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·马斯克（Elon Musk）终于取消了与新的政府效率部（Doge）联系的谣言。在他在威斯康星州绿湾的美国PAC举行的市政厅活动中，马斯克澄清说，尽管命名巧合的巧合，但该机构与Meme加密货币无关。

"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."

马斯克说：“名字是相似的，但他们正在做两件不同的事情。” “因此，实际上，我将其称为政府效率委员会，但这是一个超级无聊的名字。然后互联网表示需要是政府效率部。我就像互联网是正确的。因此，我们将名称从政府效率委员会更改为政府效率部门，但据我所知，政府没有任何计划使用政府的计划。”

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.

谣言工厂已经搅动了一段时间，尤其是在社交媒体上，关于总督的业务融入了Doge。根据内部数据，该半政府的任务是简化联邦支出并消除官僚机构，据报道，自1月份正式发布以来，估计估计储蓄额为1300亿美元，平均每位纳税人的储蓄约为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.

随着故事的发展，马斯克的命名选择（无论是设计还是巧合）都会影响加密市场。 Dogecoin在2024年8月的Doge非正式宣布之后的几个月中经历了激增，这是由于该机构对代币采用的希望所推动的。当唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的2025年就职典礼后的几天，当象征性的手势以象征性的手势中，这一效果进一步扩大了，这一事件对该机构与代币之间的投机联系产生了临时信念。

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，马斯克周日在市政厅的评论似乎是确定的。他在对该理论的进一步且明确的解雇中补充说：“没有计划使用狗狗币或其他任何计划。”

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.

否认是因为Doge经历了市场价值的低迷。在过去的24小时内，该令牌下跌了3.8％，与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的《解放日》（Liberation Day）之后，整个加密货币部门的下降一致。尽管Dogecoin与政府之间缺乏任何正式联系，但令牌最近的集会（自八月以来，近70％升高）部分归因于Doge的叙事和Musk在其他情况下对Dogecoin的持续公众支持。

At press time, DOGE is trading at $0.16.
