馬斯克豪言削減2兆支出 《紐時》分析:承諾落空、開銷反增
伊隆・馬斯克曾承諾削減2兆美元聯邦支出,但《紐約時報》分析揭示,不僅目標未能實現,許多成果並不存在,支出甚至不減反增。深入探討科技領袖的承諾與政策現實。
科技領袖伊隆・馬斯克(Elon Musk)曾承諾透過名為「DOGE」的計畫大幅削減聯邦開支,然而根據《紐約時報》的一項分析,這項宏偉計畫的成效不僅與承諾有著天壤之別,部分成果甚至查無實據。該分析最初由媒體Boing Boing披露,直指當初宣稱的2兆美元節省額淪為空談。
不斷縮水的承諾:從2兆到1兆
據報導,馬斯克最初信誓旦旦,宣稱「DOGE」計畫將為聯邦政府「至少」省下2兆美元的驚人支出。然而,時至首次內閣會議,這個目標數字便已悄然腰斬至1兆美元。
《紐約時報》的深入分析更顯示,實際節省的金額遠低於此,許多號稱最大的「勝利」甚至根本不存在,無異於紙上談兵。
成果檢視:不減反增的諷刺
該分析不僅對節省的金額提出質疑,更對計畫本身的成效進行了嚴厲檢視,直指許多由「DOGE」計畫所宣稱的重大成果「根本不存在」。
更具諷刺意味的是,引述該分析的媒體Boing Boing在標題中明確點出,聯邦支出非但沒有減少,反而「不減反增」,這無疑是對馬斯克最初承諾的最大反諷,也凸顯了現實與理想間的巨大鴻溝。
此事件凸顯了科技界領袖以其個人魅力所作的宏大承諾,與政府政策執行的複雜現實之間的巨大張力。這不僅考驗了公眾人物的誠信,也彰顯了獨立媒體進行事實查核、追蹤問責在現代民主社會中的關鍵角色。
