埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的公司可以避免超過23億美元的潛在罰款和其他負債

據說該估計包括聯邦調查，訴訟和其他監管行動的潛在責任。

Elon Musk's companies could avoid over $2.3 billion in potential fines and other liabilities thanks to Musk's unusual government position as the head of DOGE, said a memo yesterday from the Democratic staff of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The estimate is said to include potential liability from federal investigations, litigation, and other regulatory actions.

埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的公司昨天昨天在參議院民主黨長期委員會調查小組委員會的一份備忘錄中說，由於馬斯克（Musk）擔任多奇（Doge）的非同尋常的政府職位，可能會避免超過23億美元的潛在罰款和其他負債。據說該估計包括聯邦調查，訴訟和其他監管行動的潛在責任。

"Since his appointment, Mr. Musk has taken a chainsaw to the federal government with no apparent regard for the law or for the people who depend on the programs and agencies he so blithely destroys... Mr. Musk's position may allow him to evade oversight, derail investigations, and make litigation disappear whenever he so chooses—on his terms and at his command," the 44-page memo said.

自任命以來，馬斯克先生就沒有明顯考慮法律或依靠他如此嚴重摧毀的計劃和機構的人，向聯邦政府帶走了電鋸……馬斯克先生的立場可能使他能夠逃避監督，脫軌調查，並使訴訟在他選擇時消失，並以他的命令和命令為指揮，” 44級Memo說。”

The subcommittee's investigation found that as of January 20, "Musk and his companies were subject to at least 65 actual or potential actions by 11 different federal agencies." The memo said the subcommittee "was able to estimate potential financial liabilities for 40 of the 65 actions by eight federal agencies," resulting in the $2.37 billion total.

小組委員會的調查發現，截至1月20日，“馬斯克及其公司至少受到11個不同的聯邦機構的實際行動或潛在行動。”該備忘錄說，該小組委員會“能夠估算八個聯邦機構中65個訴訟中40個的潛在金融負債”，總計23.7億美元。

The memo said the 40 quantifiable items include "$1.19 billion in potential liability as a result of Tesla's allegedly false or misleading statements about its autopilot and full self-driving features; $633,009 in fines from SpaceX's multiple failures to follow rocket launch requirements in 2023; a total of $713,114 in fines from 29 citations by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) against SpaceX, Tesla, and The Boring Company; $281 million in potential liability from Neuralink's alleged false or misleading statements about its product risks, and many more."

該備忘錄表示，這40個可量化的項目包括“由於特斯拉的據稱是虛假或誤導性的陳述，其潛在責任為11.9億美元，涉及其自動駕駛儀和完整的自動駕駛功能的陳述； SpaceX的罰款為633,009美元，這是SpaceX的罰款，從SpaceX的罰款中，從2023年遵循Rocket Punage of Sustame and Sustame and Sustame Interivations to pation and of 29,114 citions in 29 Citions in 29 citions in 29 citions in 29;特斯拉（Tesla）和無聊的公司;

The $2.37 billion total does not include several National Labor Relations Board actions against SpaceX and Tesla, and doesn't include several investigations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into Tesla's autonomous driving technology, the memo said.

備忘錄說，這筆23.7億美元的總數不包括針對SpaceX和Tesla的幾項國家勞資關係委員會的行動，也不包括國家公路交通安全管理局對特斯拉的自動駕駛技術進行的幾項調查。

According to the memo:

根據備忘錄：

While the $2.37 billion figure represents a credible, conservative estimate, it drastically understates the true benefit Mr. Musk may gain from legal risk avoidance alone as a result of his position in government. In addition to the 25 pending matters the Subcommittee has not yet been able to quantify, Mr. Musk and his companies could gain millions or even billions more simply by avoiding the time, legal fees, and risk of being ordered to undertake remediation efforts or change labor practices. This figure also does not include the many billions of dollars that Mr. Musk and his companies could gain in other ways, including through new contracts they may secure or the competitive advantage they may gain by collecting intelligence on competitors.

儘管這筆23.7億美元的數字代表了一個可信，保守的估計，但由於他在政府中的立場而導致的，馬斯克先生可能僅憑法律避免避免法律風險而大大低估了。除25個懸而未決的問題外，小組委員會尚未能夠量化，Musk及其公司還可以通過避免時間，法律費用以及被命令進行補救工作或改變勞動慣例的風險而獲得數百萬甚至數十億美元。該數字還不包括馬斯克先生及其公司可能以其他方式收穫的數十億美元，包括通過他們可以確保的新合同或通過收集競爭者情報來獲得的競爭優勢。
