Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, has undergone a significant shift in his political stance. Five years ago, he advocated for employees refraining from discussing politics at work, but now he seems open to working with Republicans, including members of Donald Trump’s inner circle. 5 A recent X post by Armstrong indicated that employees of his Dogecoin team (DOGE) will be welcome to assist in cost-cutting changes after leaving government service. This follows an interview where the DOGE team staffer revealed feeling ostracized from Harvard University, prompting Armstrong’s offer of accelerated onboarding at Coinbase. 5 He encouraged them to consider creating a more efficient financial system for the world while offering support through his platform.
