马斯克警告民主党可能发起国会调查SpaceX创始人埃隆·马斯克周三警告民主党，针对可能发起的国会调查，他写道：“靠剑生，靠剑亡。”
Musk warns Democrats over possible congressional probes SpaceX founder Elon Musk warned Democrats over a possible congressional probe on Wednesday, writing, “live by the sword, die by the sword.”
马斯克在其拥有的社交平台X上回应《政治报》（Politico）一篇关于他担任政府效率部（DOGE）负责人从事有争议工作以及可能切断乌克兰Starlink接入的报道时写道：“那些挑衅我的人应该明白，我会查明到底是谁在幕后操纵，并找上他们，而不仅仅是他们的傀儡。”
“Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets,” Musk wrote on the social platform X, which he owns, in response to a Politico report about his controversial work as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the potential shutdown of Starlink access in Ukraine.
《华尔街日报》另一篇报道援引美国官员和知情人士的话指控马斯克下令减缓“星盾”（Starshield，Starlink的军用版本）的部署。这项技术是乌克兰抵御俄罗斯导弹和无人机袭击的重要工具。
Another report in The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter, accused Musk of ordering the slowdown of Starshield, the military version of Starlink internet. The technology is a vital tool Ukraine uses to defend itself from Russian missile and drone attacks.
“当一个人从政府获得一份巨额合同，然后利用它做一些事情，导致在一场对美国支持乌克兰极其重要的战争中切断通信，会发生什么？”众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔（民主党-华盛顿州）在接受《政治报》采访时表示。
“What happens when one guy gets a giant contract from the government and then uses it to do something that shuts down communication in a war that has been extremely important to the United States to support Ukraine,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said in an interview with Politico.
尽管特朗普总统上周声称他和马斯克都未参与减缓部署，但国务卿马可·鲁比奥和国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯迅速指责马斯克。特朗普在该事件中的角色仍不清楚。
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were quick to blame Musk despite President Trump claiming last week that neither he nor Musk was involved in the slowdown. Trump’s role in the matter is still unclear.
据《政治报》报道，民主党还寻求延长此前对马斯克作为特别政府雇员在政府效率部工作的调查。
Democrats are also looking to extend their past probe into Musk’s work as a special federal employee at DOGE, per Politico.
已故众议员杰里·康诺利（民主党-弗吉尼亚州）去年在致特朗普的一封信中写道，马斯克在政府效率部行使“巨大权力”，并利用权力将“国会授权并拨款的联邦机构‘送进绞肉机’。”康诺利进一步指责白宫“掩盖”马斯克在该部门的角色事实。
The late Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) wrote in a letter to Trump last year that Musk wielded “immense authority” while at DOGE and used his power to “feed Congressionally authorized and funded federal agencies ‘through the wood chipper.’”Connolly further accused the White House of “obscuring the facts of” Musk’s role at the department.
在担任政府效率部（DOGE）负责人的130天里，根据一个追踪国家债务的网站显示，该部门报告称通过资产出售、合同取消、欺诈及不当支付清理、项目变更和裁员，节省了2140亿美元。这相当于为美国约1.61亿纳税人每人节省了1329美元，并使国家债务减少了0.54%。
During his 130-day tenure as head of DOGE, the department reported it saved $214 billion through asset sales, contract cancellations, fraud and improper payment deletion, programmatic changes and workforce reductions, according to a site tracking national debt. That amounted to $1,329 saved for each of the roughly 161 million taxpayers in the U.S. and reduced the national debt by 0.54 percent.
与此同时，环保非营利组织“为环境负责的公职人员”（Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility）的一项调查称，特朗普政府通过其延期辞职计划，在2025年让纳税人付出了估计100亿美元的代价。
At the same time, however, an investigation by the environmental nonprofit group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility claimed the Trump administration cost taxpayers an estimated $10 billion in 2025 through its deferred resignation program.
政府问责局（Government Accountability Office）的另一份报告估计，在政府效率部推动员工买断离职后，政府在行政休假上花费了67亿美元。
Another report from the Government Accountability Office estimated the administration spent $6.7 billion on administrative leave after DOGE pushed for employee buyouts.
