> he's just meme-ing and not making huge bets on it but just playing around

But that’s SO much worse! He’s coaxing his followers to dash out in front of a steamroller to help him — a billionaire — pick up pennies. He’s “just playing around” with peoples’ life savings.

It would be far less reprehensible if Musk held sincere but misguided beliefs in Doge but “just meme-ing” is unconscionable. Especially for someone with his exorbitant wealth to do so at the expense of those with far fewer resources.
