比特幣價格接近 10 萬美元，伊隆馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 支持霍華德盧特尼克 (Howard Lutnick) 擔任川普財政部長

特斯拉億萬富翁 Elon Musk 已成為美國當選總統唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 的親密顧問，本週出乎意料地對加密貨幣的認可，讓人們感到驚訝。

Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, who has repeatedly warned of U.S. financial collapse, has helped the bitcoin price soar in recent years. Now Musk has endorsed Cantor Fitzgerald chief executive Howard Lutnick for U.S. Treasury secretary in a move that could see bitcoin legalized.

多次警告美國金融崩盤的特斯拉億萬富翁馬斯克近年來幫助比特幣價格飆升。現在，馬斯克已支持坎托·菲茨杰拉德（Cantor Fitzgerald）執行長霍華德·盧特尼克（Howard Lutnick）擔任美國財政部長，此舉可能使比特幣合法化。

Musk, who has become a close advisor to president-elect Donald Trump, said Lutnick would "enact change" while his rival candidate Scott Bessent would continue the "business-as-usual" approach that is "driving America bankrupt."

已成為當選總統唐納德·特朗普的親密顧問的馬斯克表示，盧特尼克將“實施變革”，而他的競爭對手候選人斯科特·貝森特將繼續“一切照舊”的做法，“導緻美國破產」。

"My view, for what it's worth, is that Bessent is a business-as-usual choice, whereas Howard will actually enact change," Musk posted to X. "Business-as-usual is driving America bankrupt, so we need change one way or another."

馬斯克在X 上發文說：「就其價值而言，我的觀點是，貝森特是一種一切照舊的選擇，而霍華德實際上會實施變革。」「一切照舊正在導緻美國破產，所以我們需要做出改變。

Musk was responding to an X post made by money manager Kyle Bass, who called hedge fund CEO Bessent "eminently more qualified than Howard Lutnick to run the U.S. Treasury."

馬斯克是在回應基金經理凱爾·巴斯 (Kyle Bass) 發表的 X 帖子，後者稱對沖基金首席執行官貝森特「比霍華德·盧特尼克更有資格管理美國財政部」。

Musk said he'd be "open to" interviewing Bessent and Lutnick on an X Spaces broadcast as his endorsement pushed Lutnick's odds of winning the Treasury secretary role to more-or-less even with Bessent on the crypto-powered prediction platform Polymarket.

馬斯克表示，他願意在X Spaces 廣播中採訪貝森特和盧特尼克，因為他的支持使盧特尼克贏得財政部長職位的可能性或多或少增加，即使貝森特在加密貨幣驅動的預測平台Polymarket 上也是如此。

Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Jr., who was named this week as Trump's Health secretary pick, also backed Lutnick for Trump's Treasury secretary, posting in reply to Bass that "bitcoin will have no stronger advocate" than Lutnik.

與此同時，本週被提名為川普衛生部長人選的小羅伯特·F·肯尼迪(RFK) Jr. 也支持盧特尼克擔任川普財政部長，他在回复巴斯的帖子中表示，“比特幣將沒有比盧特尼克更強有力的支持者」。

"Bitcoin is the currency of freedom, a hedge against inflation for middle class Americans, a remedy against the dollar’s downgrade from the world’s reserve currency, and the offramp from a ruinous national debt," RFK Jr. wrote.

小羅伯特·肯尼迪寫道：“比特幣是自由的貨幣，是美國中產階級抵禦通貨膨脹的工具，是應對美元從世界儲備貨幣地位被降級的補救措施，也是擺脫毀滅性國債的避難所。”

Earlier this month, Lutnick, who is leading Trump's White House transition team, told investor and YouTuber Anthony Pompliano that he has "hundreds of millions of dollars of exposure" to bitcoin.

本月早些時候，領導川普白宮過渡團隊的盧特尼克告訴投資者兼 YouTuber Anthony Pompliano，他擁有「數億美元的比特幣投資」。

"It will be billions," said Lutnick, who manages the assets for the $127 billion USDT stablecoin issuer Tether through Cantor Fitzgerald. "Bitcoin, which is rare and is special, will become ever more rare, ever more valuable, over time it'll be financed just like gold [and] oil. Bitcoin will be way, way, way higher—sometimes lower—you just have to have faith."

「這將是數十億美元，」Lutnick 說道，他透過 Cantor Fitzgerald 管理價值 1270 億美元的 USDT 穩定幣發行商 Tether 的資產。 「比特幣是稀有且特殊的，它將變得越來越稀有，越來越有價值，隨著時間的推移，它將像黃金[和]石油一樣獲得融資。比特幣將會變得越來越高，有時會越來越低，你只是必須有信仰。
