Biden administration urges US Supreme Court to reject Musk appeal in SEC dispute
拜登政府敦促美国最高法院驳回马斯克在美国证券交易委员会纠纷中的上诉

WASHINGTON, March 22 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration on Friday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to turn away billionaire businessman Elon Musk's dispute with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
路透华盛顿3月22日 - 美国总统拜登政府周五敦促美国最高法院驳回亿万富翁商人埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)与美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的纠纷。
Musk in December asked the justices to take up his appeal after a lower court upheld his consent decree with the SEC that arose after he posted on Twitter, now called X, in 2018 that he had "funding secured" to take his electric car company Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab
去年12月,马斯克要求大法官受理他的上诉,此前下级法院维持了他与SEC的同意令,该法令是在他于2018年在Twitter(现称为X)上发帖称他已“获得资金”以收购他的电动汽车公司特斯拉(TSLA.O)
private. The SEC accused Musk of defrauding investors.
私人。美国证券交易委员会指控马斯克欺骗投资者。
Musk's agreement was part of a settlement with the SEC under which he and Tesla each paid $20 million fines, Musk gave up his role as Tesla's chairman and he agreed to let a Tesla lawyer approve some posts on Twitter. Musk bought the social media platform in 2022 and renamed it.
马斯克的协议是与美国证券交易委员会达成的和解协议的一部分,根据该协议,他和特斯拉各自支付了2000万美元的罚款,马斯克放弃了特斯拉董事长的角色,他同意让特斯拉律师批准推特上的一些帖子。马斯克于 2022 年收购了该社交媒体平台并重新命名。
Musk has called the consent decree a "muzzle" on his constitutional free speech rights.
马斯克称同意令是对他宪法言论自由权利的“枪口”。
The Justice Department in its filing said that "the settlement term here was reasonably designed to minimize the likelihood that petitioner (Musk) would make future false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws."
美国司法部在其文件中表示,“这里的和解条款经过合理设计,以尽量减少请愿人(马斯克)未来违反证券法做出虚假或误导性陈述的可能性。
A three-judge panel of the Manhattan-based 2nd U.S. Circuit of Appeals rejected Musk's claim that the SEC exploited the decree to conduct harassing investigations into his use of Twitter.
总部位于曼哈顿的美国第二巡回上诉法院的一个由三名法官组成的小组驳回了马斯克的说法,即美国证券交易委员会利用该法令对他使用Twitter进行了骚扰调查。
In its ruling, the 2nd Circuit decided Musk could not revisit the screening of Twitter posts on grounds that he had "changed his mind." The 2nd Circuit in July 2023 denied Musk's request to rehear the case.
在裁决中,第二巡回法院决定马斯克不能以他“改变主意”为由重新审查推特帖子。2023年7月,第二巡回法院驳回了马斯克重审此案的请求。
Musk's lawyers have said the SEC had no right to impose, as a condition of settling, a "gag rule" that they contend violated the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment constraints on governmental limits on free speech. In his December court filing, Musk's lawyers told the justices that authorizing the SEC to require that Musk gain pre-approval for certain social media posts had handed the agency "intolerable power."
马斯克的律师表示,作为和解的条件,美国证券交易委员会无权强加一项“禁言规则”,他们认为该规则违反了美国宪法第一修正案对政府限制言论自由的限制。在去年12月的法庭文件中,马斯克的律师告诉法官,授权美国证券交易委员会要求马斯克获得某些社交媒体帖子的预先批准,这赋予了该机构“无法容忍的权力”。

In a separate legal action related to Musk, the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to reconsider its March decision that Musk violated federal labor law by posting on Twitter in May 2018 that Tesla employees would lose stock options if they joined a union. The 5th Circuit heard arguments in the case in January.
在与马斯克有关的另一起法律诉讼中,总部位于新奥尔良的美国第五巡回上诉法院已同意重新考虑其3月份的决定,即马斯克于2018年5月在Twitter上发帖称,特斯拉员工如果加入工会将失去股票期权,违反了联邦劳动法。第五巡回法院于1月听取了该案的辩论。
