Elon Musk's X Endgame

埃隆·马斯克的 X 终局

The world's richest man has become a new kind of oligarch.

这位世界首富已成为一种新型寡头。

After months of negotiation, Congress was close to passing a spending bill on Wednesday to avert a government shutdown. Elon Musk decided he had other ideas. He railed against the bill in more than 150 separate posts on X, complaining about the raises it would have given members of Congress, falsely exaggerating the proposed pay increase, and worrying about billions in government spending that weren’t even in the bill.

经过数月的谈判，美国国会即将在周三通过一项支出法案，以避免政府关门。埃隆·马斯克另有想法。他在社交媒体 X 上发了 150 多条帖子抨击该法案，抱怨法案会给国会议员加薪，虚假夸大拟议的加薪幅度，并担心法案中根本没有的数十亿政府支出。
