原文内容:
Billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday signaled that the Federal Reserve could face
scrutiny as Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to
audit federal agencies and spending.
Musk wrote on X in response to a user's post about the billionaire's support
for an audit of the Fed that the central bank isn't above scrutiny from DOGE.
"All aspects of the government must be fully transparent and accountable to
the people. No exceptions, including, if not especially, the Federal Reserve,"
Musk wrote.
Musk is a longtime critic of the central bank and has called out its decisions
on monetary policy as well as claiming the Fed's workforce is bloated.
In May 2024, Musk posted that the "Fed has a crazy high number of employees."
The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX also said last summer the Fed was too
slow in cutting interest rates, writing on X in August that the Fed "needs to
drop rates" and has been "foolish not to have done so already."
The Fed would go on to cut rates in September in line with the market's
expectations, which it followed with further cuts in November and December.

亿万富翁伊隆·马斯克周日表示,随着马斯克的政府效率部门(DOGE)持
续审计联邦机构和支出,联准会(Federal Reserve)可能面临审查。
马斯克在X平台上回复一位用户关于这位亿万富翁支持审计联准会的贴文时写道,中央银
行并非不能接受DOGE的审查。
“政府的所有部门都必须对人民完全透明和负责,没有例外。包括,如果不是特别是,联
准会。”马斯克写道。
马斯克长期以来都是中央银行的批评者,他曾公开批评其货币政策决策,并声称联准会的
员工队伍过于臃肿。
2024年5月,马斯克发文表示“联准会的雇员人数多得离谱”。
这位特斯拉(Tesla)和SpaceX的亿万富翁执行长也于去年夏天表示,联准会降低利率的
速度太慢,他曾在8月于X平台上写道,联准会“需要降息”,并且“早就该这么做了,却
一直很愚蠢”。
联准会后来在9月按照市场预期降息,并在11月和12月进一步降息。
联准会主席鲍尔上个月在一次记者会上,被问及马斯克近期声称联准会员
工“荒谬地人手过剩”的说法。该记者会是在联准会决议将利率维持在目前 4.25% 至 4.
5% 区间不变之后举行的。
“我们运行一个非常谨慎的预算流程,我们对此完全知情。 我们对公众有这个责任,而
且我们相信我们做到了。 我对此没有进一步评论,谢谢。”鲍尔回应了大众商业新闻
Edward Lawrence 的提问。
心得/评论:
鲍尔昨天在国会作证,表示Fed不急于再次下调短期利率。
那马斯克是否更会利用DOGE审计Fed的机会,来影响Fed的决策?
