Does Elon not have much influence on the government as much as we think or he just did not push for doge at all?
Elon Musk is extending Doge so much, there are better coins that deserve to be on the US government list; if he wants to shill Doge do it in his own backyard and do not interfere with the government. Elon should not interfere in the government's policy; he is a profit-driven person; all his decisions will be to advance his companies and his interests.
Even if the US government declined regarding Dogecoin, there is nothing we can do about it because for sure they did that because they have higher priorities than that matter. Maybe right now they can't pay attention to it but in the coming times it is possible that they will pay attention to it.
So the doge community is probably still staying positive, because even if this doesn't happen, they will still have the option to make dogecoin a payment mode on Elon Musk's X platform or maybe Elon Musk is already using it in my opinion.
