埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）以杂耍火箭，机器人和叛徒推文而闻名，现在正在悄悄地退出他在美国政治中短暂的工作。

Elon Musk is stepping down from his role advising the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was part of the U.S. government's new initiative to slash spending.

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）辞去了他的角色，建议政府效率部（DOGE），这是美国政府削减支出的新计划的一部分。

Known for juggling rockets, robots, and renegade tweets, Musk is now quietly backing out of his short-lived stint in U.S. politics.

马斯克以杂耍火箭，机器人和叛徒的推文而闻名，现在悄悄地退出了他在美国政治中短暂的工作。

As DOGE, cheekily nicknamed "Doge" by insiders, sputters to irrelevance and Tesla, his flagship venture, is flashing red alerts, the billionaire may be returning to what he knows best—trying to rescue a burning ship.

作为Doge，内部人士昵称为“ Doge”，他的旗舰企业无关紧要，特斯拉（Tesla）闪烁着红色警报，亿万富翁可能会恢复到他最了解的东西 - 试图营救一艘燃烧的船。

But is it already too late to save both endeavors?

但是，节省这两个努力已经太晚了吗？

DOGE fades into political oblivion

杜氏陷入政治遗忘

Musk’s foray into Washington was always more spectacle than substance. Branded as a radical push to slash federal inefficiency, the DOGE initiative set out with the lofty aim of trimming $2 trillion from government spending.

马斯克对华盛顿的企业总是比实质更多的奇观。该倡议以削减联邦效率低下的激进努力，以崇高的目的是从政府支出中削减2万亿美元的目标。

In reality, a meager $150 billion was touched—a symbolic gesture, not a structural change.

实际上，触摸了1500亿美元的微薄 - 象征性的手势，而不是结构性变化。

Early promises also gave way to half-hearted experiments. One widely-reported move was Musk’s weekly emails to personally demand five accomplishments from every federal worker, threatening sanctions if they weren’t met. It sounded like Musk’s trademark pressure-cooker style, usually used on his companies, being transplanted to D.C. But the stunt fizzled when the Office of Personnel Management clarified that no penalties would ever be applied. The messages are now largely ignored.

早期的承诺也让位于三心二意的实验。一项广泛报告的举动是马斯克每周的电子邮件，要求每个联邦工人亲自要求五项成就，并威胁着制裁，如果他们没有达到。听起来像是马斯克的商标高压煮者风格，通常是在他的公司上使用的，被移植到了DC，但是当人事管理办公室澄清不会施加任何惩罚时，特技表演就会陷入困境。现在，消息在很大程度上被忽略了。

Some of the more audacious plans—like a government-wide IRS hackathon and a new initiative to integrate AI into food stamps—were quietly shelved before ever seeing daylight. Experts, particularly in cybersecurity, had raised concerns about DOGE’s directionless leadership and potential cybersecurity risks.

一些更大胆的计划，例如政府范围内的IRS黑客马拉松和一项新计划，将AI整合到食品券中 - 在看到日光之前就安静地搁置了。专家，特别是在网络安全方面，对Doge的无方向领导和潜在的网络安全风险提出了担忧。

What was sold as creative disruption now looks more like uncoordinated noise as Musk pivots to another urgent matter.

现在出售的创意干扰现在看起来更像是不协调的噪音，因为马斯克与另一个紧急情况有关。

Tesla in crisis mode: Musk gets called home

特斯拉处于危机模式：马斯克被称为家

As Doge flounders and faces an uncertain future, Tesla is approaching what Wall Street analysts are calling “code red.”

随着Doge比目鱼的未来，特斯拉正在接近华尔街分析师称之为“代码红色”的东西。

Once the crown jewel of Musk’s empire, the electric car giant is showing signs of serious trouble.

曾经是马斯克帝国的皇冠上的珠宝，这家电动汽车巨头就会显示出严重麻烦的迹象。

Slumping global sales, spotted delays in robotaxi development, and lackluster progress on humanoid robots are rattling investors. Add to that a concerning drop in Tesla’s stock price ahead of its next earnings call, and the picture darkens further.

全球销售，机器人开发中发现的延误以及人类机器人的进展不足，正在震撼投资者。此外，在下一个收益电话会议之前，特斯拉的股票价格下跌，图片进一步变暗。

Tech analyst Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities pulled no punches in a recent interview. “Musk needs to walk away from Doge and return to Tesla immediately. It’s no longer optional.”

来自Wedbush证券的技术分析师丹·艾夫斯（Dan Ives）在最近的一次采访中毫不费力。 “马斯克需要离开大门，立即返回特斯拉。它不再是可选的。”

According to Ives, Musk’s growing association with political drama is tarnishing Tesla’s brand, especially in crucial markets across Europe and Asia.

艾夫斯认为，马斯克与政治戏剧的不断增长正在破坏特斯拉的品牌，尤其是在欧洲和亚洲的关键市场中。

Many longtime Tesla fans, especially those in the U.S., are beginning to question whether the car they love still reflects the values they once admired. Musk’s personal controversies, from his social media antics to political posturing, have bled into the company’s public image—and not for the better.

许多长期的特斯拉粉丝，尤其是在美国的球迷，开始质疑自己喜欢的汽车是否仍然反映了他们曾经钦佩的价值观。马斯克的个人争议，从他的社交媒体滑稽动作到政治姿态，都融入了公司的公开形象，而不是更好。

Exit imminent, future uncertain

退出迫在眉睫的未来不确定

Technically, Musk still holds his role as a special government employee, a title set to expire by the end of next month. But insiders at both Doge and Tesla suggest the exit door is already open.

从技术上讲，马斯克仍然担任特殊政府雇员的角色，该标题将在下个月年底到期。但是Doge和Tesla的内部人士都建议出口门已经打开。

His looming departure, however, raises serious questions about what happens to Doge next. Officially, the agency was intended to operate until mid-2026—but without Musk’s star power, it’s hard to see it surviving that long.

然而，他迫在眉睫的离开提出了严重的问题，即接下来发生的事情。正式地，该机构打算直到2026年中期运作 - 但没有马斯克的明星力量，很难看到它的生存很长时间。

As reported by the Commercial Real Estate Finance Council, there’s no successor yet confirmed, no visible roadmap for Doge’s future, and no clarity on whether the agency will evolve in new directions or simply vanish.

正如商业房地产财政委员会所报道的那样，尚未确认继任者，没有可见的路线图，尚无可见的路线图，也没有明确有关该机构是否会在新方向发展还是简单地消失。

What was once pitched as a radical experiment in American governance now risks being remembered as a bureaucratic side quest that went off the rails.

曾经被认为是美国治理的激进实验的事实，现在有可能被记住是一项官僚主义的副任务。

A return to the core mission?

重返核心任务？

Perhaps leaving politics is less about retreat for Musk and more about a strategic realignment.

也许离开政治不是关于麝香的撤退，而是更多关于战略重组。

Tesla—still arguably the most ambitious of his ventures—needs leadership, not distraction.

特斯拉（Tesla） - 可以说是他的冒险中最雄心勃勃的人，需要领导，而不是分心。

Whether he can steer the company through this storm remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: space travel and meme coins can wait. The electric car revolution he helped ignite now teeters on the brink.

他是否可以引导公司浏览这场风暴还有待观察，但是可以肯定的是：太空旅行和模因硬币可以等待。现在，他帮助摇摇欲坠的电动汽车革命在边缘上摇摇欲坠。

And in a strange way, that’s always been Musk’s pattern—he chases chaos, thrives in it, and then pivots when the flames grow too big. For now, he’s stepping away from Washington.

而且，以一种奇怪的方式，这一直是马斯克的模式 - 他追逐混乱，在其中壮成长，然后在火焰太大时枢转。目前，他正在离开华盛顿。

Whether that means Tesla gets back on course—or becomes his next great detour—is a story still unfolding.

这是否意味着特斯拉回到了前进的过程中，或者成为他的下一个伟大的绕道，这是一个仍在发展的故事。
