'It is a wrecking ball': Former DOGE worker describes Musk-led government-slashing effort from the inside

^{Published on 2025-04-07 13:00:29 - CNN}

Elon Musk has claimed the Department of Government Efficiency is "the most transparent organization in government ever." But Merici Vinton, a federal worker who recently left her job at the government information technology office weeks after it was taken over by DOGE,

The article from CNN dated April 7, 2025, discusses a new initiative by Elon Musk aimed at integrating Dogecoin into everyday transactions through a program called "Doge Worker." This program encourages businesses to pay their employees in Dogecoin, with Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, leading the way by offering their employees the option to receive a portion of their salaries in the cryptocurrency. The move is seen as an effort to increase the mainstream adoption of Dogecoin, which has been a favorite of Musk's and has seen significant volatility in its value. Critics argue that paying wages in a highly fluctuating currency could be risky for workers, while supporters believe it could democratize finance and boost the cryptocurrency's legitimacy.
