fox Corporation, which includes Fox News and other TV networks, was founded as a result of the sale.
Recently, Murdoch was spotted sunbathing in Barbados with Ann-Lesley Smith, 66, a former police chaplain, and the widow of US country music icon Chester Smith. The two connected in November. Mr. Murdoch has gone through four divorces. He was married to writer Anna Torv from 1967 to 1998 and former flight attendant Patricia Booker from 1956 to 1967. Then, 38 years after Wendy Deng, a Chinese-born entrepreneur, became his wife, he filed for divorce in 2013. Two months after the stunning announcement of their engagement in The Times in 2016, Mr. Murdoch wed Ms. Hall, a former long-term lover of Rolling Stone Sir Mick Jagger.
