Elon Musk and Tesla Win Lawsuit Alleging Market Manipulation and Insider Trading

伊隆馬斯克和特斯拉贏得指控市場操縱和內線交易的訴訟

Elon Musk and Tesla have prevailed in a lawsuit accusing them of manipulating the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) and engaging in insider trading.

伊隆馬斯克和特斯拉在一場訴訟中獲勝，指控他們操縱狗狗幣（DOGE）的價格並參與內線交易。

On August 29, 2024, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan dismissed claims that Musk violated securities laws through social media posts about DOGE. The judge ruled that Musk's tweets were aspirational rather than factual representations.

2024 年 8 月 29 日，美國曼哈頓地區法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 駁回了馬斯克透過社群媒體發布有關 DOGE 的貼文違反證券法的指控。法官裁定馬斯克的推文是願望而非事實陳述。

The lawsuit, filed in June 2023, alleged that Musk inflated DOGE's price by over 36,000% through tweets and other social media posts. The plaintiffs claimed that Musk then sold his DOGE holdings at the peak, causing significant investor losses.

該訴訟於 2023 年 6 月提起，指控馬斯克透過推文和其他社群媒體貼文將 DOGE 的價格誇大了 36,000% 以上。原告聲稱，馬斯克隨後在高峰時出售了其持有的 DOGE 股份，導致投資者遭受重大損失。

However, Judge Hellerstein found that Musk's tweets were not intended to be relied upon as statements of fact. Instead, he ruled that they were "puffery" or "aspirational statements" not subject to securities laws.

然而，海勒斯坦法官發現馬斯克的推文不應被視為事實陳述。相反，他裁定這些內容是“吹噓”或“雄心勃勃的陳述”，不受證券法的約束。

The ruling represents a significant victory for Musk and Tesla, as the lawsuit had the potential to hold them liable for billions of dollars in damages.

該裁決對馬斯克和特斯拉來說是一次重大勝利，因為該訴訟可能會讓他們承擔數十億美元的損失。
