馬斯克資助狗狗幣，設想的區塊鏈社群媒體平台

Elon Musk had considered the possibility of developing a social media platform based on blockchain technology and was heavily involved with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, a biography of the billionaire has revealed.

根據億萬富翁的傳記透露，馬斯克曾考慮開發基於區塊鏈技術的社群媒體平台的可能性，並大力參與加密貨幣狗狗幣。

The book, which should go on sale later this month, also talks about a failed attempt by Sam Bankman-Fried to help Musk in his acquisition of Twitter.

這本書將於本月稍後上市，書中還談到了山姆班克曼弗里德 (Sam Bankman-Fried) 幫助馬斯克收購 Twitter 的失敗嘗試。

How Involved Was Musk With Dogecoin?

馬斯克如何參與狗狗幣？

Leaked pages from the upcoming biography of the billionaire have revealed that Musk was heavily involved with Dogecoin, far more than the community realized. In fact, Musk had quietly been funding the development of Dogecoin, according to the biography. Dogecoin started out as a joke over a decade ago but shot up in popularity thanks to Musk’s endorsements. Musk’s comments on the cryptocurrency were also thought to have influenced its price. In fact, plaintiffs accused him in a class action lawsuit involving Dogecoin of insider trading and inflating the asset’s price.

即將出版的億萬富翁傳記的洩漏頁面顯示，馬斯克對狗狗幣的參與程度遠遠超出了社區的預期。事實上，根據傳記，馬斯克一直在悄悄資助狗狗幣的開發。狗狗幣十多年前最初只是個笑話，但由於馬斯克的支持而迅速流行起來。馬斯克對加密貨幣的評論也被認為影響了其價格。事實上，原告在涉及狗狗幣的集體訴訟中指控他進行內線交易並提高資產價格。

Musk had sought to bring an end to the lawsuit in March, stating that simply tweeting about an asset in support of it is not unlawful. Musk had dubbed himself as the “Dogefather” in a tweet promoting an appearance on Saturday Night Live. He had also changed Twitter’s blue bird logo to the Shiba Inu logo of the DOGE crypto.

馬斯克曾在三月尋求結束訴訟，並表示僅發布有關資產的推文來支持該訴訟並不違法。馬斯克在推特上自稱為“教父”，宣傳他在周六夜現場的亮相。他還將 Twitter 的藍鳥徽標更改為 DOGE 加密貨幣的柴犬徽標。

A New Social Media Platform

一個新的社群媒體平台

A post by crypto journalist Colin Wu highlighted the other aspects of the biography, including developing a social media platform and Sam Bankman-Fried’s failed attempt to invest $5 billion in the acquisition of Twitter.

加密貨幣記者 Colin Wu 的一篇文章強調了傳記的其他方面，包括開發社交媒體平台以及 Sam Bankman-Fried 投資 50 億美元收購 Twitter 的失敗嘗試。

“The biography of Elon Musk, which will be published on September 12, revealed that he has been quietly funding the development of DOGECOIN; considered creating a social media based on blockchain and including payment; SBF ultimately failed to invest 5 billion to help acquire Twitter, and they think each other is crazy.”

將於 9 月 12 日出版的馬斯克傳記透露，他一直在悄悄資助狗狗幣的開發；考慮創建基於區塊鏈並包括支付的社交媒體； SBF最終未能投資50億美元幫助收購Twitter，他們都認為對方瘋了。”

The leaked pages also discuss Musk’s idea of creating a social media platform where users could pay for verification. Over time, Musk’s brother Kimbal suggested that a new social media platform be built with the ideas Musk put forward. Musk was reportedly extremely excited by the idea of a social media platform where users could send money to one another, and creators would be paid for their stories, videos, and music.

洩漏的頁面還討論了馬斯克創建一個社交媒體平台的想法，用戶可以在該平台上付費進行驗證。隨著時間的推移，馬斯克的弟弟金巴爾建議用馬斯克提出的想法建立一個新的社群媒體平台。據報道，馬斯克對社交媒體平台的想法感到非常興奮，用戶可以在該平台上互相匯款，創作者將因其故事、視頻和音樂而獲得報酬。

At this point, Musk mentioned that the platform could have a payment that utilized Dogecoin. Musk had also wanted to work on a “blockchain social media system that did short messages and payments like Twitter. However, Musk went on to purchase Twitter for $44 billion. Since then, Twitter has been rebranded to X, in line with the original idea Musk had in mind. X has received a license to offer payments in multiple states. However, there is no indication that Dogecoin will be implemented as a mode of payment on X.

此時，馬斯克提到該平台可以使用狗狗幣進行支付。馬斯克還想開發一個「區塊鏈社交媒體系統，可以像 Twitter 一樣發送簡訊和付款。然而，馬斯克隨後以 440 億美元收購了 Twitter。此後，Twitter 更名為 X，這與馬斯克最初的想法是一致的。 X 已獲得在多個州提供支付服務的許可。然而，沒有跡象表明狗狗幣將作為 X 上的支付方式實施。

Sam Bankman-Fried’s Failed Twitter Investment

The biography also talks about a failed attempt by the founder and ex-chief executive of the now-bankrupt FTX exchange to invest $5 billion and help Musk acquire Twitter. However, following the collapse of FTX, Musk stated that neither he nor Twitter had taken any investment from Sam Bankman-Fried or FTX. The biography on Musk, written by Walter Isaacson, is set for release on September 12.

該傳記還談到了現已破產的 FTX 交易所創始人兼前執行長試圖投資 50 億美元幫助馬斯克收購 Twitter 的失敗嘗試。然而，在 FTX 倒閉後，馬斯克表示，他和 Twitter 都沒有接受 Sam Bankman-Fried 或 FTX 的任何投資。由沃爾特·艾薩克森 (Walter Isaacson) 撰寫的馬斯克傳記將於 9 月 12 日發行。
