美国社会保障局（SSA）将将所有公共通信转移到X社交媒体平台

根据与Wired交谈的匿名消息人士的说法，政府机构将不再发放其习惯信件和新闻稿

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.

美国社会保障局（SSA）将在政府效率部（DOGE）推荐的大量劳动力削减中将所有公共通信转移到X社交媒体平台，该裁员由X所有者Elon Musk领导。

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.

根据与《连线》交谈的匿名消息来源，政府机构将不再发放其习惯信件和新闻稿以向公众传达变更，而是依靠X作为其面向公共沟通的主要形式。

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:

随着SSA将其劳动力从57,000名员工降低到大约50,000，以降低成本并提高运营效率。该机构于2025年2月发布了此声明：

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的负责人埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）指责社会保障体系分发了数十亿美元的不法付款，这也是白宫提出的。马斯克的评论引发了关于退休计划和可持续政府支出的未来的持续且相当激烈的辩论。

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

政府效率部是一个非正式的政府机构，负责通过预算和削减人员削减据称和遏制浪费的公共支出。

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

3月，Doge开始调查证券交易委员会（SEC），并获得了包括数据存储库在内的内部系统。

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

SEC官员表示与Doge合作，并表示监管机构将与之紧密合作，以提供所需的任何相关信息。

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还提议将国税局（IRS）的劳动力削减20％。劳动力降低可能会影响多达6,800名IRS雇员，并在5月15日之前实施 - 恰好在2024年到期后一个月。

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.

马斯克和门多格关于削减开支的建议不仅限于削减预算并减少联邦劳动力的规模。

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

据报道，Doge正在探索区块链，以通过将整个政府预算放在链上来促进问责制和透明度来遏制公共支出。
