Musk also joked that students who have a dog could get an unspecified discount.
This was enough to cause a market euphoria over this cryptocurrency so talked about and popular on Twitter.
Last week, the billionaire sent Twitter users into a frenzy after revealing his plan to open a university called “Texas Institute of Technology & Science.”
