Elon Musk's DOGE Forces Closure of GSA's Technology Division
March 3, 2025 - 11:28
In a surprising turn of events, the technology unit of the General Services Administration (GSA) has been shut down, largely attributed to the influence of Elon Musk's cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (DOGE). The GSA, which plays a crucial role in managing federal government procurement and property, has seen its technology initiatives significantly impacted by the rising popularity and market fluctuations of DOGE.
This shutdown raises questions about the future of federal technology projects and the role of cryptocurrencies in shaping government operations. Analysts suggest that the volatility of DOGE and its unexpected rise may have led to financial uncertainties within the GSA, prompting the decision to close its technology division.
The move signifies a broader trend where digital currencies are increasingly influencing traditional sectors, including government agencies. As the landscape of finance and technology continues to evolve, the implications of such closures could resonate across various levels of public service, potentially affecting future investments in government technology initiatives.
