川普Truth原文
I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely “off the rails,” essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States - The System seems not designed for them. The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds! Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running “machine,” that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country. It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning. People are now allowed to buy whatever they want - Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (which are doing very well), or New Technologies as they come about - No more EV Mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate - It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problems with that - I was very surprised! Additionally, Elon asked that one of his close friends run NASA and, while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that he was a blue blooded Democrat, who had never contributed to a Republican before. Elon probably was, also. I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon’s corporate life. My Number One charge is to protect the American Public!
參考翻譯
看到馬斯克徹底「脫軌」，過去五週幾乎變成一場列車出軌的災難，我感到非常遺憾。他甚至還想要創立一個第三政黨，儘管這類政黨在美國從未成功過，我們的體制根本就不是為它們設計的。第三政黨唯一擅長的事，就是製造完全徹底的混亂與破壞，而我們現在已經有夠多來自激進左派民主黨的混亂了，他們不只失去了信心，也失去了理智！
反觀共和黨，則是個運作順暢的「機器」，才剛通過了我國史上最重大的法案之一。這是一項非常棒的法案，但不幸的是，對馬斯克來說，這項法案取消了荒謬的電動車強制令，該政策原本會在短期內強迫所有人都得買電動車。我從一開始就堅決反對這項政策。現在，人民終於可以自由選擇自己想買的車種，汽油車、油電混合車(目前表現相當好)，或是其他未來出現的新科技車型，不再有電動車強制令。
我這兩年來都把這項政策作為競選主張。老實說，當馬斯克公開全力支持我時，我還特地問過他：你知道我會廢除電動車強制令吧？因為這不只出現在我每一場演講、每一次對談中。他當時說：他對此完全沒問題，這讓我非常驚訝！
另外，馬斯克也曾請我讓他的一位親密好友來主掌NASA。雖然我覺得他那位朋友表現不錯，但我很驚訝地發現，那人是個血統純正的民主黨人，從沒捐過款給共和黨。也許馬斯克本人也是這樣。我也認為，馬斯克這位好朋友既然本身從事太空產業，那麼讓他負責NASA這麼重要的機構，恐怕並不適當，因為NASA本身與馬斯克的企業利益高度交疊。而我最重要的責任，就是保護美國人民！
