Elon Musk, CEO da Tesla, reiterou seu apoio ao candidato dent dos EUA, Donald Trump, e à sua criptomoeda favorita, Dogecoin (DOGE), em uma postagem. A postagem também fez referência ao plano proposto por Trump para uma comissão de eficiência governamental liderada por Musk, caso seja reeleito.
Musk tem falado abertamente sobre sua ideia DOGE no X, dizendo que o Departamento de Eficiência Governamental (DOGE) será “épico”. Esta parece ser a primeira vez que a pessoa mais rica do mundo mencionará o token DOGE e Trump na mesma conversa.
A maioria das tentativas recentes de Musk de reviver o rali Dogecoin tiveram resultados decepcionantes.
Musk acessou o X para compartilhar um pôster onde ele e Donald Trump podem ser vistos posando em frente à casa branca com alguns óculos escuros legais. No entanto, por enquanto, em suas postagens sobre Trump, Musk apresentou Doge em um movimento que muitos consideram uma manobra para reacender a mania da moeda meme nas redes sociais.

Donald Trump, in a Michigan rally on Friday, said that he would make Elon Musk the country’s “cost cutter” if elected. He stated, “I’m gonna get Elon, and he’s great at this, he’s gonna be our cost cutter.” Trump believes that Musk won’t be able to fill this post on a full-time basis as he is a little busy sending rockets up.
The former president mentioned that Elon is going to do this job for zero cost, but he wants to see this country be great, and he’ll do it. Tesla CEO’s latest poster move comes in after this fresh incident where he seems to be affirming Trump’s statement.
The introduction of DOGE or Dogecoin while campaigning is not a surprise for the crypto community. It is one of those moves that everyone who follows the campaign would have predicted.
“Digital assets” is one of the hot topics in the 2024 US elections. Elon Musk endorsing Donald Trump in the presidential race and Trump tapping Musk as the head of cost cutting authority sets the stage for DOGE to make a rally.
Musk has promoted Dogecoin through various platforms. Back in 2022, he announced that his company will accept DOGE as payment for rides on its Las Vegas transit system Loop. Meanwhile, Tesla already accepts the dog-themed meme coin for some merchandise.
Dogecoin has recorded an upward rally of over 22% in the last 30 days. Still, it is trending downward by 5% in the past 60 days.
DOGE price saw a marginal surge after Musk put out the poster on X. Dogecoin is trading at an average price of $0.123 as of press time. It is down by 83% from its all-time-high of $0.73, recorded on May 8, 2021.
