SpaceX Ballyhoos DOGE-1 Moon Mission; Wall Street Laughs

Later in the show, Musk admitted on "Weekend Update" that Dogecoin is "a hustle" -- and this morning, the dog-faced cryptocurrency that began as an internet joke is in the red. The very next day after that segment aired, SpaceX announced it will launch a "DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon." As the company confirmed, Canada's Geometric Energy Corporation, "an intellectual property, manufacturing and logistics firm originally founded on inventing renewable energy technologies," will be allowed to use Dogecoin to pay for the launch of a 40 kilogram (88 pound) cube satellite aboard a SpaceX rocket.
