Elon Musk Triumphs in Dismissal of $258 Billion Dogecoin Lawsuit

馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 成功駁回價值 2,580 億美元的狗狗幣訴訟

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has successfully dismissed a high-profile lawsuit accusing him and the company of manipulating the price of Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular meme-based cryptocurrency.

特斯拉執行長馬斯克成功駁回了一項備受矚目的訴訟，該訴訟指控他和該公司操縱狗狗幣（DOGE）的價格，狗狗幣是一種流行的基於模因的加密貨幣。

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled in favor of Musk and Tesla, dismissing the claims filed by a group of disgruntled investors.

週四，美國地區法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 做出了有利於馬斯克和特斯拉的裁決，駁回了一群不滿的投資者提出的索賠。

Tweets Deemed "Puffery" and Non-Actionable

推文被視為「虛誇」且不可操作

The lawsuit, filed in June 2022, alleged that Musk and Tesla inflated the price of DOGE through social media and public statements, subsequently crashing its value and causing significant financial losses for investors.

該訴訟於 2022 年 6 月提起，指控馬斯克和特斯拉透過社群媒體和公開聲明提高 DOGE 的價格，隨後導致其價值暴跌，對投資者造成重大財務損失。

Judge Hellerstein dismissed the accusations, ruling that Musk's statements were "aspirational" and constituted "puffery" rather than actionable claims. He determined that the statements were not "factual and susceptible to being falsified" and that "no reasonable investor could rely upon them" for investment decisions.

海勒斯坦法官駁回了這些指控，裁定馬斯克的言論是“有抱負的”，構成“虛張聲勢”，而不是可採取行動的主張。他認為這些陳述“不真實且容易被偽造”，並且“任何理性的投資者都不能依賴它們”做出投資決策。

The complainants had cited several tweets from Musk, including his declaration of becoming "the official CEO of Dogecoin" and his claim of potentially sending a "literal Dogecoin" to the moon on a SpaceX rocket.

投訴人引用了馬斯克的幾條推文，包括他宣布成為“狗狗幣的官方首席執行官”，以及他聲稱有可能通過 SpaceX 火箭將“真正的狗狗幣”發送到月球。

Lack of Evidence for Pump and Dump Scheme

缺乏拉高轉儲計畫的證據

The investors also accused Musk and Tesla of participating in a "pump and dump" scheme with Dogecoin. However, the judge found that they failed to provide a clear and plausible explanation of how this occurred.

投資者還指責馬斯克和特斯拉參與了狗狗幣的「拉高拋售」計畫。然而，法官發現他們未能對這種情況如何發生提供清晰且合理的解釋。

"It is not possible to understand the allegations that form the basis of plaintiffs' conclusion of market manipulation," Hellerstein stated in his decision.

海勒斯坦在判決中表示：“構成原告市場操縱結論基礎的指控是無法理解的。”

Musk's legal team had previously sought the dismissal of the case, arguing that the investors had not demonstrated Musk's intent to defraud or concealment of risks. They maintained that his tweets, including statements like "Dogecoin Rulz" and "no highs, no lows, only Doge," were too vague to support fraud claims.

馬斯克的法律團隊先前曾尋求駁回此案，認為投資人沒有證明馬斯克有欺詐或隱瞞風險的意圖。他們堅稱，他的推文，包括“Dogecoin Rulz”和“沒有高點，沒有低點，只有 Doge”之類的聲明過於模糊，無法支持欺詐指控。

The attorneys asserted that the court should reject the plaintiffs' "fantasy" and dismiss the complaint.

律師聲稱，法院應該駁回原告的「幻想」並駁回申訴。
