I don't think all the money went to waste. Considering the price jump of more than 50% when it was going done due to the problem of dust.
it was a waste, face it. they didn't even put DOGE logo on their team lmao. for all you know they bought new homes for themselves in jamiaca with ur money hahaha what a fail !
By mentioning in front of the world, in my opinion it would have created more problems for the comunity as some govt. Would have made a news comment or some regulation making it fall more in price.
