美國社會保障局（SSA）將將所有公共通信轉移到X社交媒體平台

根據與Wired交談的匿名消息人士的說法，政府機構將不再發放其習慣信件和新聞稿

The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) will move all public communications to the X social media platform amid sweeping workforce cuts recommended by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is being led by X owner Elon Musk.

美國社會保障局（SSA）將在政府效率部（DOGE）推薦的大量勞動力削減中將所有公共通信轉移到X社交媒體平台，該裁員由X所有者Elon Musk領導。

According to anonymous sources who spoke with WIRED, the government agency will no longer issue its customary letters and press releases to communicate changes to the public, but rather rely on X as its primary form of public-facing communication.

根據與《連線》交談的匿名消息來源，政府機構將不再發放其習慣信件和新聞稿以向公眾傳達變更，而是依靠X作為其面向公共溝通的主要形式。

The shift comes as the SSA is cutting down its workforce from 57,000 employees to roughly 50,000 to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. The agency issued this statement in February 2025:

隨著SSA將其勞動力從57,000名員工降低到大約50,000，以降低成本並提高運營效率。該機構於2025年2月發布了此聲明：

Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, has accused the Social Security system of distributing billions of dollars in wrongful payments, a claim that was made by the White House, too. Musk's comments have sparked an ongoing and rather heated debate about the future of the retirement program and sustainable government spending.

Doge的負責人埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）指責社會保障體系分發了數十億美元的不法付款，這也是白宮提出的。馬斯克的評論引發了關於退休計劃和可持續政府支出的未來的持續且相當激烈的辯論。

The Department of Government Efficiency is an unofficial government agency tasked with identifying and curbing allegedly wasteful public spending through budget and personnel cuts.

政府效率部是一個非正式的政府機構，負責通過預算和削減人員削減據稱和遏制浪費的公共支出。

In March, DOGE began probing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and gained access to its internal systems, including data repositories.

3月，Doge開始調查證券交易委員會（SEC），並獲得了包括數據存儲庫在內的內部系統。

SEC officials signaled their cooperation with DOGE and said the regulatory agency would work closely with it to provide any relevant information requested.

SEC官員表示與Doge合作，並表示監管機構將與之緊密合作，以提供所需的任何相關信息。

Musk and Trump discuss curbing public spending and eliminating government waste.

馬斯克和特朗普討論遏制公共支出並消除政府浪費。

DOGE has also proposed slashing the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) workforce by 20%. The workforce reduction could impact up to 6,800 IRS employees and be implemented by May 15 — exactly one month after 2024 federal taxes are due.

Doge還提議將國稅局（IRS）的勞動力削減20％。勞動力降低可能會影響多達6,800名IRS僱員，並在5月15日之前實施 - 恰好在2024年到期後一個月。

Musk's and the DOGE's proposals for sweeping spending cuts are not limited to slashing budgets and reducing the size of the federal workforce.

馬斯克和門多格關於削減開支的建議不僅限於削減預算並減少聯邦勞動力的規模。

DOGE is reportedly exploring blockchain to curb public spending by placing the entire government budget onchain to promote accountability and transparency.

據報導，Doge正在探索區塊鏈，以通過將整個政府預算放在鏈上來促進問責制和透明度來遏制公共支出。
