Elon Musk, as the head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), explores the use of blockchain technology to reorganize the U.S. government operations, aiming to reduce costs and enhance transparency.

Elon Musk's Initiative and DOGE

As part of President Donald Trump's initiative to develop cryptocurrency-friendly policies, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was created. The main task of DOGE is to identify inefficiencies and reduce unnecessary government expenses. DOGE representatives met with public blockchain companies in October 2023 to explore the technology's possibilities.

Blockchain Potential and Challenges in Public Sector

The use of blockchain is considered as a method to track government spending, secure data, process payments, and manage properties. However, the lack of centralized management in public blockchains raises questions about their use in the public sector. Analyst Sam Hammond noted: 'An internal government blockchain could be used to track spending and contracts in a secure and transparent way.'

Prospects and Criticism

Proponents believe it could help address the growing budget deficit, but critics argue about the viability of blockchain for such needs. Economist Campbell Harvey from Duke University highlighted: 'One issue with the government using a public Blockchain is that they would have no control over the entries.'

Elon Musk and his team's efforts remain in the planning stage, underlining the Trump administration's interest in modernizing government operations with new technology. However, implementing blockchain in government structures remains contentious.
