Elon Musk has finally quashed rumors of Dogecoin being linked to the new Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). During a town hall event for his America PAC in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Musk clarified that the agency has no connection to the meme cryptocurrency, despite the playful coincidence in naming.

埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）終於取消了與新的政府效率部（Doge）聯繫的謠言。在他在威斯康星州綠灣的美國PAC舉行的市政廳活動中，馬斯克澄清說，儘管命名巧合的巧合，但該機構與Meme加密貨幣無關。

"The names are similar, but they are doing two different things," Musk stated, responding to a question about the speculation. "So, in fact, I was going to call it the Government Efficiency Commission but that’s a super boring name. Then the internet said it needs to be the Department of Government Efficiency. I was like Internet is right. So we changed the name from Government Efficiency Commission to Department of Government Efficiency but there are no plans for the government to use Dogecoin or anything, as far as I know."

馬斯克說：“名字是相似的，但他們正在做兩件不同的事情。” “因此，實際上，我將其稱為政府效率委員會，但這是一個超級無聊的名字。然後互聯網表示需要是政府效率部。我就像互聯網是正確的。因此，我們將名稱從政府效率委員會更改為政府效率部門，但據我所知，政府沒有任何計劃使用政府的計劃。”

The rumor mill had been churning for some time, especially on social media, about DOGE being integrated into D.O.G.E.'s operations. The semi-governmental body, tasked with streamlining federal spending and eliminating bureaucracy, has reportedly achieved an estimated $130 billion in savings since its official launch in January, averaging to about $840 in savings per taxpayer, according to internal data.

謠言工廠已經攪動了一段時間，尤其是在社交媒體上，關於總督的業務融入了Doge。根據內部數據，該半政府的任務是簡化聯邦支出並消除官僚機構，據報導，自1月份正式發布以來，估計估計儲蓄額為1300億美元，平均每位納稅人的儲蓄約為840美元。

As the tale unfolded, Musk's naming choices—whether by design or coincidence—had an impact in the crypto markets. Dogecoin experienced a surge in the months following D.O.G.E.'s informal announcement in August 2024, fueled by hopes of the token's adoption by the agency. This effect was further amplified when, in a symbolic gesture, the D.O.G.E. website briefly displayed a Dogecoin logo in the days following Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration, an incident that generated temporary belief in the speculative link between the agency and the token.

隨著故事的發展，馬斯克的命名選擇（無論是設計還是巧合）都會影響加密市場。 Dogecoin在2024年8月的Doge非正式宣布之後的幾個月中經歷了激增，這是由於該機構對代幣採用的希望所推動的。當唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的2025年就職典禮後的幾天，當象徵性的手勢以像徵性的手勢中，這一效果進一步擴大了，這一事件對該機構與代幣之間的投機聯繫產生了臨時信念。

However, Musk's comments on Sunday at the town hall seem definitive. "There are no plans for the government to use dogecoin or anything," he added, in a further and unambiguous dismissal of the theory.

但是，馬斯克週日在市政廳的評論似乎是確定的。他在對該理論的進一步且明確的解僱中補充說：“沒有計劃使用狗狗幣或其他任何計劃。”

The denial comes as DOGE experiences a slight downturn in market value. The token is down 3.8% over the past 24 hours, consistent with broader declines across the crypto sector in wake of US President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day." Despite the lack of any official ties between Dogecoin and the government, the token's recent rally—showing a rise of nearly 70% since August—has been partially attributed to the D.O.G.E. narrative and Musk's ongoing public support for Dogecoin in other contexts.

否認是因為Doge經歷了市場價值的低迷。在過去的24小時內，該令牌下跌了3.8％，與美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的《解放日》（Liberation Day）之後，整個加密貨幣部門的下降一致。儘管Dogecoin與政府之間缺乏任何正式聯繫，但令牌最近的集會（自八月以來，近70％升高）部分歸因於Doge的敘事和Musk在其他情況下對Dogecoin的持續公眾支持。

At press time, DOGE is trading at $0.16.
