Sadly Sporklin a Dogecoin developer for 7 years loses her fight against cancer
In one of her last post she is clear on how much involvement/ impact Musk has had.
“Elon has nothing to do with Dogecoin which has been made clear repeatedly … Elon has come to play with Dogecoin for years on social media, it was only recently that people tried to turn that into something it is not … Things have not changed…Elon is not on board with anything, Elon does not have anything to do with the project, the listings, the engagements…Nothing. He memes and trolls.”

Core developer Ross Nicoll steps away from the project referring to stress, a potential lawsuit against the developers and lack of funds the foundation has to pay him anything at all despite the Billionaire supposingly having Devs back.

In a Twitter thread another Dogecoin developer Michi Lumin again paints a picture of an underfunded foundation….
“When influencers say that the Foundation has tons of funding lined up, or that we’re building out infrastructure – and people believe that – it actually harms the @DogecoinFdn because people who would otherwise be willing to help go “oh, they have it all taken care of”, This bothers me because we’re not actually a club full of rich people. Many of us still work day jobs to make ends meet but still want to see #dogecoin proceed and succeed. Tales of palace intrigue end up being things we have to spend time answering to, as well…and the propensity for certain sections of the community and media to be thirsty for the next scandal or conspiracy actually puts a lot of strain on an already fairly stressed crew.” “Yes, we’re trying to get sustaining funding in order to do some of the ‘big ideas’ we want to pursue. A lot of what you read on social media in regard to this is completely made up for clicks and engagement-We still have a lot of hard work to do. Wish ppl wouldn’t make it harder.”
On the whole after over a year there has been no dramatic revelation or support for Dogecoin development.. think it’s safe to deduce that once again…. Elon Musk is most likely Twitters biggest spam bot 💩
