埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的公司可以避免超过23亿美元的潜在罚款和其他负债

据说该估计包括联邦调查，诉讼和其他监管行动的潜在责任。

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·马斯克（Elon Musk）的公司昨天昨天在参议院民主党长期委员会调查小组委员会的一份备忘录中说，由于马斯克（Musk）担任多奇（Doge）的非同寻常的政府职位，可能会避免超过23亿美元的潜在罚款和其他负债。据说该估计包括联邦调查，诉讼和其他监管行动的潜在责任。

"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.

自任命以来，马斯克先生就没有明显考虑法律或依靠他如此严重摧毁的计划和机构的人，向联邦政府带走了电锯……马斯克先生的立场可能使他能够逃避监督，脱轨调查，并使诉讼在他选择时消失，并以他的命令和命令为指挥，” 44级Memo说。”

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.

小组委员会的调查发现，截至1月20日，“马斯克及其公司至少受到11个不同的联邦机构的实际行动或潜在行动。”该备忘录说，该小组委员会“能够估算八个联邦机构中65个诉讼中40个的潜在金融负债”，总计23.7亿美元。

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."

该备忘录表示，这40个可量化的项目包括“由于特斯拉的据称是虚假或误导性的陈述，其潜在责任为11.9亿美元，涉及其自动驾驶仪和完整的自动驾驶功能的陈述； SpaceX的罚款为633,009美元，这是SpaceX的罚款，从SpaceX的罚款中，从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）和无聊的公司;

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.

备忘录说，这笔23.7亿美元的总数不包括针对SpaceX和Tesla的几项国家劳资关系委员会的行动，也不包括国家公路交通安全管理局对特斯拉的自动驾驶技术进行的几项调查。

According to the memo:

根据备忘录：

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.

尽管这笔23.7亿美元的数字代表了一个可信，保守的估计，但由于他在政府中的立场而导致的，马斯克先生可能仅凭法律避免避免法律风险而大大低估了。除25个悬而未决的问题外，小组委员会尚未能够量化，Musk及其公司还可以通过避免时间，法律费用以及被命令进行补救工作或改变劳动惯例的风险而获得数百万甚至数十亿美元。该数字还不包括马斯克先生及其公司可能以其他方式收获的数十亿美元，包括通过他们可以确保的新合同或通过收集竞争者情报来获得的竞争优势。
