....But with current news it wants us to rethink and ask is doge coin dead?
No doubt Elon help the coin become more popular to the mainstream but not enough to bring it down even if he decides to withdraw his support. Dogecoin survived the years when it has no real lead developer or no significant updates on the chain level and has nothing but a community. It remains a popular choice among users like gamblers who wants to transfer funds with cheaper fees that's why it's present in many casino deposit options.
Not I think it was easy for him to give up and leave Dogecoin because I see that he also gain benefits from this project. Perhaps, we can see huge support from the community bringing Dogecoin to survive in many market crashes. Though we know that Dogecoins is a meme coin but we can't deny that it has also been useful in other ways ( transaction fees). Many people had just missed it but for some people, this coin is valuable to them, and can't afford to lose it in their hands.
