法官驳回 $258B 诉讼，该诉讼声称埃隆·马斯克精心策划了“加密金字塔计划”

提起诉讼近两年后，美国纽约南区地方法院法官阿尔文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 决定撤销寻求 2580 亿美元损害赔偿的诉讼。

A United States court has dismissed a class action lawsuit that sought a whopping $258 billion in damages from Elon Musk and his companies, SpaceX and Tesla. The lawsuit, filed almost two years ago, accused Musk of orchestrating a “crypto pyramid scheme” and using his status as the world’s richest person to manipulate the price of Dogecoin (DOGE).

美国一家法院驳回了一项集体诉讼，该诉讼要求埃隆·马斯克及其公司 SpaceX 和特斯拉赔偿高达 2580 亿美元的损失。该诉讼大约在两年前提起，指控马斯克策划了“加密金字塔计划”，并利用他作为世界首富的地位操纵狗狗币（DOGE）的价格。

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that Musk’s actions led to losses for investors and that his statements about DOGE could be construed as a “Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme.” They alleged that Musk promoted the cryptocurrency to profit from the volatility he created.

诉讼中的原告声称，马斯克的行为给投资者带来了损失，他关于DOGE的言论可以被解释为“狗狗币金字塔计划”。他们声称马斯克推广加密货币是为了从他创造的波动性中获利。

Specifically, the lawsuit pointed to Musk's appearance on Saturday Night Live in 2021, during which he portrayed a financial expert in a skit and briefly mentioned DOGE, calling it "a hustle." Following the skit, the price of DOGE dropped over 25% from its all-time high of $0.73 and has not recovered to those levels since.

具体来说，诉讼指向马斯克在 2021 年出现在《周六夜现场》中，期间他在一个短剧中扮演了一位金融专家，并简短地提到了 DOGE，称其为“一场骗局”。短剧发生后，DOGE 的价格从 0.73 美元的历史高点下跌了 25% 以上，此后一直没有恢复到这些水平。

However, in his Aug. 29 decision, Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the lawsuit, stating that Musk's statements about DOGE were "aspirational and puffery, not factual" and were "susceptible to being falsified." He added that no “reasonable investor could rely upon them” to make investment decisions.

然而，美国纽约南区地方法院法官阿尔文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 在 8 月 29 日的裁决中驳回了诉讼，称马斯克关于 DOGE 的陈述“是空想和夸大的，而不是事实”，并且“容易被伪造” ”。他补充说，“理性的投资者不能依赖它们”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, or insider trading, underscoring 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、市场操纵或内幕交易的指控，强调“不可能理解构成这些指控基础的指控”。

Musk's legal team had previously urged the court to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the Tesla CEO's support for dogecoin on social media alone was too imprecise to quantify as allegations of fraud.

马斯克的法律团队此前曾敦促法院驳回诉讼，认为特斯拉首席执行官仅在社交媒体上对狗狗币的支持过于不准确，无法量化为欺诈指控。

At the time of publication, dogecoin's price showed no reaction to the dismissal and was down 86.4% from its all-time high price.

截至发稿时，狗狗币的价格对解雇没有任何反应，比历史最高价下跌了 86.4%。

It's worth noting that Musk has largely distanced himself from the cryptocurrency sector in recent years. His electric vehicle company, Tesla, which once embraced Bitcoin (BTC) as a form of payment, reversed its decision shortly after Musk's SNL appearance. However, the company has reportedly held onto its BTC

值得注意的是，马斯克近年来在很大程度上与加密货币领域保持了距离。他的电动汽车公司特斯拉曾一度接受比特币（BTC）作为支付方式，但在马斯克出现在《周六夜现场》后不久就改变了决定。然而，据报道该公司一直持有其 BTC
