Elon Musk’s limited federal duties, restricted to 130 days per year, raise questions about the potential impact on both government reform and cryptocurrency markets. While his appointment as a special government employee at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) allows him to focus on public service while maintaining ties to his private companies, this arrangement has sparked mixed market reactions, especially regarding Dogecoin. 1 His involvement in governmental projects alongside his work at Tesla and SpaceX has intensified discussions surrounding potential intersections between the technological fields and public policy. 2 President Donald Trump, a supporter of Musk’s appointment, stated that he expects Musk to return to private ventures soon.
