Elon Musk Fuels Dogecoin Hype with D.O.G.E. Deficit-Cutting Plan, What's Next For DOGE?

Billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk once again hyped the cryptocurrency community’s interest with a cryptic and especially enthusiastic comment on X about DOGE.

Musk has proven himself on the side of fun regarding Dogecoin. As head of the D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency), he took to Twitter to post about reducing the US federal deficit

Musk’s Plan to Cut the Deficit by $1 Trillion

Musk stated that by cutting projected spending by $4 billion per day, the company could shrink the deficit, which currently exceeds $2 trillion, to just below $1 trillion by September 30, 2026.

The DogeDesigners user suggested that the amount be increased to $4.20 billion per day, the number 4.20, which was weed-related before it took off with Dogecoin memes. As a result, April 20 is now recognized as Dogecoin Day. Last year, the fourth Bitcoin halving took place on the same date. Musk reacted with a “rocket” emoji.

This comes after Elon Musk discussed how his D.O.G.E. initiative would affect the economy earlier, as the department was sued directly after the launch. In the earlier part of January, Musk hinted that if his governmental efficiency efforts are successful, leading cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin could lose their value sharply

Musk responded to Y Combinator founder Garry Tan’s assertion that Dogecoin could see a rise in value if Musk’s D.O.G.E. plans to reduce inflation, which would lower the dollar price of cryptocurrencies.

As Dogecoin rallied directly after the Dogecoin logo was published on the official site of D.O.G.E (Department of Government Efficiency), Doegcoin became the hottest topic, especially when the department was under discussion.
