Don't let Trump and Musk memes ruin your day.

The beloved Doge meme, known for its endearing Shiba Inu dog and quirky captions, has officially made its way into the White House. Thanks to the recent appointment of Elon Musk to Donald Trump's incoming government, Doge has broken free from its internet culture roots and is ready to take on a new role in the political realm.

Musk, the world's richest man with an estimated worth of £161 billion, has been chosen by Trump to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. Along with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, they will work towards dismantling government bureaucracy, cutting wasteful expenditures, and restructuring federal agencies.

As expected, the internet has exploded with Doge memes in response to this news. Many have highlighted Musk's reputation for cost-cutting, referencing his past actions of axing 80% of X's workforce within a year and firing half of the employees in a single month. Others have joked about the department's acronym, DOGE, and its striking resemblance to the popular meme.

For those unfamiliar with Doge, it is a meme that has been around since 2010 and is based on a mischievous Shiba Inu dog. It has evolved into a meme of many meanings, often used with broken English and a hint of sarcasm. The meme's popularity even led to the creation of a cryptocurrency called Dogecoin, which has been dubbed a "meme coin."

Musk, who has been a fan of the meme for years, even changed Twitter's blue bird logo to Doge for a brief period of time. This resulted in a surge of over 36,000% in Dogecoin's price, leading to a $258 billion lawsuit against him for allegedly manipulating the coin's value. Despite this, his lawyers have described his public statements about Dogecoin as "innocuous and often silly tweets."

With Musk's love for the meme and his new position in the government, it seems like Doge has truly come full circle. And while it may not be a literal government agency, DOGE will still provide valuable advice and guidance to the White House from the outside. So, let's all raise a glass of that mysterious white liquid and toast to the newest member of the White House team - Doge.
