Elon Musk Issues Big DOGE Adoption Reminder

On Saturday, tech entrepreneur and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, commented on the potential founding of The Texas Institute of Technology and Science, jokingly referred to as TITS. Musk had previously shared this idea in 2021, pointing out that tuition payments would be accepted in Dogecoin and dog owners would receive discounts.

This weekend, Katherine Boyle, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, tweeted that it is a good idea to begin creating this institution now, suggesting it should mimic great military leadership academies: “1000 of our best and brightest American engineers, selected based on test scores, PSAT, and raw technical ability, with a fast track into the greatest manufacturing and engineering companies in the country following graduation.”

Elon Musk agreed with this idea, suggesting that perhaps the time has indeed come to create this institution.
