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.

周一唐纳德·特朗普总统就职后几分钟内，埃隆·马斯克的政府效率部 (DOGE) 机构就面临三起诉讼。这些诉讼指控该机构违反了联邦咨询委员会的法律，并旨在削减重要项目。

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.”

《华盛顿邮报》获得的一份长达 30 页的诉讼中，公共利益律师事务所国家安全顾问对特朗普称其为“废除政府官僚机构”而设立的机构的合法性提出质疑。

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

根据诉状，DOGE 违反了《联邦咨询委员会法》(FACA)，该法要求咨询委员会遵守某些规则，包括允许公众参与。

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.

国家安全顾问表示，DOGE 符合被视为“联邦咨询委员会”的要求。然而，虽然类似机构按照法律要求遵循“相当平衡”的代表、保留会议记录并允许公众参与，但 DOGE 却没有。

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

该诉讼由国家安全顾问执行主任凯尔·麦克拉纳汉撰写，内容如下：

“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 的所有会议，包括通过电子媒介举行的会议，都必须向公众开放。”

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.

特朗普与马斯克一起任命生物技术企业家 Vivek Ramaswamy 领导 DOGE；然而，据《Politico》报道，拉马斯瓦米预计将辞职，专注于竞选俄亥俄州州长。

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

据报道，DOGE 已经雇佣了数十名在马斯克位于华盛顿特区的 SpaceX 办公室工作的人员。

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.

另外两起诉讼是由美国政府雇员联合会和国家民主捍卫者基金会等组织提起的。在另一个案件中，原告是华盛顿公民责任与道德组织和美国教师联合会。

Cutting important programs

剪切重要程序

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

尽管名称如此，DOGE 并不是美国政府的一个部门。

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，该机构的目标是在美国政府之外提供建议和指导，并与白宫和管理与预算办公室合作，帮助他们在 6.5 万亿美元的联邦预算中“消除大量浪费和欺诈”。

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.”

特朗普在 11 月赢得大选后，他在 Trust Social 上发帖表示，马斯克和拉马斯瓦米将“废除政府官僚机构，削减多余的监管，削减浪费性支出，并重组联邦机构——这对‘拯救美国’运动至关重要。”

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

在 X 上的一篇帖子中，马斯克表示 DOGE 的所有行动“都将在网上发布，以实现最大程度的透明度”。

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.”

国家民主捍卫者基金会联合创始人兼执行主席诺姆·艾森大使表示，DOGE 并不是要裁掉多余的员工，“这是亿万富翁们在不顾一切的情况下摧毁全国美国公民每天依赖的重要项目。”足够的透明度或问责制。”
