In your second example, the following definition (also from Webster's) applies:
to obtain by energetic activity —usually used with up
hustle up new customers
try to hustle up some tickets to tonight's game
hustling up some grub

So Elon Musk is saying Dogecoin is dishonest, but your other quote means good things come to people who work hard.

Note from asker:
After watching this on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-CTLgeXZT0 We can see that Elon Musk was just joking saying that Dogecoin is tricky or a dishonest coin. Thank you |

Bruno Pavesi
: It's been a bit hard to follow Elon's opinions on Doge, he's praised and criticized the coin on some occasions. But I think this time Hustle is employed as your last note mentions. Your input was an interesting read, by the way!

to work hard
Hustle comes from the Dutch word for "shake" or "toss." As a noun, a hustle is a busy, hurried scene, like the hustle of the subway at rush hour. We also call the act of swindling a hustle, because it happens so fast. As a verb, hustle can either mean to swindle someone or to hurry them, or to work hard.
It is also defined as a swindle in which you cheat at gambling or persuade a person to buy worthless property.
