伊隆馬斯克瞄準美聯儲，稱其“人手過剩”

（彭博）—億萬富翁 Elon Musk 的任務是在一月份提高美國政府的效率，他將目光瞄準了美聯儲。

Elon Musk has set his sights on the Federal Reserve, calling the central bank “absurdly overstaffed” in response to someone posting about the Fed's latest policy decision on social media.

馬斯克(Elon Musk)將目光投向了美聯儲，在回應有人在社交媒體上發布有關美聯儲最新政策決定的帖子時，他稱美聯儲“人手過剩”。

The remarks come after US President-elect Donald Trump also made the Fed a target, arguing he should have a say in monetary policy and the setting of interest rates.

在此之前，美國當選總統川普也將聯準會作為目標，認為他應該在貨幣政策和利率制定方面擁有發言權。

Musk has become one of Trump's closest advisers as the latter prepares to return to the White House, and is set to lead up a new agency — called the Department of Government Efficiency — along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. DOGE, as it's known, seeks to deliver a leaner, more efficient government, including $2 trillion in spending cuts.

隨著川普準備重返白宮，馬斯克已成為川普最親密的顧問之一，並將與企業家維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米(Vivek Ramaswamy) 一起領導一個名為政府效率部的新機構。眾所周知，DOGE 致力於建立一個更精簡、更有效率的政府，其中包括削減 2 兆美元的支出。

The Federal Reserve Board in Washington and 12 regional reserve banks across the US employed about 24,000 people last year — significantly less than comparable institutions.

華盛頓聯邦儲備委員會和美國 12 家地區儲備銀行去年僱用了約 24,000 名員工，明顯少於同類機構。

In the Eurosystem, which comprises the European Central Bank and the region's 20 national peers, the central banks of Germany, France and Italy together had more people on their payrolls.

在由歐洲中央銀行和該地區 20 個國家同行組成的歐元體系中，德國、法國和義大利的中央銀行的員工總數較多。

The Fed and Chair Jerome Powell have been a frequent target of Trump, who appointed him during his first term. Recently, he ridiculed Powell's role as “the greatest job in government,” saying, “you show up to the office once a month, and you say, ‘Let's see, flip a coin.’”

聯準會和主席鮑威爾一直是川普的經常攻擊目標，川普在他的第一個任期內任命了他。最近，他嘲笑鮑威爾的角色是“政府中最偉大的工作”，他說，“你每個月到辦公室一次，然後說，‘讓我們看看，擲硬幣。’”

While Powell hasn't responded directly, ECB President Christine Lagarde challenged Trump's gripe, inviting him to come and observe the work of her team in Frankfurt.

雖然鮑威爾沒有直接回應，但歐洲央行行長克里斯蒂娜·拉加德對川普的抱怨提出了挑戰，邀請他來法蘭克福觀察她的團隊的工作。

“I have thousands of hard-working people — economists, jurists, computer scientists — and I can assure you that they work super hard every day, not just once a month,” she told Bloomberg TV. “We defend the euro, and we fight for the euro, just as the Fed defends the dollar, I'm sure — I don't want to speak for Jay Powell, but I'm sure that's how he sees his job.”

「我有成千上萬勤奮的人——經濟學家、法學家、電腦科學家——我可以向你保證，他們每天都非常努力地工作，而不僅僅是每月一次，」她告訴彭博電視台。 “我們捍衛歐元，我們為歐元而戰，就像美聯儲捍衛美元一樣，我確信——我不想代表傑伊·鮑威爾發言，但我確信這就是他看待自己工作的方式。”
