Trump had said he would offer Musk a role in his administration promoting government efficiency.马斯克捐赠了数百万美元支持特朗普的总统竞选活动，并与他一起公开露面。特朗普曾表示，他将让马斯克在政府中发挥作用，提高政府效率。He has many links to Washington, and his lineup of companies includes electric car company Tesla (TSLA.O), social media platform X and rocket company SpaceX.他与美国政府有很多联系，他的公司包括电动汽车公司特斯拉（TSLA.O）、社交媒体平台X和火箭公司SpaceX。"This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!" Musk said, according to Trump's statement, which called the new government initiative "potentially 'The Manhattan Project' of our time," referring to the U.S. plan to build the atomic bomb that helped end World War Two.根据特朗普的声明，马斯克说：“这将给整个系统和任何参与政府浪费的人带来冲击波，这是很多人！”特朗普的声明称，新的政府倡议“可能是我们这个时代的‘曼哈顿计划’”，指的是美国制造原子弹的计划，该计划有助于结束第二次世界大战。
Ramaswamy is the founder of a pharmaceutical company who ran for the Republican presidential nomination against Trump and then threw his support behind the former president after dropping out.拉马斯瓦米是一家制药公司的创始人，他与特朗普竞争共和党总统候选人提名，然后在退出后支持这位前总统。"We will not go gently, @elonmusk," Ramaswamy said on X.“我们不会温和地离开，@elonmusk，”拉马斯瓦米在X上说。
