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

埃隆·马斯克和特斯拉赢得指控市场操纵和内幕交易的诉讼

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

埃隆·马斯克和特斯拉在一场诉讼中获胜，指控他们操纵狗狗币（DOGE）的价格并参与内幕交易。

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，美国曼哈顿地区法官阿尔文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 驳回了马斯克通过社交媒体发布有关 DOGE 的帖子违反证券法的指控。法官裁定马斯克的推文是愿望而非事实陈述。

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.

该诉讼于 2023 年 6 月提起，指控马斯克通过推文和其他社交媒体帖子将 DOGE 的价格夸大了 36,000% 以上。原告声称，马斯克随后在高峰时出售了其持有的 DOGE 股份，导致投资者遭受重大损失。

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，海勒斯坦法官发现马斯克的推文不应被视为事实陈述。相反，他裁定这些内容是“吹嘘”或“雄心勃勃的陈述”，不受证券法的约束。

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.

该裁决对马斯克和特斯拉来说是一次重大胜利，因为该诉讼可能会让他们承担数十亿美元的损失。
