For those who don’t know, this department aims to overhaul government operations by reducing bureaucratic waste and increasing efficiency, in close alignment with Trump’s “Save America” movement.
With this initiative, Trump aims to significantly reduce federal spending and reform regulatory policies, signaling a substantial change in the way Washington could operate under his administration.
Trump said the same in a statement:
“Together, these two great Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, eliminate redundant regulations, reduce wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies.”
How did Musk and Ramaswamy respond?
Respond to this, Vivek Ramaswamy noted,
“DOGE will soon begin crowdsourcing examples of government waste, fraud and abuse. Americans voted for drastic government reform and they deserve to be part of its solution.”
In a separate tweet he published a warning stating,
“We will not go softly, @elonmusk.”
Musk echoed the sentiment, and suggested,
“This will send shockwaves through the system and through everyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!”
Impact on DOGE memecoin
As expected, the announcement of Trump’s proposed DOGE has given Dogecoin a boost [DOGE]with the meme-inspired cryptocurrency experiencing a nearly 10% price increase shortly after the news broke.
The increased trading volumes reflected investor enthusiasm, while renewed market interest revived Dogecoin’s momentum.
However, according to the latter CoinMarketCap Update: DOGE’s price has since fallen 8.73% over the past 24 hours.
However, Dogecoin’s weekly gain was notable, with the memecoin surging more than 97% – the highest weekly gain DOGE has seen in months.
