Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) agency faced three lawsuits within minutes of President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday. The lawsuits allege that the agency violates federal advisory committee laws and aims to cut essential programs.

在週一唐納德·川普總統就職後幾分鐘內，埃隆·馬斯克的政府效率部 (DOGE) 機構就面臨三起訴訟。這些訴訟指控該機構違反了聯邦諮詢委員會的法律，並旨在削減重要項目。

In a 30-page lawsuit, obtained by The Washington Post, public interest law firm National Security Counselors questions the legality of the agency Trump said he’d create to “dismantle government bureaucracy.”

在《華盛頓郵報》獲得的一份長達 30 頁的訴訟中，公共利益律師事務所國家安全顧問質疑川普稱他為「廢除政府官僚機構」而設立的機構的合法性。

According to the complaint, DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which requires advisory committees to follow certain rules, including allowing public involvement.

根據訴狀，DOGE 違反了《聯邦諮詢委員會法》(FACA)，該法要求諮詢委員會遵守某些規則，包括允許公眾參與。

National Security Counselors state that DOGE meets the requirements to be considered a “federal advisory committee.” Yet, while similar agencies follow a “fairly balanced” representation, keep meeting records, and allow public involvement, as required by law, DOGE doesn’t.

國家安全顧問表示，DOGE 符合被視為「聯邦諮詢委員會」的要求。然而，雖然類似機構按照法律要求遵循「相當平衡」的代表、保留會議記錄並允許公眾參與，但 DOGE 卻沒有。

The lawsuit, written by Kel McClanahan, executive director of National Security Counselors, reads:

該訴訟由國家安全顧問執行董事凱爾·麥克拉納漢撰寫，內容如下：

“DOGE is not exempted from FACA’s requirements. All meetings of DOGE, including those conducted through an electronic medium, must be open to the public.”

「DOGE 不能免除 FACA 的要求。 DOGE 的所有會議，包括透過電子媒介舉行的會議，都必須向公眾開放。

Along with Musk, Trump appointed biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE; however, Ramaswamy is expected to step aside to focus on running for governor of Ohio, according to a report from Politico.

川普與馬斯克一起任命生物技術企業家 Vivek Ramaswamy 領導 DOGE；然而，根據 Politico 報道，拉馬斯瓦米預計將辭職，專注於競選俄亥俄州州長。

DOGE has, reportedly, already hired dozens of people who work out of Musk’s SpaceX offices in Washington DC.

據報道，DOGE 已經僱用了數十名在馬斯克位於華盛頓特區的 SpaceX 辦公室工作的人員。

The two other lawsuits were filed by a group that includes the American Federation of Government Employees and the State Democracy Defenders Fund. In another case, the plaintiffs are the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the American Federation of Teachers.

另外兩起訴訟是由美國政府僱員聯合會和國家民主捍衛者基金會等組織提起的。在另一個案件中，原告是華盛頓公民責任與道德組織和美國教師聯合會。

Cutting important programs

剪切重要程序

Despite its name, DOGE isn’t a department of the US government.

儘管名稱如此，DOGE 並不是美國政府的一個部門。

Even so, the agency aims to provide advice and guidance outside of the US government and to work with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget as they “drive out the massive waste and fraud” within the $6.5 trillion federal budget.

即便如此，該機構的目標是在美國政府之外提供建議和指導，並與白宮和管理與預算辦公室合作，幫助他們在 6.5 兆美元的聯邦預算中「消除大量浪費和欺詐」。

Following Trump’s election win in November, he said in a post on Trust Social that Musk and Ramaswamy will “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ movement.”

川普在11 月贏得大選後，他在Trust Social 上發文表示，馬斯克和拉馬斯瓦米將「廢除政府官僚機構，削減多餘的監管，削減浪費性支出，並重組聯邦機構——這對'拯救美國'運動至關重要。

In a post on X, Musk said all actions of DOGE “will be posted online for maximum transparency.”

在 X 上的一篇貼文中，馬斯克表示 DOGE 的所有行動「都將在網路上發布，以實現最大程度的透明度」。

According to Ambassador Norm Eisen, co-founder and executive chair of the State Democracy Defenders Fund, DOGE isn’t about getting rid of redundant staff, “this is about billionaires gutting important programs that American citizens across the country rely on every single day without adequate transparency or accountability.”

國家民主捍衛者基金會聯合創始人兼執行主席諾姆·艾森大使表示，DOGE 並不是要擺脫多餘的員工，「這是億萬富翁們在不顧一切的情況下摧毀全國美國公民每天依賴的重要項目”。足夠的透明度或問責制。”
