Elon Musk faces a challenging scenario in his attempt to contest the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

馬斯克（Elon Musk）在試圖競爭美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的過程中面臨著充滿挑戰的局面。

On Oct. 5, the SEC announced legal action that aims to force Musk to comply with a subpoena and provide testimony regarding his acquisition of Twitter (now X). Musk received that subpoena in May and attempted to avoid the order. He submitted an objection just days before a September hearing date that he did not attend.

10 月 5 日，SEC 宣布採取法律行動，旨在迫使馬斯克遵守傳票並提供有關他收購 Twitter（現為 X）的證詞。馬斯克於五月收到了該傳票，並試圖迴避該命令。就在 9 月聽證會日期前幾天，他提出了反對意見，但他沒有出席。

Though it is unclear whether Musk intends to resist the SEC’s demands, experts have now suggested that any legal challenge is unlikely to succeed.

儘管尚不清楚馬斯克是否打算抵制美國證券交易委員會的要求，但專家現在表示任何法律挑戰都不太可能成功。

Stephen Crimmins, a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine, told Reuters:

Davis Wright Tremaine 合夥人 Stephen Crimmins 告訴路透社：

“This case is different from past forays between the SEC and Elon Musk because it’s a subpoena enforcement case. These cases are really cut and dry … The law provides the SEC has subpoena power to take investigative testimony and gather documents.”

「此案與 SEC 和伊隆馬斯克之間以往的嘗試不同，因為這是一起傳票執行案件。這些案件確實很簡單……法律規定 SEC 有權傳喚調查證詞並收集文件。”

Other lawyers also commented on the case. Howard Fischer of Moses & Singer noted that the SEC only needs to show that the subpoena is part of its legitimate attempts to obtain testimony in order to compel to Musk to testify.  Meanwhile, Mukasey Frenchman partner Robert Frenchman  opined: “I don’t think it’s likely [that Musk] wins this battle.”

其他律師也對此案發表了評論。 Moses & Singer 的霍華德費雪指出，美國證券交易委員會只需證明傳票是其合法取得證詞的一部分，即可迫使馬斯克作證。與此同時，穆卡西·法國人合夥人羅伯特·弗倫奇曼表示：“我認為（馬斯克）不太可能贏得這場戰鬥。”

Lawyers also told Reuters that Musk will likely be fined until he agrees to testify, though he could face a jail sentence in extreme circumstances.

律師還告訴路透社，馬斯克可能會被罰款，直到他同意作證，儘管在極端情況下他可能會面臨監禁。

Each of the above commentators has past experience in related matters. Crimmins and Fischer have both formerly served as SEC lawyers, while Frenchman has defended clients in cases initiated by the securities agency.

上述每位評論員都有過相關事務的經驗。克里明斯和費雪都曾擔任 SEC 律師，而弗倫奇曼則在該證券機構發起的案件中為客戶辯護。

Musk’s case is of interest to crypto community

加密貨幣社群對馬斯克的案例感興趣

The SEC’s current and past lawsuits against Musk do not concern cryptocurrency. However,  the current case should be of interest to the crypto community because it has recently pushed for resistance to the securities agency’s regulatory overreach.

美國證券交易委員會目前和過去針對馬斯克的訴訟與加密貨幣無關。然而，目前的案例應該會引起加密貨幣社群的興趣，因為它最近一直在推動抵制證券機構的過度監管。

Musk himself has now called for an overhaul of the SEC, joining other individuals who have challenged the agency including House Republican Tom Emmer and one of the SEC’s own commissioners, Hester Peirce. Several crypto companies including Coinbase, Ripple, and Grayscale have recently fought the SEC as well.

馬斯克本人現在也呼籲對SEC 進行徹底改革，他加入了其他挑戰該機構的人士行列，其中包括眾議院共和黨人湯姆·埃默(Tom Emmer) 和SEC 自己的委員之一海絲特·皮爾斯(Hester Peirce)。包括 Coinbase、Ripple 和 Grayscale 在內的幾家加密公司最近也與 SEC 進行了鬥爭。

Tangentially, Musk faces a class action suit concerning his promotion of Dogecoin (DOGE). Though the SEC did not initiate this case, it in part alleges securities fraud.

順便說一句，馬斯克面臨有關他推廣狗狗幣（DOGE）的集體訴訟。儘管美國證券交易委員會並未提起此案，但它部分指控證券詐欺。
