Billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday signaled that the Federal Reserve could face
scrutiny as Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to
audit federal agencies and spending.
Musk wrote on X in response to a user's post about the billionaire's support
for an audit of the Fed that the central bank isn't above scrutiny from DOGE.
"All aspects of the government must be fully transparent and accountable to
the people. No exceptions, including, if not especially, the Federal Reserve,"
Musk wrote.
Musk is a longtime critic of the central bank and has called out its decisions
on monetary policy as well as claiming the Fed's workforce is bloated.
In May 2024, Musk posted that the "Fed has a crazy high number of employees."
The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX also said last summer the Fed was too
slow in cutting interest rates, writing on X in August that the Fed "needs to
drop rates" and has been "foolish not to have done so already."
The Fed would go on to cut rates in September in line with the market's
expectations, which it followed with further cuts in November and December.

億萬富翁伊隆·馬斯克週日表示,隨著馬斯克的政府效率部門(DOGE)持
續審計聯邦機構和支出,聯準會(Federal Reserve)可能面臨審查。
馬斯克在X平台上回覆一位用戶關於這位億萬富翁支持審計聯準會的貼文時寫道,中央銀
行並非不能接受DOGE的審查。
「政府的所有部門都必須對人民完全透明和負責,沒有例外。包括,如果不是特別是,聯
準會。」馬斯克寫道。
馬斯克長期以來都是中央銀行的批評者,他曾公開批評其貨幣政策決策,並聲稱聯準會的
員工隊伍過於臃腫。
2024年5月,馬斯克發文表示「聯準會的僱員人數多得離譜」。
這位特斯拉(Tesla)和SpaceX的億萬富翁執行長也於去年夏天表示,聯準會降低利率的
速度太慢,他曾在8月於X平台上寫道,聯準會「需要降息」,並且「早就該這麼做了,卻
一直很愚蠢」。
聯準會後來在9月按照市場預期降息,並在11月和12月進一步降息。
聯準會主席鮑爾上個月在一次記者會上,被問及馬斯克近期聲稱聯準會員
工「荒謬地人手過剩」的說法。該記者會是在聯準會決議將利率維持在目前 4.25% 至 4.
5% 區間不變之後舉行的。
「我們運行一個非常謹慎的預算流程,我們對此完全知情。 我們對公眾有這個責任,而
且我們相信我們做到了。 我對此沒有進一步評論,謝謝。」鮑爾回應了福斯商業新聞
Edward Lawrence 的提問。
心得/評論:
鮑爾昨天在國會作證,表示Fed不急於再次下調短期利率。
那馬斯克是否更會利用DOGE審計Fed的機會,來影響Fed的決策?
