然而，马斯克的改革之路并非一帆风顺。截至4月初，政府效率部已面临超过20项联邦及州级诉讼，指控内容包括虚假预算报告、误导公众、破坏政策 连续性等。议员们也公开质疑其改革是否违反宪法分权原则。最新的昆尼皮亚克大学民调显示，全美有54%的选民认为政府效率部正在对国家造成伤 害，连共和党内部也有人批评马斯克"只会砍预算，不会治理"。 在外界压力不断增大的同时，马斯克的商业帝国也受到冲击。特斯拉作为其核心品牌，因马斯克公开支持特朗普并投身政府改革，在部分地区的用户形 象严重受损。据《CBC》报道，自马斯克入主政府效率部以来，特斯拉在多地遭遇打砸、纵火、抵制等激烈抗议事件，欧洲市场也开始对特斯拉"抛 票"。投资人直言，首席执行官分心于政府事务，公司运营必然受到影响。在这样的形势下，马斯克选择回归特斯拉，似乎是一种必然。 随着马斯克逐渐淡出政府效率部，美国国务院的"大洗牌"计划浮出水面。当地时间4月22日，美国国务卿鲁比奥发布声明称，当前美国国务院"机构臃 肿、有限的资源被错误分配"，需要对其重组以应对"21世纪的巨大挑战"以及实现"美国优先"。一旦此次重组计划实施，美国国务院将迎来自1789年成立 以来规模最大的重组之 ...
