Elon Musk Calls Out Binance and Changpeng Zhao
It’s well-known that Elon Musk is a Dogecoin advocate, so he wasn’t so happy about these problems. Musk took to Twitter to bring up the issues related to DOGE customers, tagging Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao, saying: “What’s going on with your Doge customers? Sounds shady.“
The comment section rapidly became an arena for another crypto battle. Binance was the first to reply to Musk’s tweet, arguing there’s nothing shady with the issue, rather “frustrating.” However, Musk continued teasing the exchange by saying DOGE holders should be protected from such problems.

CZ Fires Back
Changpeng Zhao didn’t hesitate to fire back at Elon. The CEO said his company is in communications with Dogecoin developers and apologized for the inconvenience. However, he also linked an article by The Guardian about a Tesla software glitch in October.
The glitch caused communication errors for nearly 12,000 US Model S, X, 3, and Y vehicles, prompting Tesla to cancel the FSD update on cars to fix the error.
Elon, we are pretty certain it is an issue with the latest #doge wallet. We are in communications with the devs. Apologies for any inconvenience that may have caused you.
