Leadership and Objectives

领导力和目标

During his presidential campaign, Trump expressed the intention to appoint Elon Musk to his cabinet. After winning the nomination, Trump announced that Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would lead DOGE. However, Ramaswamy resigned on Inauguration Day to focus on his Ohio governor bid.

在总统竞选期间，特朗普表示有意任命埃隆·马斯克进入内阁。赢得提名后，特朗普宣布马斯克和维韦克·拉马斯瓦米将领导 DOGE。然而，拉马斯瓦米在就职日当天辞职，专注于俄亥俄州州长竞选。

DOGE's mission is to modernize government systems and reduce inefficiencies within federal agencies, with a target cost reduction of up to $2 trillion by 2026. The department's name is a nod to the popular memecoin Dogecoin, which has been promoted by Musk as a potential future payment method.

DOGE 的使命是实现政府系统现代化并减少联邦机构内部的低效率现象，目标是到 2026 年将成本削减高达 2 万亿美元。该部门的名称是对流行的模因币 Dogecoin 的致敬，马斯克将其宣传为未来潜在的支付方式方法。
