Lawsuit Against Elon Musk and Tesla Over Dogecoin Price Manipulation Concludes

针对埃隆·马斯克和特斯拉的狗狗币价格操纵诉讼结束

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 Investors who filed the suit have withdrawn their appeal, according to Reuters.

指控埃隆·马斯克和特斯拉公司操纵狗狗币价格的集体诉讼已经结束。据路透社报道，提起诉讼的投资者已撤回上诉。

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.

该诉讼指控马斯克和特斯拉通过推文和公开声明影响狗狗币（DOGE）的价格。其中一项关键指控是马斯克在 2021 年出现在 NBC 的《周六夜现场》中，原告声称他的言论影响了 DOGE 的价格，并使他能够从其飙升中获利。

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.

投诉人认为，马斯克在推文中称自己为“狗狗币首席执行官”，并在自己的传记中添加了狗狗币标志，这些言论属于操纵性言论。该诉讼还引用了有关模因币有可能成为全球金融标准的评论。

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

据称，DOGE 的价格经常在这些评论之后飙升，其中包括有关特斯拉接受加密货币作为支付选项的评论。

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.

该诉讼要求马斯克赔偿 2580 亿美元的损失。美国地区法官阿尔文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 于 8 月驳回了此案，但投资者对此判决提出上诉。

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，撤回上诉实际上结束了内幕交易和欺诈指控。这一进展是在马斯克的律师撤回针对投资者法律代表要求巨额法律费用的动议后不久发生的。

Judge Hellerstein must now approve the withdrawal motions.

海勒斯坦法官现在必须批准撤回动议。

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，投资者决定撤回此案是在美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普提名埃隆·马斯克和维韦克·拉马斯瓦米领导新的政府效率部两天后。消息公布后，DOGE 的价格大幅上涨。
