Dogecoin: The People’s Crypto
Elon Musk has been a vocal supporter of Dogecoin, often referring to it as “the people’s crypto.” His support stems from its simplicity and the enthusiasm of its community. Unlike Bitcoin, which is seen as a store of value, Dogecoin is designed for transactions, making it more practical for everyday use. Musk’s belief in Dogecoin is rooted in its decentralized nature and the potential for widespread adoption.
A Biblical Perspective on Dogecoin
The Bible encourages financial integrity and warns against speculative wealth accumulation.
- Caution Against Speculation: While Dogecoin provides accessibility, Scripture warns against get-rich-quick schemes (Proverbs 13:11, “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it”).
- Stewardship: Christians are called to be wise stewards of their resources (Luke 16:10-11). Investments should be based on wisdom, not greed or impulsiveness.

The Role of AI in Society
Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword—on one hand, it holds immense potential to improve productivity and solve complex problems, but on the other, it raises ethical and existential concerns. Musk has repeatedly warned about the dangers of AI, advocating for regulatory oversight to ensure its development aligns with human interests. His focus on AI is not just about creating smarter machines but ensuring that these technologies benefit humanity rather than pose a threat.
A Biblical Perspective on AI
Technology, including AI, should be used with wisdom and discernment.
- Ethical Concerns: AI raises questions about human dignity and free will. Genesis 1:26 emphasizes that humans are made in God’s image, meaning that technology should not diminish human worth – while machines, computers, and computer machine learning is made in man’s image.
- ‘They said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower [A.I., Artificial Intelligence] whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.’ Genesis 11:4 (NKJV)
- Trust in God, Not Machines: Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds believers to trust in the Lord rather than human ingenuity alone. Technology should serve humanity, not become an idol where humanity is serving technology.
Boring Cities: A Solution to Urban Congestion
Musk’s vision extends beyond space travel and electric vehicles—his company, The Boring Company, aims to solve urban congestion through underground tunnels. Traditional transportation systems are inefficient, and Musk believes that underground transit can provide a high-speed, low-cost alternative to above-ground traffic. By reducing commute times and improving city infrastructure, Boring Cities could revolutionize urban mobility.
A Biblical Perspective on Urban Planning
- Wisdom in Innovation: The Bible encourages careful planning (Proverbs 21:5, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance”), suggesting that advancements in infrastructure can be beneficial if they promote human flourishing.
- Justice and Accessibility: Urban development should consider the needs of all people, especially the poor (Isaiah 1:17, “Seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause”).
Addressing Government Efficiency
The Public’s Demand for Change
Musk acknowledges that government efficiency is one of the most pressing issues today. He points out that when polled, it consistently ranks as a top concern among voters across all demographics. While the public overwhelmingly supports improvements, certain elements within the bureaucracy resist change, as reform efforts often involve shifting resources from the public to the private sector.

The Goal: Reducing Bureaucracy
Musk’s primary objective for the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), which he is leading under President Donald J. Trump for the United States of America, is to reduce the size of the federal government while making it more accountable to the people. Currently, bureaucracy often operates independently of public interest, leading to inefficiencies and excessive regulation. Over time, these regulations accumulate, stifling innovation and economic growth. His goal is to roll back these restrictions to foster a more dynamic economy with real GDP growth of 4-5% annually. He is auditing the entire executive branch of the U.S. government and posting his findings while exposing gross abuses of taxpayers’ money by government officials at DOGE.gov, believing that transparency is the best disinfectant for a democratic republic government established by the people.
The Economic Impact of Reform
Musk argues that cutting government spending by just 3-4% of GDP could free up over $1 trillion annually, helping to curb inflation and lower interest rates. If the U.S. government reduces its borrowing, it will directly benefit everyday Americans by making mortgages, car loans, and student debt more affordable.
Making Change Permanent
A key challenge with government reform is ensuring that changes remain in place beyond a single administration. Musk believes that eliminating entire agencies, rather than simply reducing their budgets, is the best way to make lasting improvements. If an agency is completely dismantled, it is far more difficult for future administrations to reinstate inefficient bureaucratic structures.
The Role of Technology in Government Reform
Outdated Systems and Waste
One of the biggest inefficiencies in government is its reliance on outdated technology. Musk highlights the example of government employee retirement processing, which still depends on manual calculations and physical paperwork stored in an underground mine. A digital system would vastly improve efficiency, yet progress on modernization has been painfully slow.
Innovation Over Cost-Cutting
Musk emphasizes that improving technology naturally reduces costs. Many government programs continue to exist despite being obsolete, draining resources that could be better used elsewhere. He points to USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy as examples of agencies that have lost their relevance. Additionally, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in government are being cut in favor of focusing on core educational improvements.
A Model for Reform: Lessons from Twitter
Musk’s approach to government reform mirrors his strategy at Twitter, where he reduced staff by 80% while improving functionality. He believes that a leaner, more efficient workforce leads to better outcomes. To ease the transition, he is offering generous exit packages for government employees, allowing them time to find new opportunities in the private sector.
A Biblical Perspective on Government Efficiency
Musk’s stance on reducing bureaucracy and improving government accountability aligns with biblical principles about leadership and governance.
- Limited Government and Accountability: Romans 13:1-4 states that governments are instituted by God to promote good and restrain evil. However, governments should serve the people rather than become oppressive (Exodus 18:21).
- Avoiding Waste and Corruption: Proverbs 29:4 warns, “By justice a king builds up the land, but he who exacts gifts tears it down.” Governments should be efficient and just, not wasteful.
- Serving the People: Jesus taught that leadership is about servanthood (Mark 10:42-45). If government reforms prioritize service over control, they align more closely with biblical principles.

Economic Impact and Wealth Redistribution
Musk argues for reducing government spending to free up resources for economic growth. While efficiency is beneficial, the Bible cautions against policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthy at the expense of the poor.
- Justice and Fairness: Proverbs 31:9 calls for defending the rights of the poor and needy.
- Responsible Stewardship: Luke 12:48 teaches that “to whom much is given, much will be required,” meaning economic policies should balance growth with care for the disadvantaged.

Conclusion: Building a Stronger Future with Biblical Wisdom
Elon Musk’s vision for efficiency, innovation, and decentralization presents opportunities and challenges. His approach to cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, urban planning, and government reform reflects a desire to create a more efficient and prosperous society.
From a biblical perspective, these advancements should be guided by wisdom, justice, and humility before God. While technology and economic efficiency can promote human flourishing, they must be evaluated through the lens of Scripture to ensure that progress serves humanity in ways that align with God’s moral order.
Musk’s efforts could lay the foundation for long-term prosperity, not just for the next few years, but for generations to come—provided that they are grounded in principles of fairness, integrity, and service to all people.
