Elon Musk's DOGE: Can He Trim the US Budget?

埃隆·马斯克的 DOGE：他能削减美国预算吗？

According to crypto expert Arthur Hayes, Elon Musk's efforts to cut government spending as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may face challenges. In a tweet, Hayes argues that without congressional support, Musk's mandate will be difficult to fulfill.

加密货币专家阿瑟·海耶斯 (Arthur Hayes) 表示，埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 作为政府效率部 (DOGE) 负责人削减政府支出的努力可能面临挑战。海耶斯在推文中表示，如果没有国会的支持，马斯克的任务将难以完成。

Hayes further expressed his belief in Dogecoin ($DOGE), a meme coin popularized by Musk. Despite his concerns about Musk's ability to reduce the US budget, he stated that it would not affect his holdings in DOGE.

海耶斯进一步表达了他对狗狗币（$DOGE）的信念，这是一种由马斯克推广的模因币。尽管他对马斯克削减美国预算的能力感到担忧，但他表示这不会影响他持有的 DOGE 股份。

Responses to Hayes' post varied. Dan Held suggested that Musk is persistent, while Tryg expressed optimism that Musk's involvement could highlight government waste. Z-Slickola emphasized the importance of GOP support in implementing DOGE's functions.

对海耶斯帖子的回应各不相同。丹·赫尔德表示马斯克是坚持不懈的，而特里格则乐观地认为马斯克的参与可能会凸显政府的浪费。 Z-Slickola 强调了共和党支持实施 DOGE 职能的重要性。

Hayes's views resonated with many others. Frankie J. questioned where Musk and his team would find funds to cut and criticized Musk's lack of economic expertise.

海耶斯的观点引起了许多其他人的共鸣。弗兰基·J. 质疑马斯克和他的团队从哪里找到资金来削减开支，并批评马斯克缺乏经济专业知识。

DOGE's Potential to Save $2 Trillion

DOGE 有潜力节省 2 万亿美元

Government spending was a key issue in the recent US elections, with President-Elect Trump advocating for a leaner and more efficient government. Musk endorsed this idea, claiming that America could save $2 trillion by eliminating unnecessary expenses. Vivek Ramaswamy, Trump's pick to co-head DOGE with Musk, proposed austerity measures to slash trillions from the budget.

政府支出是最近美国大选的一个关键问题，当选总统特朗普主张建立一个更精简、更高效的政府。马斯克赞同这个想法，声称美国可以通过消除不必要的开支节省 2 万亿美元。特朗普选择与马斯克共同领导 DOGE 的维韦克·拉马斯瓦米 (Vivek Ramaswamy) 提出了削减预算数万亿美元的紧缩措施。

Musk's companies, particularly SpaceX, have benefited significantly from government contracts. It remains to be seen how the budgetary cuts he and Ramaswamy have pledged to implement will impact his own enterprises.

马斯克的公司，尤其是 SpaceX，从政府合同中获益匪浅。他和拉马斯瓦米承诺实施的预算削减将如何影响他自己的企业还有待观察。
