Neither celebrity status nor reputation as a technological innovator provide an exemption from the federal securities laws.
无论是名人身份还是声誉在外的技术创新者，都不能违背联邦证券法。

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is being sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
美国证券交易委员会目前正在起诉特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克

The SEC’s complaint, which was filed earlier today in Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York, seeks a finding that Musk committed securities fraud, an injunction prohibiting him from doing so in the future, civil penalties, disgorgement of any ill-gotten gains, and a bar prohibiting Musk from serving as an officer or director of a public company in the future.
今天早些时候，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）在纽约南区联邦地区法院提出诉讼,指控马斯克涉嫌证券欺诈并寻求禁令阻止他日后再犯，处以民事处罚，追缴非法所得以及禁止马斯克担任军官或未来上市公司高管职务。

And it’s all because of this August 7th tweet.
这一切都是源于8月7日的推特。

Elon Musk’s tweet: Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.
After Musk’s tweet, Tesla stock shot up nearly 9%. It has declined substantially since then.
埃隆·马斯克的推特:我正在考虑让特斯拉以420美元的股价私有化。交易资金已经得到保障。
在马斯克发布推特之后，特斯拉的股价飙升了近9%。自那以后，该指数大幅下跌。

According to the SEC, Musk didn’t consult any board members, employees, or outside advisers before sending the tweet.
根据美国证券交易委员会的说法，马斯克在发推特之前没有咨询任何董事会成员、员工或者外部顾问。

We alleged that Musk’s statements were false and misleading because they lacked any basis in fact.
我们(证交会)认为马斯克的声明是虚假的和具有误导性的，因为它们缺乏事实依据。

Less than three weeks after the tweet, Musk abandoned his plan to take Tesla private. The SEC says Musk had not actually secured funding.
在这条推文发布不到三周后，马斯克放弃了将特斯拉私有化的计划。证交会表示，马斯克实际上并没有获得融资。

Musk says that comment was based on talks with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. He said the fund had urged him to take the company private and offered to increase its investment.
马斯克表示，这个决定是基于与沙特阿拉伯主权财富基金的会谈。他表示，该基金曾敦促他将该公司私有化，并提出增加投资。

This unjustified action by the SEC leaves me deeply saddened and disappointed. I have always taken action in the best interests of truth, transparency and investors. Integrity is the most important value in my life and the facts will show I never compromised this in any way.
（马克斯的话）美国证交会的这一不正当行为令我深感悲哀和失望。我总是为了真理、透明度和投资者的最大利益而采取行动。诚信是我生命中最重要的价值，事实将证明我从未以任何方式妥协。

Tesla’s stock tumbled on the news of the charges.
特斯拉的股价在有关指控的消息传出后暴跌。
