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.

科技亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）周日在使用Dogecoin（Crypto：Doge）的任何可能性都击落了他自己的主动性，即政府效率部的效率，这是对基于Meme的硬币的同名。

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.

发生了什么：在威斯康星州格林贝举行的市政厅活动中，穆克被问及是否可以使用Dogecoin区块链来提高政府透明度，这一想法最近是由Goods Morning America Studio的观众提出的。

“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首席执行官回答说：“好吧，名字相似，但他们做了两件截然不同的事情。”

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.

马斯克说，他最初计划将该部门命名为“政府效率委员会”，但在收到互联网上的建议后，决定将其更改为政府效率。

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

马斯克说：“但是，据我所知，政府没有计划使用狗狗币或其他任何计划。”

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.

该声明是在马斯克先前的评论将模因硬币投资与赌场游戏进行比较的评论之后。他曾建议投资者不要将他们的寿险储蓄投入到这种资产中。

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.

这很重要：马斯克是Dogecoin的忠实拥护者，他的社交媒体帖子经常导致以狗为主题的加密货币集会。

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.

特斯拉还用来在该期权暂停该期权之前接受其商品付款。去年，马斯克说，他想带回人们与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）是一项旨在削减联邦支出并消除令人窒息的法规的倡议。它因寻求获得敏感政府系统的访问而受到批评，例如财政部及其广泛的范围。尽管有反弹，但前总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）仍继续支持这项倡议。

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