Tesla has an online shop with company merchandise. Though it currently only allows payment in dollars, it previously allowed users to make payments with Dogecoin. Earlier this year, Musk even suggested in an address during his visit to Giga Berlin that the company would accept Dogecoin as an official form of payment for its cars at some point.
特斯拉有一家在线商店销售公司商品。虽然目前只接受美元支付，但之前允许用户使用狗狗币付款。今年早些时候，马斯克甚至在参观Giga Berlin期间的讲话中暗示公司将来会接受狗狗币作为其汽车的官方支付方式。
The EV giant's website even has a support page for clearing doubts about paying with Dogecoin for its products.
这家电动汽车巨头的网站甚至有一支持页面，来解答关于使用狗狗币购买其产品的疑问。
"Tesla only accepts Dogecoin. Tesla cannot receive or detect any other digital assets. Ensure you are making your purchase with Dogecoin. Sending any other digital assets may result in the assets being lost or destroyed," the page reads.
“特斯拉只接受狗狗币。特斯拉无法接收或检测任何其他数字资产。确保您使用狗狗币进行购买。发送任何其他数字资产可能导致这些资产丢失或被销毁”，页面上写道。
Why It Matters: Earlier this week, Musk and Tesla secured the dismissal of a federal lawsuit accusing them of defrauding investors through insider trading and market manipulation of Dogecoin.
为什么重要：本周早些时候，马斯克和特斯拉成功获得了一起联邦诉讼的驳回，该诉讼指控他们通过内幕交易和操纵狗狗币市场欺诈投资者。
The decision was delivered on Thursday night by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein. Investors had accused Musk of exploiting Twitter (now X) posts and other publicity stunts to trade profitably at their expense through several Dogecoin wallets controlled by him or Tesla.
美国地区法官阿尔文·赫勒斯坦星期四晚上做出了决定。投资者指责马斯克利用推特（现称X）的帖子和其他宣发手段，通过他或特斯拉控制的几个狗狗币钱包以其自己或特斯拉的代价谋取利益。
Judge Hellerstein, however, stated that no reasonable investor could rely on social media posts to pursue a securities fraud claim. The lawsuit was subsequently dismissed with prejudice, preventing it from being filed again.
然而，赫勒斯坦法官表示，没有一个合理的投资者会依靠社交媒体帖子来提起证券欺诈诉讼。这个诉讼随后被永久性驳回，防止再次提交。
Over the years, Dogecoin's price movement has become increasingly linked to social posts and endorsements by Musk, as well as developments around companies owned by him.
多年来，狗狗币的价格动态与马斯克的社交媒体帖子和支持以及他所拥有的公司的发展越来越相关。
Earlier this month, Musk posted an AI-generated image referencing the cryptocurrency through his X account, which caused it to spike.
本月早些时候，马斯克通过他的X账户发布了一张AI生成的与这种加密货币相关的图片，导致其价格猛增。
