Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said in a social media post on on Nov. 3 that his various companies will never issue a cryptocurrency token.

亿万富翁企业家埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 11 月 3 日在社交媒体帖子中表示，他旗下的多家公司永远不会发行加密货币代币。

Musk stated:

马斯克表示：

“To be super clear, none of my companies will ever create a crypto token.”

“非常明确的是，我的公司都不会创建加密代币。”

Musk made that comment in response to news about a token that is attempting to capitalize on a new product from his AI firm, xAI, called Grok. Though that company and project are legitimate, any crypto tokens that use those names are not legitimate.

马斯克是在回应有关代币试图利用他的人工智能公司 xAI 的新产品 Grok 的消息时发表上述评论的。尽管该公司和项目是合法的，但使用这些名称的任何加密代币都是不合法的。

Musk’s statement indicates that the other companies that he owns or leads — including his rebranded Twitter app X, his automotive company Tesla, and his spacecraft and launch company SpaceX — will not issue a cryptocurrency of their own.

马斯克的声明表明，他拥有或领导的其他公司——包括他重新命名的 Twitter 应用程序 X、他的汽车公司特斯拉以及他的航天器和发射公司 SpaceX——不会发行自己的加密货币。

Despite that warning, there appear to be numerous tokens in circulation that intend to capitalize on Musk’s companies and their popularity in the crypto sphere. On the Ethereum blockchain alone, there are 260 tokens that mention SpaceX, 497 tokens that mention Tesla, and countless others that mention Twitter or X.

尽管有这样的警告，似乎仍有大量流通中的代币打算利用马斯克的公司及其在加密领域的受欢迎程度。仅在以太坊区块链上，就有 260 个提到 SpaceX 的代币，497 个提到 Tesla 的代币，以及无数其他提到 Twitter 或 X 的代币。

Though few of those tokens have any market value, some have become high-profile scams. In January 2023, Forbes listed 25 notable Elon Musk-themed scams, including a number of cryptocurrency scams and fake coin offerings.

尽管这些代币中很少有任何市场价值，但有些已经成为引人注目的骗局。 2023 年 1 月，《福布斯》列出了 25 个著名的以埃隆·马斯克为主题的骗局，其中包括一些加密货币骗局和假币发行。

Musk’s companies already make use of crypto

马斯克的公司已经在使用加密货币

Though Musk’s firms will not issue new crypto tokens, those companies do make use of existing cryptocurrencies. Tesla holds about $184 million of cryptocurrency, largely or entirely Bitcoin, and accepts Dogecoin for some merchandise transactions.

尽管马斯克的公司不会发行新的加密货币，但这些公司确实利用了现有的加密货币。特斯拉持有约 1.84 亿美元的加密货币，其中大部分或全部是比特币，并接受狗狗币进行某些商品交易。

Elsewhere, X supports Bitcoin tipping. The firm is also planning to introduce extensive payment features that may or may not include support for crypto transactions.

在其他地方，X 支持比特币小费。该公司还计划推出广泛的支付功能，其中可能包括也可能不包括对加密交易的支持。

SpaceX, finally, held an unspecified amount of Bitcoin as recently as 2021. One of the company’s customers has also funded a SpaceX mission, called DOGE-1, with Dogecoin; that mission is currently expected to launch in January 2024.

最后，直到 2021 年，SpaceX 才持有了数量不详的比特币。该公司的一位客户还用狗狗币资助了 SpaceX 的一项名为 DOGE-1 的任务；该任务目前预计将于 2024 年 1 月发射。
