Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said in a social media post on on Nov. 3 that his various companies will never issue a cryptocurrency token.

億萬富翁企業家 Elon Musk 11 月 3 日在社群媒體貼文中表示，他旗下的多家公司永遠不會發行加密貨幣代幣。

Musk stated:

馬斯克表示：

“To be super clear, none of my companies will ever create a crypto token.”

“非常明確的是，我的公司都不會創建加密代幣。”

Musk made that comment in response to news about a token that is attempting to capitalize on a new product from his AI firm, xAI, called Grok. Though that company and project are legitimate, any crypto tokens that use those names are not legitimate.

馬斯克是在回應有關代幣試圖利用他的人工智慧公司 xAI 的新產品 Grok 的消息時發表上述評論的。儘管該公司和專案是合法的，但使用這些名稱的任何加密代幣都是不合法的。

Musk’s statement indicates that the other companies that he owns or leads — including his rebranded Twitter app X, his automotive company Tesla, and his spacecraft and launch company SpaceX — will not issue a cryptocurrency of their own.

馬斯克的聲明表明，他擁有或領導的其他公司——包括他重新命名的Twitter 應用程式X、他的汽車公司特斯拉以及他的太空船和發射公司SpaceX——不會發行自己的加密貨幣。

Despite that warning, there appear to be numerous tokens in circulation that intend to capitalize on Musk’s companies and their popularity in the crypto sphere. On the Ethereum blockchain alone, there are 260 tokens that mention SpaceX, 497 tokens that mention Tesla, and countless others that mention Twitter or X.

儘管有這樣的警告，似乎仍有大量流通中的代幣打算利用馬斯克的公司及其在加密領域的受歡迎程度。光是在以太坊區塊鏈上，就有 260 個提到 SpaceX 的代幣，497 個提到 Tesla 的代幣，以及無數其他提到 Twitter 或 X 的代幣。

Though few of those tokens have any market value, some have become high-profile scams. In January 2023, Forbes listed 25 notable Elon Musk-themed scams, including a number of cryptocurrency scams and fake coin offerings.

儘管這些代幣中很少有任何市場價值，但有些已經成為引人注目的騙局。 2023 年 1 月，《富比士》列出了 25 個著名的以伊隆馬斯克為主題的騙局，其中包括一些加密貨幣騙局和假幣發行。

Musk’s companies already make use of crypto

馬斯克的公司已經在使用加密貨幣

Though Musk’s firms will not issue new crypto tokens, those companies do make use of existing cryptocurrencies. Tesla holds about $184 million of cryptocurrency, largely or entirely Bitcoin, and accepts Dogecoin for some merchandise transactions.

儘管馬斯克的公司不會發行新的加密貨幣，但這些公司確實利用了現有的加密貨幣。特斯拉持有約 1.84 億美元的加密貨幣，其中大部分或全部是比特幣，並接受狗狗幣進行某些商品交易。

Elsewhere, X supports Bitcoin tipping. The firm is also planning to introduce extensive payment features that may or may not include support for crypto transactions.

在其他地方，X 支援比特幣小費。該公司還計劃推出廣泛的支付功能，其中可能包括或不包括對加密交易的支援。

SpaceX, finally, held an unspecified amount of Bitcoin as recently as 2021. One of the company’s customers has also funded a SpaceX mission, called DOGE-1, with Dogecoin; that mission is currently expected to launch in January 2024.

最後，直到 2021 年，SpaceX 才持有了數量不詳的比特幣。該公司的一位客戶還用狗狗幣資助了 SpaceX 的一項名為 DOGE-1 的任務；該任務目前預計將於 2024 年 1 月發射。
