Elon Musk 'Can't Wait' To Work With Trump In Cutting 'Waste And Needless Regulation' As Reports Suggest Ex-President May Tap Tesla CEO To Audit Federal Agencies
Former president Donald Trump is contemplating appointing Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk to a commission aimed at auditing U.S. agencies, ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The plan has been in discussion for months.
前總統特朗普正在考慮在2024年總統選舉之前任命特斯拉公司(納斯達克股票代碼:TSLA)首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克擔任一項旨在審計美國機構的委員會。這個計劃已經討論了幾個月。
What Happened: Trump and his advisers have been considering a commission led by business executives to review federal programs and identify cuts, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
據《華盛頓郵報》週一報道,特朗普和他的顧問一直在考慮由商業高管領導的委員會來審查聯邦項目,並確定削減的項目。
Musk wrote on X on Tuesday, "I can't wait. There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go." Musk's confirmatory response came following a report by Post about his potential role in the Trump administration's audit of federal agencies to identify programs for cuts.
馬斯克週二在X上寫道:「我等不及了。政府中存在大量浪費和不必要的監管,需要削減。」 馬斯克的確認回應是在郵報報道他可能在特朗普政府對聯邦機構進行審計以確定削減項目的潛在角色之後發出的。
I can't wait. There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go.

Other potential candidates for the commission include Fred Smith, former CEO of FedEx Corp (NYSE:FDX), and Robert Nardelli, former CEO of Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:HD), according to the report which cited two people familiar with the idea.
據報道,該委員會的其他潛在候選人還包括職業快遞公司(紐交所股票代碼:FDX)的前首席執行官弗雷德·史密斯和家得寶公司(紐交所代碼:HD)的前首席執行官羅伯特·納德里利,該報道援引了兩位熟悉這一想法的人的說法。
Previously, Musk has shown interest in participating in this "government efficiency commission" through multiple statements, including on his social media platform, X.
馬斯克此前通過多次聲明表達了參與這個「政府效率委員會」的興趣,包括在他的社交媒體平台X上。
In August, Musk posted, "I am willing to serve," alongside an AI-generated image of himself at a lectern labeled "Department of Government Efficiency," with the acronym DOGE. This has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest due to Musk's extensive business dealings with the federal government.
今年8月,馬斯克發表了「我願意服務」的帖子,並附上了一個由人工智能生成的他自己站在標有「政府效率部」字樣講臺前的圖片,上面有縮寫DOGE。這引發了對潛在利益衝突的擔憂,因爲馬斯克與聯邦政府有着廣泛的業務往來。
Trump has downplayed the idea of Musk joining his Cabinet but acknowledged that Musk could be a valuable consultant. Ethics experts worry that Musk's involvement could lead to conflicts between his business interests and the commission's goals, according to the report.
特朗普淡化了馬斯克加入他的內閣的想法,但承認馬斯克可能成爲一位有價值的顧問。根據報告,倫理專家擔心馬斯克的參與可能導致他的商業利益與委員會的目標之間產生衝突。
Trump's advisers are keen to enlist prominent corporate leaders to pinpoint federal excesses, mirroring past initiatives by 40th U.S. President Ronald Reagan and former Republican Senator Tom Coburn, who passed away in March 2020.
特朗普的顧問們熱衷於邀請知名的企業領袖來指出聯邦的過度,這與美國第40任總統羅納德·里根和前共和黨參議員湯姆·科伯恩提出的過去的倡議相似,湯姆·科伯恩於2020年3月離世。
Why It Matters: The potential appointment of Musk to a government efficiency commission comes amid increasing political engagement from the Tesla CEO. Last week, Musk reportedly hired a Republican strategist to steer his political activities, signaling a deeper dive into Republican politics and voter mobilization initiatives.
爲什麼重要:馬斯克被任命爲政府效率委員會的潛在任命出現在特斯拉首席執行官日益參與政治的背景下。據報道,上週馬斯克據稱聘請了一位共和黨策略家來引導他的政治活動,這表明他將更深入地參與共和黨政治和選民動員倡議。
Earlier in August, Musk conducted a "super unscientific" poll on X, asking voters if they preferred Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States. This poll further highlighted Musk's growing involvement in political discourse.
今年8月初,馬斯克在X上進行了一次「非常不科學」的投票,詢問選民們是否更喜歡特朗普還是副總統賀錦麗作爲下一任美國總統。這次投票進一步突顯了馬斯克在政治話語中的日益參與。
Speculations about the reasons behind the collaboration between Musk and Trump have been rife. According to CNBC, their partnership could significantly impact the future of the electric vehicle industry and beyond.
關於馬斯克與特朗普合作背後原因的猜測紛紛出現。根據CNBC的報道,他們的合作可能會對未來的電動汽車行業及其他行業產生重大影響。
Trump has publicly praised Musk, calling him a "fantastic guy" and a "brilliant person," further cementing their growing alliance.
特朗普公開讚揚馬斯克,稱他是一個「了不起的人」和一個「聰明的人」,進一步鞏固了他們不斷加強的聯盟。
