Elon Musk Celebrates Appearance Of Iconic DOGE Meme In The U.S. Senate

Elon Musk, head of the incoming “Department of Government Efficiency,” celebrated the surprising appearance of an iconic DOGE meme in the U.S. Senate on Thursday.

During a recent speech, Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate DOGE Caucus, placed a canvas of DOGE overtaking Washington, D.C., a variant of a meme that has gained cult status among Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) supporters.

The “DOGE Storm” as it’s popularly referred to, is used to indicate growing adoption and price rallies.

"So, I would invite anyone in this body, and everyone who may be watching at home who has ideas, to join this conversation and our movement—because DOGE is inevitable," Ernst said, emphasizing the importance of the newly established department.

Musk shared portions of the speech on X, using the U.S. national flag as an emoji.

Ernst will work with the so-called DOGE department, led by Musk and Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy, to regulate federal overspending and reduce regulations.

Musk has been a passionate supporter of the DOGE meme coin, and the acronym for the upcoming government department reflects this affinity.
