狗狗币可能会作为特斯拉网站上的支付选项卷土重来

特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 在 2019 年称狗狗币为“他最喜欢的加密货币”，它可能会作为电动汽车的支付选项卷土重来

Elon Musk has expressed interest in bringing back Dogecoin as a payment option for certain merchandise on Tesla's website.

埃隆·马斯克表示有兴趣重新使用狗狗币作为特斯拉网站上某些商品的支付方式。

When a user on X.com, a social media platform owned by Musk, asked whether anyone would like Tesla to “reinstate the option of” bringing back the Dogecoin payment option for merchandise, the Tesla chief replied: “Me.”

当马斯克旗下的社交媒体平台 X.com 上的一名用户询问是否有人希望特斯拉“恢复”商品的狗狗币支付选项时，特斯拉首席执行官回答说：“我。”

Musk owns a majority of Tesla stock and is also the owner of X.com, which he acquired in 2022.

马斯克拥有特斯拉大部分股票，也是他于 2022 年收购的 X.com 的所有者。

Currently, the Tesla store accepts only credit cards as a form of payment. It's unclear when or why Dogecoin stopped being an option.

目前，特斯拉商店仅接受信用卡作为付款方式。目前尚不清楚狗狗币何时或为何不再成为一种选择。

The Austin, Texas-based company never broadly accepted Dogecoin for car payments, and there wasn’t a formal announcement about “removing” it as a payment option.

这家总部位于德克萨斯州奥斯汀的公司从未广泛接受狗狗币用于汽车支付，也没有正式宣布“删除”狗狗币作为支付选项。

Musk, the environmentalist?

马斯克，环保主义者？

notable that — in 2021 — Musk posted that the company intends to “use [Bitcoin] for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy.”

值得注意的是，2021 年，马斯克表示，该公司打算“一旦采矿业转向更可持续的能源，就立即使用[比特币]进行交易。”

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin require vast amounts of electricity to process transactions and ensure the security of their respective networks.

比特币和狗狗币等加密货币需要大量电力来处理交易并确保各自网络的安全。

Environmentalists and investors pointed out how the carbon footprint associated with cryptocurrency transactions appeared to be in conflict with Tesla's clean energy initiatives.

环保人士和投资者指出，与加密货币交易相关的碳足迹似乎与特斯拉的清洁能源计划相冲突。

It’s also worth noting that Musk is a staunch supporter of former President and current Republican nominee Donald Trump, who pledges to roll back clean energy initiatives if re-elected.

还值得注意的是，马斯克是前总统、现任共和党候选人唐纳德·特朗普的坚定支持者，特朗普承诺如果连任，将取消清洁能源计划。

Legal drama

律政剧

Musk's affirmation for Dogecoin came less than 24 hours after a U.S. District Judge dismissed a federal lawsuit that accused the Tesla chief of defrauding investors through insider trading and market manipulation of Dogecoin.

马斯克对狗狗币做出确认后不到 24 小时，美国地区法官驳回了一项联邦诉讼，该诉讼指控特斯拉首席执行官通过内幕交易和狗狗币市场操纵来欺骗投资者。

The suit alleged that Musk misused his position as the world's richest man to inflate the price of Dogecoin by over “36,000%” and then let its price crash, causing losses for investors.

该诉讼称，马斯克滥用其全球首富的地位，将狗狗币的价格推高了“36,000%”以上，然后让其价格暴跌，给投资者造成损失。

The plaintiffs argued that Musk's actions could be justified as a “Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme,” where he promoted the cryptocurrency to profit from the volatility he allegedly created.

原告辩称，马斯克的行为可以被视为“狗狗币金字塔计划”，他在其中推广加密货币，以从他据称创造的波动中获利。

The price of DOGE once reached an all-time high of $0.73 but has yet to reach those price levels again.

DOGE 的价格一度达到 0.73 美元的历史新高，但尚未再次达到该价格水平。

Hellerstein said any statements made about Dogecoin are “aspirational and puffery, not factual” and that “no reasonable investor could rely upon them” for making investment decisions.

海勒斯坦表示，有关狗狗币的任何声明都是“雄心勃勃、夸大其词，而不是事实”，“任何理性的投资者都不能依赖它们”来做出投资决策。

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

法官还发现，事实并不支持原告关于“拉高抛售”计划、市场操纵和内幕交易的指控，并强调“不可能理解构成这些指控基础的指控”。

Whether the Dogecoin lawsuit dismissal bodes well for Tesla fans to once again use the dog-themed coin as a payment option when buying, say, a Cybertruck t-shirt, remains to be seen.

狗狗币诉讼被驳回是否预示着特斯拉粉丝在购买赛博卡车 T 恤时再次使用狗狗主题币作为支付选项，还有待观察。
