伊隆馬斯克和 DOGE：億萬富翁是否試圖透過不相關的推文來提振迷因幣？

億萬富翁和 X 所有者 Elon Musk 今天發布了一條描繪 Doge 的表情包。雖然他直接指的是政府效率部

Billionaire and X owner Elon Musk posted a meme depicting Doge today. Although he directly referred to the Department of Government Efficiency, the meme asset Dogecoin also pumped briefly.

億萬富翁和 X 所有者 Elon Musk 今天發布了一條描繪 Doge 的表情包。儘管他直接提到了政府效率部，但迷因資產狗狗幣也短暫上漲。

Is Musk deliberately trying to boost DOGE through these seemingly unrelated tweets? A recent class-action lawsuit against him directly addressed this possibility.

馬斯克是否故意透過這些看似無關的推文來提振DOGE？最近針對他的集體訴訟直接解決了這種可能性。

Elon Musk and DOGE

伊隆馬斯克和 DOGE

Today, there apparently exists a clear correlation between Dogecoin (DOGE), a prominent meme coin, and billionaire Elon Musk’s social media activity. Earlier, DOGE briefly began trending down until he posted a doge-centric meme.

如今，狗狗幣（DOGE）這種著名的迷因幣與億萬富翁伊隆馬斯克的社群媒體活動之間顯然存在明顯的相關性。早些時候，DOGE 一度開始下降，直到他發布了一條以狗狗為中心的迷因。

This meme directly referenced Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), but the coin’s value nevertheless increased.

這個表情包直接引用了馬斯克的政府效率部（DOGE），但硬幣的價值仍然增加了。

This DOGE price bump proved short-lived, but it was still a noticeable correlation. A clear question arises: was Musk deliberately trying to boost DOGE?

事實證明，狗狗幣價格的上漲是短暫的，但它仍然具有明顯的相關性。一個明顯的問題出現了：馬斯克是故意試圖提振 DOGE 嗎？

On several recent occasions, the value of this meme coin has risen after Musk’s social media posts. In September, he clearly posted about D.O.G.E., which also boosted the unrelated cryptoasset.

最近幾次，在馬斯克的社群媒體貼文發布後，這種迷因幣的價值有所上升。 9月份，他明確發布了關於DOGE的帖子，這也提振了不相關的加密資產。

Ultimately, it is impossible to definitively understand Musk’s intentions with his post. Recently, all of Musk’s Doge-related statements have referred to the political project, not the cryptoasset. If he was trying to pump the meme coin’s value, he wasn’t very successful: this growth flatlined and dropped again within hours.

最終，我們不可能確切地理解馬斯克的貼文的意圖。最近，馬斯克所有與總督相關的聲明都提到了政治項目，而不是加密資產。如果他試圖提高模因幣的價值，他並不是很成功：這種增長趨於平緩，並在幾個小時內再次下降。

There is, however, an alternate plausible explanation for this behavior. Last week, Dogecoin investors dropped a class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk over this exact issue. These investors accused Musk of deliberately manipulating DOGE’s price since 2021, alleging fraud and insider trading.

然而，對於這種行為還有另一種合理的解釋。上週，狗狗幣投資者就這項問題撤銷了針對伊隆馬斯克的集體訴訟。這些投資者指責馬斯克自2021年以來故意操縱DOGE的價格，指控其存在欺詐和內線交易。

“Elon Musk literally named a government department ’Doge’ so he can post about it again whenever he wants, without getting in trouble,” X account ‘Sir Doge of the Coin,’ said.

“馬斯克將政府部門命名為‘Doge’，這樣他就可以隨時再次發布相關內容，而不會遇到麻煩，”X 帳戶“Sir Doge of the Coin”說道。

Musk is a documented meme aficionado who may have a Doge appreciation independent of the asset or agency. After all, the underlying meme has existed since 2013 and can exist outside either one of these two contexts.

馬斯克是一位記錄在案的迷因愛好者，他可能對總督的欣賞與資產或機構無關。畢竟，底層模因自 2013 年以來就已經存在，並且可以存在於這兩種背景之外。

However, if Musk has been accused of criminally manipulating Dogecoin prices with his posts, then D.O.G.E.’s name could be an easy solution. By naming the agency thus, Musk would have plausible deniability that he isn’t talking about the cryptoasset at all. Whether Musk is or isn’t signaling to DOGE traders, there’s no way to establish his actual intent definitively.

然而，如果馬斯克被指控透過他的貼文非法操縱狗狗幣價格，那麼 DOGE 的名字可能是一個簡單的解決方案。透過這樣命名該機構，馬斯克可以合理地否認他根本沒有在談論加密資產。無論馬斯克是否向 DOGE 交易員發出信號，都無法明確確定他的實際意圖。
