Elon Musk has said that the U.S. government has no intention of using Dogecoin despite rumors to the contrary.

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）表示，尽管有相反的谣言，但美国政府无意使用狗狗。

At a March 30 town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, hosted by his America PAC, Musk distanced the federal Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) from the cryptocurrency.

在3月30日在威斯康星州格林贝市的一个市政厅，由他的美国PAC主持，马斯克将联邦政府效率部（DOGE）与加密货币保持距离。

“There are no plans for the government to use Dogecoin or anything as far as I know,” Musk said. “They happen to be similar names, but really, we’re literally just trying to make the government 15% more efficient.”

马斯克说：“据我所知，政府没有计划使用狗狗币或其他任何计划。” “它们恰好是类似的名字，但实际上，我们实际上只是在试图使政府提高效率15％。”

Musk explained that the name originated from online suggestions.

马斯克解释说，该名称起源于在线建议。

“I was going to call it Government Efficiency Commission, but that's a super boring name. Then the internet said it needs to be Department of Government Efficiency. I was like, ‘The Internet is right.’”

“我本来将其称为政府效率委员会，但这是一个超级无聊的名字。然后互联网表示需要是政府效率部。我当时想，'互联网是正确的。'”

Yet despite this, in February, D.O.G.E.’s official website briefly displayed Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu mascot, fueling rumors of a crypto tie-in and sending the coin up 14% to a $58 billion market cap.

尽管如此，在2月，Doge的官方网站简要显示了Dogecoin的Shiba Inu Mascot，这激发了关于加密货币搭配的谣言，并将硬币提高了14％，达到了580亿美元的市值。

Previous attempts by Musk to promote Dogecoin have led to him being investigated by the SEC. In 2023, he was the subject of a market manipulation lawsuit.

马斯克以前试图促进狗狗币的尝试使他受到了SEC的调查。在2023年，他是市场操纵诉讼的主题。

By contrast, Musk’s recent comments have had little impact. Dogecoin is trading down 3.3% over the past 24 hours at $0.1654, according to CoinGecko.

相比之下，马斯克最近的评论几乎没有影响。据Coingecko称，在过去24小时内，Dogecoin在过去24小时内下跌3.3％，$ 0.1654。

First teased in August 2024, the D.O.G.E. initiative has become a centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s push to downsize the federal government. The project aims to slash spending, reduce regulatory overlap, and restructure federal agencies.

Doge倡议于2024年8月首次取笑，已成为唐纳德·特朗普总统推动缩小联邦政府尺寸的核心。该项目旨在削减支出，减少监管重叠和重组联邦机构。

Since its formal launch, the department has carried out mass layoffs and cut funding for programs related to climate change, scientific research, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

自正式发布以来，该部门已经进行了大规模裁员并削减了与气候变化，科学研究以及多样性，公平和包容性有关的计划的资金。

Agencies affected include the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the Social Security Administration (SSA). D.O.G.E. is currently facing several lawsuits attempting to roll back its power.

受影响的机构包括美国国际发展机构（USAID），消费者金融保护局（CFPB）和社会保障局（SSA）。 Doge目前面临着几起试图撤销其权力的诉讼。

Musk’s official role remains a subject of debate. The White House maintains he is serving as a senior advisor without policy authority, while Trump has publicly described him as the department’s leader.

马斯克的官方角色仍然是辩论的主题。白宫坚持没有政策机构担任高级顾问，而特朗普则公开形容他是该部门的领导人。

Musk has stated that he is not being paid for his work with the department.

马斯克表示，他没有为他在该部门的工作而获得报酬。
