A meme coin known as “Elon Hitler” launched Monday after billionaire Elon Musk was accused of performing a Nazi salute during a rally after President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The token, which is listed under the ticker symbol $EItler, was built on the Solana blockchain and is traded on the decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Raydium.

Tech mogul Elon Musk expressed optimism about his Department of Government Efficiency at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, even as lawsuits against the agency caused popular dog-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) to plummet.

Elon Musk shared his thoughts on how cryptocurrencies would affect the price of Dogecoin and Bitcoin if government overspending and inflation were reduced.

Dogecoin ( DOGE 5.88%) is climbing higher Tuesday despite a backdrop of pullbacks for the broader crypto market. The popular meme coin's token price was up 3% over the past 24 hours as of 11:40 a.m. ET. Bitcoin 's price was down 0.9%, and the price of Ethereum was down 1.6%.
