Elon Musk's Boring Company to accept Dogecoin in Las Vegas loop-

The Boring Company, Elon Musk's other, other company specializing in digging tunnels, will accept Dogecoin as a payment method in its newly opened Vegas Loop, CNN reported Wednesday.

The Loop is a transit method with drivers ferrying passengers in Tesla cars in a tunnel under Las Vegas. The first Loop station, opened last Friday, is outside the Las Vegas Convention center, but the company plans to have a total of 51 stations in a 29-mile tunnel network under the city.

Rides on the Loop are currently free, meaning customers won't be able to spend their precious DOGE there. But when The Boring Company starts charging for rides, sometime in the future, they'll cost $1.50 for a single ride and $2.50 for a day pass.
