On November 17, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on social media that the new department presents an opportunity to increase economic freedom in the US and get the government back on the right track.

Musk's Tweet Impact on Dogecoin
Despite the similar acronym, the new government agency is unrelated to the memecoin Dogecoin. However, following the elections and the announcement of the new department, Dogecoin reached a yearly high of $0.39. Previously, Musk faced accusations of manipulating Dogecoin prices, but the case was recently dismissed.
