Errol Musk推出了“ Musk It” Memecoin，希望為新的智囊團籌集2億美元

從唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）到“霍克·圖阿（Hawk Tuah）女孩”（Hawk Tuah Girl）的每個人都推出了自己的加密貨幣，但到目前為止，世界上最著名的企業家尚未採取行動。

Despite pro-crypto leanings and a massive social media following, Elon Musk has resisted hawking a digital token bearing his name. Now, his father has other ideas.

儘管Pro-Crypto傾向和廣泛的社交媒體關注，但Elon Musk還是抵制了以他的名字命名的數字代幣。現在，他的父親還有其他想法。

Errol Musk, who reportedly has a fraught relationship with his son, and his business partner, Nathan Browne, told Fortune they hope to raise between $150 million and $200 million from a token project called “Musk It.”

據報導，埃羅爾·馬斯克（Errol Musk）與他的兒子和他的商業夥伴內森·布朗（Nathan Browne）有著充實的關係。

Errol Musk plans to use the proceeds to support a new, for-profit think tank called the Musk Institute that he is founding.

埃羅爾·馬斯克（Errol Musk）計劃利用收益來支持一個名為Musk Institute的新的，營利性的智囊團。

Memecoins, typically tied to online jokes or personalities, are prone to sudden wipeouts that leave investors holding the bag. But the senior Musk says he has no qualms about monetizing his name on a memecoin that many would-be buyers will inevitably associate with his famous son.

通常與在線笑話或個性相關的模因，很容易突然消滅，這些煙霧使投資者拿著袋子。但是，高級馬斯克說，他對在一個模因中的名字貨幣化並不疑惑，許多可能的買家將不可避免地與他的著名兒子交往。

“I’m the head of the family,” Errol told Fortune over a video call from his home in Cape Town. “It really started with me in our family—I’ve been ‘Musking It’ for years.”

“我是家庭的負責人，”埃羅爾（Errol）在他在開普敦（Cape Town）的家中的視頻通話中告訴《財富》。 “這確實始於我的家庭 - 多年來，我一直在'withing'。”

Errol Musk and Browne are not the designers of the Musk It coin, which a Middle Eastern–based crypto company launched in December to little fanfare. Instead, Errol Musk explained, they approved the name and decided to partner on the token after coming up with the idea for the Musk Institute late last year. He is now ready to publicly endorse the Musk It coin.

Errol Musk和Browne並不是IT幣的設計師，這是一家基於中東的加密貨幣公司於12月成立的，這是Little Fanfare的。取而代之的是，埃羅爾·馬斯克（Errol Musk）解釋說，他們批准了這個名字，並在去年年底提出了馬斯克研究所的想法後決定與該令牌合作。現在，他準備公開認可它的貨幣。

While cryptocurrency projects typically release detailed “tokenomics” to explain their funding and how the tokens will be distributed, there is little public information about Musk It. Errol and Browne have offered few additional details.

儘管加密貨幣項目通常會發布詳細的“令牌學”來解釋其資金以及如何分發令牌，但關於Musk It的公共信息很少。 Errol和Browne提供了一些其他細節。

While the plans surrounding the project remain vague, Errol Musk’s decision to launch a “Musk” token could further fray his relationship with his celebrity son.

儘管圍繞該項目的計劃仍然模糊，但埃羅爾·馬斯克（Errol Musk）決定發起“麝香”代幣的決定可能會進一步削弱他與名人兒子的關係。

Elon Musk’s biographer Walter Isaacson described Errol in late 2023 as sometimes “possessed by fantasies and conspiracies” during Elon’s childhood and described his relationship with his son as estranged.

埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的傳記作者沃爾特·艾薩克森（Walter Isaacson）在埃隆（Elon）的童年時期將埃羅爾（Errol）描述為2023年，有時是“被幻想和陰謀所擁有的”，並將他與兒子的關係描述為疏遠。

When asked about this characterization, Errol Musk told Fortune the book was “absolute rubbish” and claimed he has recently spent time with both Elon and his other son, Kimbal. Errol emphasized that neither is involved with the cryptocurrency or think tank.

當被問及這種特徵時，埃羅爾·馬斯克（Errol Musk）告訴《財富》這本書是“絕對垃圾”，並聲稱他最近與埃隆（Elon）和他的另一個兒子金巴爾（Kimbal）一起度過了時光。 Errol強調，都不參與加密貨幣或智囊團。

Representatives for Elon and Kimbal Musk did not respond to a request for comment.

Elon和Kimbal Musk的代表沒有回應置評請求。

Like his son—who runs a staggering array of companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and X—Errol Musk has long been an entrepreneur.

就像他的兒子一樣，他經營著包括特斯拉，太空X和X在內的驚人的公司，長期以來一直是企業家。

The son of a cryptographer and military intelligence officer, Errol Musk studied engineering before working on building hotels and factories. He also pursued careers in politics and emerald importing, according to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk.

埃羅爾·馬斯克（Errol Musk）是一位密碼學家和軍事情報官的兒子，在建造酒店和工廠之前就學習了工程學。根據沃爾特·艾薩克森（Walter Isaacson）的埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的傳記，他還從事政治事業和翡翠進口的職業。

Isaacson also describes the emotional “scars” that Errol imparted on Elon during his childhood, including alleged verbal abuse of his sons and physical abuse of his ex-wife and Elon’s mother, Maye. Maye has spoken publicly about the abuse but did not respond to a request from Fortune for comment. Errol has denied the claims.

艾薩克森（Isaacson）還描述了埃隆（Errol）在童年時期對埃隆（Elon）授予的情感“傷疤”，包括據稱對他的兒子的口頭虐待以及對他的前妻和埃隆的母親梅耶（Maye）的身體虐待。 Maye公開談論了這種虐待，但沒有回應《財富》提出的置評請求。埃羅爾否認了這些主張。

According to Isaacson, Errol’s relationship with his sons became estranged after Errol impregnated his stepdaughter, Jana. “I was actually slowly making amends with my father,” Kimbal told Isaacson, “but then he had a child with Jana, and I said, ‘You’re done, you’re out. I never want to speak to you again.’ And I haven’t spoken to him since.”

根據艾薩克森（Isaacson）的說法，埃羅爾（Errol）與兒子的關係在埃洛爾（Errol）浸漬了他的繼女賈娜（Jana）之後疏遠了。金巴爾告訴艾薩克森：“我實際上正在慢慢與父親進行修改，但是他和賈娜（Jana）生了一個孩子，我說，'你做完了，你出去了。我再也不想和你說話了。從那以後我就再也沒有和他說話了。”

Isaacson writes that Errol Musk is a “charismatic fantasist who to this day bedevils Elon.” Their often tumultuous relationship has been referenced by Elon himself, who told Rolling Stone in 2017 that Errol was “such a terrible human being” who “will have a carefully thought-out plan of evil.” In the biography, which was published in September 2023, Isaacson wrote that they are estranged, with Elon taking active steps to cut off contact.

艾薩克森（Isaacson）寫道，埃羅爾·馬斯克（Errol Musk）是“至今貝德維爾·埃隆（Elon）的魅力般的幻想家”。他們經常被埃隆本人引用了他們經常動蕩的關係，埃隆本人在2017年告訴滾石樂隊，埃羅爾是“如此可怕的人”，“將有一個精心考慮的邪惡計劃”。艾薩森（Isaacson）在2023年9月出版的傳記中寫道，他們是疏遠的，埃隆（Elon）採取了積極的步驟來切斷聯繫。

Errol denied the claims, telling Fortune that his decision to launch Musk It coin was in part inspired by his son inviting him to a SpaceX launch in late 2023, where Elon told the assembled staff that his father “taught me everything I know about engineering.” (This anecdote has not been confirmed by Elon, but the reunion was reported by The Sun.)

Errol否認了這一說法，並告訴Fortune，他決定發射Musk幣的決定，部分原因是他的兒子邀請他參加2023年末的SpaceX發射，埃隆在那兒告訴組裝員工，他的父親“教會了我我所知道的有關工程學的一切。透明（埃隆（Elon）尚未確認這種軼事，但《太陽報》報導了團聚。）

After Errol’s interview with Fortune, his business partner on the Musk Institute and memecoin, Nathan Browne, forwarded a lengthy email written by Errol disputing allegations from the Isaacson biography and other media reports, including that he is estranged from his children and that he physically abused Maye.

在埃羅爾（Errol）接受《財富》（Fortune）的採訪後，他在馬斯克研究所（Musk Institute）和內森·布朗（Nathan Browne）的商業夥伴內森·布朗（Nathan Browne）轉發了一封由埃羅爾（Errol）撰寫的冗長的電子郵件，與艾薩克森（Isaacson）傳記和其他媒體報導的指控作出了爭議，其中包括他與孩子疏遠，他在物理上遭受了虐待梅。

Errol claims he and his son had a call earlier this month where Elon inquired about the project after seeing previous media reports, but Errol assured him that he was carrying out the plans on his own.

埃羅爾（Errol）聲稱，他和他的兒子在本月初打了電話，埃隆（Elon）在看到以前的媒體報導後詢問了該項目，但埃羅爾（Errol）向他保證，他正在自己執行計劃。

Errol told Fortune his goal for Musk It is to advance his own scientific interests, including flying vehicles, by using

埃羅爾告訴《財富》他的馬斯克目標是通過使用自己的科學利益，包括飛行的車輛
