Elon Musk’s potential departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has sparked speculations of unintended consequences on the Dogecoin price. Following the White House chatter, rumors are circulating that the Tesla CEO is leaving the department, poised to impact Dogecoin, a token often linked to Musk.
A Politico report suggests that the curtain could be falling on Elon Musk’s time at DOGE after nearly four months. Musk has been leading operations at the department since its formation, stifling fraud and reducing government inefficiency.
However, the report notes that the Tesla CEO will be leaving the agency to focus on his business empire. Per the report, Musk’s departure is linked to growing criticisms over his handling of DOGE operations since taking over the reins.
Elon Musk’s supporters argue that a transition is in order with the blueprint for DOGE already established. Furthermore, whispers of a departure are coinciding with the end of a 130-day exemption for Musk to operate as a special government employee, allowing him to sidestep a maze of conflict of interest rules.
Despite, clear signals for his Elon Musk’s departure, President Trump vows to keep the billionaire at DOGE for as long as possible. While Musk will not call the shots at DOGE in the future, pundits say Trump will offer Musk with an advisory role.
The exit of Elon Musk from DOGE will have far-reaching effects on Dogecoin’s price. His appointment to DOGE triggered a rally for the memecoin and pundits theorize that his exit may trigger negative sentiments.
Musk’s influence on the memecoin is far-reaching and previous actions have triggered price swings. After Musk teased a Ghibli-themed DOGE, Dogecoin price showed glimpses of a strong rally.
His comments that there are no DOGE adoption plans by the US sent dampened enthusiasm for a potential rally. At the moment, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1742, holding onto its April 1 gains. However, weekly charts indicate a 12% draw down that may worsen if Elon Musk leaves DOGE.
