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.
前總統唐納德·特朗普正在考慮在2024年總統大選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·馬斯克加入一個旨在審計美國機構的委員會。該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.
發生了什麼:《華盛頓郵報》週一報道,特朗普及其顧問們一直在考慮成立一個由企業高管領導的委員會,負責審查聯邦計劃並確定削減措施。
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。政府中有大量的浪費和不必要的監管需要消除。」在《郵報》報道他在特朗普政府爲確定削減計劃而對聯邦機構的審計中可能扮演的角色之後,馬斯克作出了確認性回應。
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.
報告援引兩位熟悉這一想法的人士的話說,該委員會的其他潛在候選人包括聯邦快遞公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:FDX)前首席執行官弗雷德·史密斯和家得寶公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:HD)前首席執行官羅伯特·納德利。
Previously, Musk has shown interest in participating in this "government efficiency commission" through multiple statements, including on his social media platform, X.
此前,馬斯克曾通過多份聲明,包括在他的社交媒體平台X上發表聲明,表示有興趣參與這個 「政府效率委員會」。
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.
8月,馬斯克在標有 「政府效率部」 的講臺上發佈了 「我願意服務」,旁邊還有一張由人工智能生成的自己的照片,首字母縮寫爲DOGE。由於馬斯克與聯邦政府有廣泛的商業往來,這引發了人們對潛在利益衝突的擔憂。
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內閣的想法,但承認馬斯克可能是一位有價值的顧問。報告稱,倫理專家擔心,馬斯克的參與可能會導致其商業利益與委員會目標之間的衝突。
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企業領導人來查明聯邦政府的過度行爲,這反映了美國第40任總統羅納德·里根和2020年3月去世的前共和黨參議員湯姆·科本過去的舉措。
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.
爲何重要:在特斯拉首席執行官的政治參與度不斷增加之際,馬斯克可能會被任命爲政府效率委員會成員。據報道,上週,馬斯克聘請了一位共和黨戰略家來指導他的政治活動,這表明他將更深入地研究共和黨政治和選民動員計劃。
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.
8月初,馬斯克對X進行了一次 「超級不科學」 的民意調查,詢問選民他們更喜歡特朗普還是副總統卡馬拉·賀錦麗作爲下一任美國總統。這項民意調查進一步凸顯了馬斯克越來越多地參與政治話語。
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.
關於馬斯克和特朗普合作背後原因的猜測盛行。據CNBC報道,他們的合作伙伴關係可能會對電動汽車行業及其他領域的未來產生重大影響。
Trump has publicly praised Musk, calling him a "fantastic guy" and a "brilliant person," further cementing their growing alliance.
特朗普公開稱讚了馬斯克,稱他爲 「了不起的人」 和 「才華橫溢的人」,進一步鞏固了他們不斷壯大的聯盟。
