Elon Musk has rejected speculation that he might be able to get the U.S. government to adopt Dogecoin cryptocurrency.

埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）拒絕猜測他可能能夠讓美國政府採用多黴素加密貨幣。

Speaking during a town hall meeting reported in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Musk addressed rumors about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative he's leading for the Trump administration.

馬斯克在威斯康星州格林貝舉行的一次市政廳會議上發表講話，他談到了有關政府效率部（DOGE）倡議的謠言，他領導了特朗普政府。

Appearing at an America PAC event Sunday, Musk said he wasn't aware of any government plans to use Dogecoin or any other crypto as part of his work.

馬斯克說，在周日的一次美國PAC活動中，他說他不知道有任何政府計劃使用Dogecoin或其他任何加密貨幣作為他的工作的一部分。

This speculation arose due to the acronym of the department, which is known for its initiative to streamline and reduce the cost of government operations.

由於該部門的首字母縮寫而引起了這種猜測，該部門以其簡化和降低政府運營成本而聞名。

The chosen name reflects its actual mission: pursuing significant cost-cutting and operational streamlining within the federal government.

所選名稱反映了其實際任務：在聯邦政府內部追求大量的成本削減和運營精簡。

The project, launched earlier by U.S. President Trump, aims to reduce overall federal spending and improve government performance.

該項目由美國總統特朗普較早發起，旨在降低總體聯邦支出並提高政府績效。

Musk set a public target of improving government efficiency by at least 15%. He stressed the initiative focuses solely on achieving that specific operational improvement goal.

馬斯克設定了將政府效率提高至少15％的公共目標。他強調，該計劃僅著重於實現特定的運營改進目標。

What Actions Has the DOGE Initiative Taken?

Doge倡議採取了什麼行動？

The initiative, which includes a team of engineers and entrepreneurs brought in by Musk, has already spurred changes in federal operations, according to reports.

據報導，該計劃包括由馬斯克帶來的工程師和企業家團隊，已經刺激了聯邦業務的變化。

Key actions cited include massive layoffs announced across some federal departments and efforts to eliminate perceived inefficiencies or redundant spending programs.

引用的關鍵行動包括在一些聯邦部門宣布的大規模裁員以及消除效率低下或冗餘支出計劃的努力。

One specific target mentioned by Musk was the federal employee credit card system.

馬斯克提到的一個具體目標是聯邦員工信用卡系統。

Musk said his team discovered that about 4.6 million active government credit cards had been issued, despite the federal workforce comprising only about 2.3 to 2.4 million employees.

馬斯克說，他的團隊發現，儘管聯邦勞動力僅組成2.3至240萬名員工，但已經發行了約460萬個活躍的政府信用卡。

He publicly called this surplus “absurd” and pushed for immediate corrective actions, including card cancellations and system reforms.

他公開稱這次盈餘為“荒謬”，並推動了立即採取糾正措施，包括取消卡和系統改革。

When Will Musk’s Government Role End?

馬斯克的政府角色何時結束？

The billionaire plans to step down from leading the initiative once a target of $1 trillion in federal deficit reduction is achieved through the group's implemented efficiency measures, he told Fox News in a recent interview.

他在最近的一次採訪中告訴《福克斯新聞》，一旦該組織的實施效率措施實現了1萬億美元的聯邦赤字減少目標，億萬富翁計劃逐步領導該計劃。

He projected that this process of identifying and implementing cost-cutting measures might take about 130 days in total.

他預計，確定和實施削減成本措施的過程總共可能需要130天。

Musk stated that he expects to conclude his direct involvement with the initiative possibly by the end of May 2025.

馬斯克表示，他希望在2025年5月底之前直接參與該計劃的直接參與。

Musk's high-profile government role has drawn some public criticism, reportedly including instances of vandalism targeting Tesla locations.

馬斯克備受矚目的政府角色引起了一些公眾批評，據報導，包括針對特斯拉地點的故意破壞事件。

However, Musk himself described the government efficiency effort as potentially "a revolution" that could create lasting structural improvements for U.S. government finances if successful.

但是，馬斯克本人將政府效率的努力描述為潛在的“一場革命”，如果成功的話，這可能會為美國政府財政創造持久的結構性改進。
