Lawsuit Against Elon Musk and Tesla Over Dogecoin Price Manipulation Concludes

針對馬斯克和特斯拉的狗狗幣價格操縱訴訟結束

A class-action lawsuit alleging that Elon Musk and Tesla Inc. manipulated the price of Dogecoin has come to an end. Investors who filed the suit have withdrawn their appeal, according to Reuters.

指控馬斯克和特斯拉公司操縱狗狗幣價格的集體訴訟已經結束。路透社報道，提起訴訟的投資者已撤回上訴。

The lawsuit accused Musk and Tesla of influencing Dogecoin's (DOGE) price through tweets and public statements. One key allegation was Musk's appearance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in 2021, where the plaintiffs claimed his remarks impacted DOGE's price and allowed him to profit from its surge.

該訴訟指控馬斯克和特斯拉透過推文和公開聲明影響狗狗幣（DOGE）的價格。其中一項關鍵指控是馬斯克在 2021 年出現在 NBC 的《週六夜現場》中，原告聲稱他的言論影響了 DOGE 的價格，並使他能夠從其飆升中獲利。

Musk's tweets referring to himself as "Dogecoin's CEO" and adding the DOGE symbol to his biography were among the statements the complainants deemed manipulative. The lawsuit also cited comments about the meme coin's potential to become a global financial standard.

投訴人認為，馬斯克在推文中稱自己為“狗狗幣首席執行官”，並在自己的傳記中添加了狗狗幣標誌，這些言論屬於操縱性言論。該訴訟還引用了有關模因幣有可能成為全球金融標準的評論。

Allegedly, DOGE's price often spiked following these comments, including one about Tesla's acceptance of the cryptocurrency as a payment option.

據稱，DOGE 的價格經常在這些評論之後飆升，其中包括有關特斯拉接受加密貨幣作為支付選項的評論。

The lawsuit sought $258 billion in damages from Musk. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein dismissed the case in August, but the investors appealed the decision.

該訴訟要求馬斯克賠償 2,580 億美元的損失。美國地區法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 於 8 月駁回了此案，但投資者對此判決提出上訴。

However, the withdrawal of the appeal effectively ends the insider trading and fraud allegations. This development comes shortly after Musk's lawyers withdrew his motion against the investors' legal representatives over demands for substantial legal fees.

然而，撤回上訴實際上結束了內線交易和欺詐指控。這項進展是在馬斯克的律師撤回針對投資者法律代表要求巨額法律費用的動議後不久發生的。

Judge Hellerstein must now approve the withdrawal motions.

海勒斯坦法官現在必須批准撤回動議。

Notably, the investors' decision to withdraw the case occurred two days after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump nominated Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE's price saw a significant increase following the announcement.

值得注意的是，投資人決定撤回此案是在美國當選總統唐納德·川普提名伊隆·馬斯克和維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米領導新的政府效率部兩天后。消息公佈後，DOGE 的價格大幅上漲。
