Dogecoin (DOGE) surged more than 6% on Wednesday, trading at $0.2029, after Elon Musk publicly walked back his highly publicized spat with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Key Takeaways:
Dogecoin jumped over 6% after Elon Musk publicly apologized for his feud with President Trump. The six-day online clash between Musk and Trump included personal attacks and political fallout. DOGE’s rally was backed by a 24% surge in trading volume, reflecting renewed retail interest.The billionaire entrepreneur, who had spent the past week escalating a bitter online feud with Trump, took to X to issue a rare mea culpa, admitting his comments “went too far.”
“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote early Wednesday morning on the platform he owns.
Six Days of Heated Exchange Between Musk and Trump
The reversal follows six days of heated exchanges sparked by Musk’s attack on Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which he had described as “a disgusting abomination.”
The spending package, which passed with support from both parties, had drawn sharp criticism from Musk, who called on citizens to pressure lawmakers to “KILL the BILL.”
Trump responded by calling Musk’s actions “disappointing” and questioned his loyalty, setting off a volley of increasingly personal attacks between the two, including references to SpaceX contracts and explosive allegations involving the late Jeffrey Epstein.
Musk even shared an old video of Trump and Epstein together, fanning the flames.
The back-and-forth escalated across their respective platforms, X and Truth Social, culminating in threats from Trump to revoke Musk’s government contracts and a retaliatory post from Musk suggesting he would decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.
The feud drew widespread attention, with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon calling for Musk to be deported and late-night television turning the incident into fodder.
However, the Musk-Trump rift has since been overshadowed by mass protests in Los Angeles over Trump’s immigration policies and his deployment of the National Guard.
While the political feud dominated headlines, DOGE quietly rallied.
The memecoin, often seen as a proxy for Musk’s public sentiment, climbed over 6.60% in the past 24 hours, with its market cap rising to $30.37 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
Volume also saw a 24% increase, reaching $1.61 billion, signaling renewed retail activity.
