On March 20, 2025.
President Donald Trump delivered virtual remarks at a cryptocurrency industry.
conference at 10:40 a.m. Eastern Time, as reported by Reuters. This engagement aligns with his administration's ongoing initiatives to position the United States as a leader in digital assets. In September 2024, Trump expressed intentions to make America the "world capital of crypto and Bitcoin," highlighting a commitment to embracing emerging industries.
In line with these objectives, Trump appointed Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established by an executive order in 2024. DOGE aims to significantly reduce federal spending by up to $2 trillion by identifying and eliminating wasteful expenditures. This initiative has faced backlash, including lawsuits from Democrats and unions, due to concerns over its impact on public services and employment.
While Musk has been actively involved in government efficiency efforts, there is no indication from available sources that he participated in Trump's digital assets speech on March 20, 2025. Therefore, any plans involving both Trump and Musk at the event have not been documented.
