Elon Musk, the head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), has quashed rumors of the government agency adopting the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.

美国政府效率部（Doge）负责人埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）取消了对采用Dogecoin加密货币的政府机构的谣言。

Speaking at an America PAC town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Sunday, Musk said there were "no plans" for the department to use Dogecoin or any other cryptocurrency.

马斯克周日在威斯康星州绿湾的美国Pac市政厅讲话时说，该部门没有计划使用Dogecoin或任何其他加密货币。

"I was going to call it the 'Government Efficiency Commission' but that's a super boring name. Then the internet said it needs to be the Department of Government Efficiency. I was like 'Internet is right', " Musk explained.

马斯克解释说：“我将其称为'政府效率委员会'，但这是一个超级无聊的名字。然后互联网表示必须是政府效率部。我就像'互联网是正确的'。”

He added that the naming choice was more about branding than cryptocurrency connections.

他补充说，命名选择更多的是品牌而不是加密货币连接。

"There are no plans for the government to use dogecoin or anything," he said.

他说：“政府没有计划使用狗狗币或其他任何计划。”

The similarity in names had fueled speculation about potential government adoption of Dogecoin. This was further heightened when the official D.O.G.E. website briefly displayed the Dogecoin logo for a few hours after President Trump's inauguration.

名称的相似性引发了人们对潜在采用Dogecoin的猜测。当特朗普总统就职几个小时后，官方的Doge网站短暂显示Dogecoin徽标时，进一步加剧了这一点。

— DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) March 31, 2025This temporary logo appearance had given more weight to rumors of the meme coin playing a role in the new agency. It also sent Dogecoin prices up 14% to a $58 billion market cap in February.

- dogedesigner（@cb_doge）2025年3月31日，此临时徽标外观给了对模因硬币在新机构中发挥作用的谣言。它还使Dogecoin价格上涨了14％，至2月的580亿美元市值。

Musk has long been associated with Dogecoin. He has promoted the cryptocurrency through tweets and public statements, even defending its inflationary model as a feature that supports everyday transactions.

长期以来，马斯克一直与狗狗币有关。他通过推文和公开声明促进了加密货币，甚至捍卫其通货膨胀模型作为支持日常交易的功能。

His past Dogecoin promotions have also drawn attention from regulators. In 2023, Musk faced a market manipulation lawsuit from the SEC over his Dogecoin-related activities.

他过去的Dogecoin促销活动也引起了监管机构的关注。 2023年，马斯克（Musk）在SEC就与Dogecoin相关的活动面临市场操纵诉讼。

D.O.G.E.'s Cost-Cutting MissionThe D.O.G.E. department was first introduced in August 2024 as part of the Trump administration's initiative to downsize the federal government.

Doge的削减成本任务Doge部门于2024年8月首次推出，这是特朗普政府裁定缩小联邦政府规模的倡议的一部分。

The program aims to cut government spending and streamline operations, with Musk stating a goal of making government "15% more efficient."

该计划旨在削减政府的支出和简化行动，马斯克指出的目标是使政府“提高效率15％”。

Since its formal launch in January, the department claims to have saved an estimated $130 billion. This amounts to an average saving of $840 per taxpayer, according to data provided by D.O.G.E..

自1月份正式启动以来，该部门声称已节省了估计的1300亿美元。根据Doge提供的数据，这相当于每个纳税人的平均节省840美元。

The team has targeted several areas for cost-cutting. One key focus was federal credit card usage, where they found the government had issued 4.6 million cards despite having only 2.3 to 2.4 million employees.

该团队针对削减成本的几个领域。一个重点是联邦信用卡的使用，尽管只有2.3至240万名员工，他们发现政府已发行了460万张卡。

Musk called this oversight "absurd" and pushed for immediate reductions. The department has also carried out mass layoffs and cut funding for various programs.

马斯克称这种监督为“荒谬”，并立即降低。该部门还进行了大规模裁员并为各种计划进行了资金。

Among the agencies affected are the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the Social Security Administration (SSA). Programs related to climate change, scientific research, and diversity initiatives have seen funding slashed.

在受影响的机构中，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）。与气候变化，科学研究和多样性倡议有关的计划已削减了资金。

Musk's exact role within the department remains somewhat unclear. The White House describes him as a senior advisor without policy authority, while President Trump has referred to Musk as the department's leader.

马斯克在部门中的确切作用仍然不清楚。白宫将他描述为没有政策权限的高级顾问，而特朗普总统则称马斯克为该部门的领导人。

In a recent interview with Fox News, Musk stated that he will step down from his position after achieving a $1 trillion reduction in the U.S. federal deficit.

在最近接受福克斯新闻（Fox News）采访时，马斯克表示，他将在美国联邦赤字减少1万亿美元后辞职。

He expressed confidence that most of the work could be completed within 130 days, which would involve cutting programs and streamlining operations to become "15% more efficient."

他对大多数工作都可以在130天内完成，这将涉及切割计划和简化操作以“提高效率15％”。

Based on this timeline, Musk estimated that his tenure with D.O.G.E. could end by late May. He described his work as "a revolution" that would leave America in a "much stronger financial position."

基于这个时间表，马斯克估计他在总督的任期可能会在五月下旬结束。他将他的工作描述为“一场革命”，这将使美国处于“更强大的财务状况”。

While supporters view the efficiency-driven approach positively, critics argue that the department holds too much power and faces insufficient oversight.

尽管支持者对效率驱动的方法有积极的看法，但批评家认为该部门拥有太多的权力，并且面临不足的监督。

Several lawsuits are currently challenging D.O.G.E.'s authority to make such sweeping changes. Critics claim that federal programs and contracts have been slashed without proper congressional approval.

目前，几项诉讼挑战了Doge进行此类彻底改变的权力。批评家声称，未经国会批准，联邦计划和合同已被削减。

In response, Musk has defended the team's actions, asserting that all decisions were carefully considered and no programs were canceled without good reason. He maintains that the programs being cut were already approved by Congress.

作为回应，马斯克捍卫了团队的行动，断言所有决定都经过精心考虑，没有充分理由取消任何计划。他坚持认为，被削减的计划已经获得国会批准。

Following Musk's recent comments about Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency's price dropped by 3.5% in 24 hours, currently trading at $0.1654 according to data from CoinGecko.

根据Musk最近对Dogecoin的评论，根据Coingecko的数据，该加密货币的价格在24小时内下降了3.5％，目前的交易价格为0.1654美元。

However, this decline was in line with broader market trends rather than a direct response to his statements.

但是，这种下降符合更广泛的市场趋势，而不是对他的陈述的直接反应。

Despite the name confusion, the meme coin and government agency continue to operate in separate spheres.

尽管有混乱的名称，但模因硬币和政府机构仍在单独的领域运作。

It's worth noting that Musk is not being paid for his work with the D.O.G.E.

值得注意的是，马斯克没有为他在总督的工作而获得报酬
