特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克在週五表示，他希望公司的商品可以重新接受用模因加密貨幣狗狗幣（DOGE）支付的選項。
What Happened: "Me," Musk wrote in reply to an X user who asked whether anyone would like Tesla to reinstate the option of paying with Dogecoin for its merchandise.
這樣的事情是這樣的：「對於是否有人希望特斯拉恢復使用狗狗幣支付其商品的選項」，馬斯克在回覆一位X用戶時寫道「我」

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.
特斯拉有一個在線商店銷售公司商品。雖然目前只接受美元支付，但之前允許用戶使用狗狗幣支付。在今年早些時候，馬斯克甚至在他訪問蓋加柏林期間的講話中暗示公司將在某個時候接受狗狗幣作爲正式的汽車支付方式。
The EV giant's website even has a support page for clearing doubts about paying with Dogecoin for its products.
這家電動汽車巨頭的網站甚至還有一個支持頁面，以解答關於使用狗狗幣支付其產品的疑問。
"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.
「特斯拉僅接受狗狗幣支付。特斯拉無法接收或檢測到任何其他數字資產。確保您使用狗狗幣進行購買。發送任何其他數字資產可能導致資產丟失或損壞，」該頁面如是說。
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.
爲什麼這很重要：本週早些時候，馬斯克和特斯拉成功駁回了一項聯邦訴訟，稱他們通過內幕交易和市場操縱狗狗幣欺詐投資者。
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.
週四晚間，美國地區法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 發表了這個決定。投資者指控馬斯克利用推特（現在是X）的帖子和其他宣發活動，通過幾個由他或特斯拉控制的狗狗幣錢包進行交易從而獲利，損害了投資者的利益。
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，海勒斯坦法官表示，任何合理的投資者都不能依賴社交媒體的帖子來提起證券欺詐訴訟。該訴訟隨後被懷有偏見地駁回，防止再次提起訴訟。
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.
多年來，狗狗幣的價格走勢越來越與馬斯克的社交媒體帖子和背書，以及他所擁有的公司的發展有關。
Earlier this month, Musk posted an AI-generated image referencing the cryptocurrency through his X account, which caused it to spike.
本月早些時候，馬斯克通過他的X帳戶發佈了一張人工智能生成的與加密貨幣有關的圖片，這導致了加密貨幣價格的飆升。
