Elon Musk ROFLs Over Lucid's Ginormous Q1 Loss And CEO Rawlinson's Claims About What Really Sets Tesla Rival Apart
Musk also reacted similarly to comments made by Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson during the company's first-quarter Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk couldn't resist poking fun at rival EV maker Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID), following the latter's report of a staggering net loss of $680.9 million for the first quarter after generating just $172.7 million in revenue.
特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）首席执行官埃隆·马斯克忍不住要取笑竞争对手电动汽车制造商Lucid Group（纳斯达克股票代码：LCID），此前后者报告称，在收入仅为1.727亿美元之后，第一季度净亏损惊人地达到6.809亿美元。
What Happened: In response to a Twitter user's suggestion that Lucid might mitigate its losses by giving away free Tesla Model 3s and halting its own car production, Musk simply replied with a laughing emoji.
发生了什么：一位推特用户暗示Lucid可以通过免费赠送特斯拉Model 3并停止自己的汽车生产来减轻损失，在回应时，马斯克只是用笑的表情符号回答。
Lucid incurred a net loss of over $346,000 for every vehicle delivered in the first quarter.
Lucid在第一季度交付的每辆汽车的净亏损超过34.6万美元。

Musk also reacted similarly to comments made by Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson during the company's first-quarter earnings call, particularly regarding their in-house technology and partnership with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
马斯克也对Lucid首席执行官彼得·罗林森在公司第一季度财报电话会议上发表的评论做出了类似的反应，特别是关于其内部技术以及与沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金的合作伙伴关系的评论。
"Now I believe there are two key factors that really set Lucid apart. Our superior in-house technology and our partnership with the PIF, who have been steadfast investors and partners," Rawlinson said.
“现在我相信有两个关键因素真正让 Lucid 与众不同。我们卓越的内部技术以及与PIF的合作伙伴关系，他们一直是坚定的投资者和合作伙伴，” 罗林森说。

Why It Matters: This ongoing banter highlights Musk's long-standing criticism of Lucid and its CEO. Last year, Musk warned of potential bankruptcy for Lucid due to excessive spending and predicted they would "end up in the cemetery" unless they slashed costs.
为何重要：这种持续的玩笑凸显了马斯克长期以来对Lucid及其首席执行官的批评。去年，马斯克警告说，由于支出过多，Lucid可能会破产，并预测除非削减成本，否则他们将 “进入墓地”。
Earlier this year, he remarked that "Their Saudi sugar daddy is the only thing keeping them alive," referring to the significant investment from PIF, totaling about $6.4 billion since 2018.
今年早些时候，他表示 “他们的沙特傍大款是唯一能让他们活下去的东西”，他指的是PIF的巨额投资，自2018年以来总额约为64亿美元。
Musk has also questioned Rawlinson's compensation, considering it excessive given the company's performance. He criticized a $6 million cash bonus approved for the CEO in February, claiming it was disproportionate to Rawlinson's actual contributions.
马斯克还质疑罗林森的薪酬，认为鉴于该公司的业绩，薪酬过高。他批评了2月份批准的针对首席执行官的600万美元现金奖励，声称这与罗林森的实际缴款不成比例。
Moreover, Musk has disputed Rawlinson's claimed role as the chief engineer for Tesla's Model S, alleging that Rawlinson joined the company after the Model S prototype phase and left before production began.
此外，马斯克对罗林森声称担任特斯拉Model S总工程师的角色提出异议，声称罗林森在Model S原型阶段之后加入该公司，并在生产开始之前就离开了。
