Recently, US President-elect Donald Trump announced the creation of the Office of Government Efficiency ($DOGE ), naming Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as the leaders of the initiative. The goal of DOGE is to reduce government bureaucracy, eliminate excessive regulations, and cut unnecessary spending, with the goal of completing its activities by July 4, 2026, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of American independence.
It is important to note that DOGE in this context refers to the acronym for the new government department and has no direct relation to the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. There is no record of Elon Musk announcing the end of Dogecoin in 2026. On the contrary, Musk has been a notable supporter of Dogecoin, referring to it as the "people's cryptocurrency" and suggesting on previous occasions that Tesla might accept it as a form of payment.
Therefore, there is no evidence to support the claim that Elon Musk has announced the end of Dogecoin in 2026. The confusion may have arisen due to the coincidence of the DOGE acronym for the new government department and the name of the cryptocurrency. However, they are separate entities, and Dogecoin continues to operate in the cryptocurrency market with no indication of closure by Elon Musk.
