Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday shot down any possibility of the U.S. government using Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) despite his own initiative, the Department of Government Efficiency, being a namesake to the meme-based coin.

科技億萬富翁埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）週日在使用Dogecoin（Crypto：Doge）的任何可能性都擊落了他自己的主動性，即政府效率部的效率，這是對基於Meme的硬幣的同名。

What Happened: During a town hall event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Musk was asked if the Dogecoin blockchain could be used to improve government transparency, an idea that was recently floated by an audience member at the Good Morning America studio.

發生了什麼：在威斯康星州格林貝舉行的市政廳活動中，穆克被問及是否可以使用Dogecoin區塊鏈來提高政府透明度，這一想法最近是由Goods Morning America Studio的觀眾提出的。

“Well the names are similar, but they’re doing two very different things,” responded the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO, who also quipped that they should start a band called "Good Morning America, Good Morning Studio."

特斯拉（NASDAQ：TSLA）和SpaceX首席執行官回答說：“好吧，名字相似，但他們做了兩件截然不同的事情。”

Musk said he had initially planned to name the department the “Government Efficiency Commission,” but decided to change it to the Department of Government Efficiency after receiving suggestions on the internet.

馬斯克說，他最初計劃將該部門命名為“政府效率委員會”，但在收到互聯網上的建議後，決定將其更改為政府效率。

“But there are no plans for the government to use Dogecoin or anything as far as I know,” Musk stated.

馬斯克說：“但是，據我所知，政府沒有計劃使用狗狗幣或其他任何計劃。”

This statement follows Musk’s previous comments comparing investments in meme coins to casino games. He had advised investors not to put their life savings into such assets.

該聲明是在馬斯克先前的評論將模因硬幣投資與賭場遊戲進行比較的評論之後。他曾建議投資者不要將他們的壽險儲蓄投入到這種資產中。

Why It Matters: Musk is a known fan of Dogecoin, and his social media posts have often led to rallies in the dog-themed cryptocurrency.

這很重要：馬斯克是Dogecoin的忠實擁護者，他的社交媒體帖子經常導致以狗為主題的加密貨幣集會。

Tesla also used to accept Dogecoin payments for its merchandise before the option was suspended. Last year, Musk said he would like to bring back the possibility for people to pay for Tesla merchandise with Dogecoin.

特斯拉還用來在該期權暫停該期權之前接受其商品付款。去年，馬斯克說，他想帶回人們與Dogecoin支付特斯拉商品的可能性。

The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, is an initiative that aims to cut federal spending and eliminate stifling regulations. It has faced criticism for seeking access to sensitive government systems, such as the Treasury Department, and for its broad scope. Despite the backlash, former President Donald Trump continues to support the initiative.

政府效率部（或多吉）是一項旨在削減聯邦支出並消除令人窒息的法規的倡議。它因尋求獲得敏感政府系統的訪問而受到批評，例如財政部及其廣泛的範圍。儘管有反彈，但前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）仍繼續支持這項倡議。

At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1638, remaining nearly flat in the 24-hour period, according to Benzinga Pro.

根據Benzinga Pro的數據，在撰寫本文時，Doge的交易價格為0.1638美元，在24小時內保持幾乎平坦。
