法官駁回 $258B 訴訟，該訴訟聲稱埃隆·馬斯克精心策劃了“加密金字塔計劃”

在提起訴訟近兩年後，美國紐約南區地方法院法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 決定撤銷尋求 2,580 億美元損害賠償的訴訟。

A United States court has dismissed a class action lawsuit that sought a whopping $258 billion in damages from Elon Musk and his companies, SpaceX and Tesla. The lawsuit, filed almost two years ago, accused Musk of orchestrating a “crypto pyramid scheme” and using his status as the world’s richest person to manipulate the price of Dogecoin (DOGE).

美國法院駁回了一項集體訴訟，該訴訟要求馬斯克及其公司 SpaceX 和特斯拉賠償高達 2580 億美元的損失。該訴訟大約在兩年前提起，指控馬斯克策劃了“加密金字塔計劃”，並利用他作為世界首富的地位操縱狗狗幣（DOGE）的價格。

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that Musk’s actions led to losses for investors and that his statements about DOGE could be construed as a “Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme.” They alleged that Musk promoted the cryptocurrency to profit from the volatility he created.

訴訟中的原告聲稱，馬斯克的行為給投資者帶來了損失，他關於DOGE的言論可以被解釋為「狗狗幣金字塔計畫」。他們聲稱馬斯克推廣加密貨幣是為了從他創造的波動性中獲利。

Specifically, the lawsuit pointed to Musk's appearance on Saturday Night Live in 2021, during which he portrayed a financial expert in a skit and briefly mentioned DOGE, calling it "a hustle." Following the skit, the price of DOGE dropped over 25% from its all-time high of $0.73 and has not recovered to those levels since.

具體來說，訴訟指向馬斯克在2021 年出現在《週六夜現場》中，期間他在一個短劇中扮演了一位金融專家，並簡短地提到了DOGE，稱其為“一場騙局” 。短劇發生後，DOGE 的價格從 0.73 美元的歷史高點下跌了 25% 以上，此後一直沒有恢復到這些水平。

However, in his Aug. 29 decision, Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the lawsuit, stating that Musk's statements about DOGE were "aspirational and puffery, not factual" and were "susceptible to being falsified." He added that no “reasonable investor could rely upon them” to make investment decisions.

然而，美國紐約南區地方法院法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦(Alvin Hellerstein) 在8 月29 日的裁決中駁回了訴訟，稱馬斯克關於DOGE 的陳述“是空想和誇大的，而不是事實”，並且「容易被偽造」 」。他補充說，「理性的投資者不能依賴它們」來做出投資決策。

The judge also found that the facts did not support the plaintiffs’ allegations of a “pump and dump” scheme, market manipulation, or insider trading, underscoring that it was “not possible to understand the allegations that form the basis” of these claims.

法官還發現，事實並不支持原告關於「拉高拋售」計畫、市場操縱或內線交易的指控，強調「不可能理解構成這些指控基礎的指控」。

Musk's legal team had previously urged the court to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the Tesla CEO's support for dogecoin on social media alone was too imprecise to quantify as allegations of fraud.

馬斯克的法律團隊此前曾敦促法院駁回訴訟，認為特斯拉執行長僅在社群媒體上對狗狗幣的支持過於不準確，無法量化為詐欺指控。

At the time of publication, dogecoin's price showed no reaction to the dismissal and was down 86.4% from its all-time high price.

截至發稿時，狗狗幣的價格對解僱沒有任何反應，比歷史最高價下跌了 86.4%。

It's worth noting that Musk has largely distanced himself from the cryptocurrency sector in recent years. His electric vehicle company, Tesla, which once embraced Bitcoin (BTC) as a form of payment, reversed its decision shortly after Musk's SNL appearance. However, the company has reportedly held onto its BTC

值得注意的是，馬斯克近年來在很大程度上與加密貨幣領域保持了距離。他的電動車公司特斯拉曾經接受比特幣（BTC）作為支付方式，但在馬斯克出現在《週六夜現場》後不久就改變了決定。然而，據報道該公司一直持有其 BTC
