  • One day in, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) looks like it will have a tough time living up to the expectations he and President Donald Trump outlined months ago.

The article from MSN discusses Elon Musk's influence on Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency he has publicly supported, and his broader impact on technology and politics. Musk has suggested that Dogecoin could be used to update software, particularly in the context of government operations, which he believes are inefficient. He has proposed firing federal workers and replacing them with software solutions, a concept he refers to as his "Doge Mandate." This idea stems from Musk's ongoing critique of government bureaucracy and his advocacy for technological solutions to streamline processes. The article also touches on Musk's history of tweeting about Dogecoin, which has historically led to fluctuations in its market value, and his vision for integrating cryptocurrency into everyday transactions, potentially transforming how government services are managed and delivered.
