According to Reuters, the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said today that if elected, he would consider terminating the $7500 tax credit for the purchase of electric vehicles, and would be open to the appointment of Tesla CEO Elon Musk to the cabinet or the employment of consultants.

Trump said in an interview with Reuters after a campaign in York, Pennsylvania: "Tax credits and tax incentives are usually not a good thing." When asked whether he would consider appointing Musk as a consultant or joining the cabinet, Trump said yes and said:

He is a very intelligent person, of course I will. If he is willing, of course I will. He is an outstanding guy

Shortly after the report was released, Sir Doge of the Coin, a dog coin walker, invented a department called "Department of Government Efficiency", abbreviated as "DOGE" (the same token code as the dog coin), and jokingly indicated that Trump should choose Musk as the director of the government efficiency department. Musk responded to this by calling it the "perfect name," and his response drove up the price of Dogecoin ($DOGE) by over 2%.

Later, Musk sent a document on the X platform, saying "I am willing to serve", and attached a picture of him becoming an official of the Government Efficiency Department, responding humorously to Trump's statement that he would consider hiring him as a consultant. At the same time as Musk's post, the price of Dogecoin showed another reaction, rising by about 1.6%. The DOGE transaction price before the deadline is $0.1045.
