Elon Musk, the world's richest person, has launched a far-reaching effort to help elect former President Donald Trump. Musk, who owns X, frequently posts messages in support of Trump on the social media platform, where he boasts more than 202 million followers. At Trump rallies, Musk has occasionally appeared on stage to make an impassioned plea for votes. He has also donated nearly $75 million in support of Trump over a three-month period ending in September, government filings show.世界首富埃隆·马斯克已发起一项行动，助力前总统唐纳德·特朗普当选。马斯克是X公司的所有者，他经常在拥有超过2.02亿粉丝的社交媒体平台上发布支持特朗普的消息。在特朗普的集会上，马斯克偶尔也会上台发表激情演讲，为特朗普拉票。政府文件显示，马斯克在截至9月的三个月内，为支持特朗普捐赠了近7500万美元。 Even more, Musk recently began a daily $1 million giveaway to registered voters in battleground states. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner subsequently sued Musk for allegedly conducting an illegal lottery. To enter the sweepstake, individuals must sign a petition circulated by Musk's America PAC that pledges support for the First and Second Amendment. The only people eligible to sign are registered voters in seven key swing states, the America PAC website says. Attorneys for Musk denied the DA's claims of illegality and filed documents on Wednesday seeking to move the case to federal court. The daily lotteries are ongoing.不仅如此，马斯克最近还开始向竞选关键州的选民每天捐赠100万美元。费城地方检察官拉里·克拉斯纳随后以涉嫌非法抽奖为由对马斯克提起诉讼。想要参与抽奖，个人必须签署一份由马斯克的美利坚政治行动委员会发起的请愿书，承诺支持第一修正案和第二修正案。美利坚政治行动委员会的网站上说，只有七个关键摇摆州的注册选民才有资格签署。马斯克的律师否认了地方检察官关于非法的指控，并于周三提交文件，请求将此案移交至联邦法院。每日抽奖仍在继续。 Musk, who leads Tesla and SpaceX, appears to align with Trump on a host of issues, including mass deportation and deregulation. But the election also holds significant implications for Musk's companies, many of which do business with the U.S. government and face disputes with federal agencies.马斯克领导着特斯拉和太空探索技术公司，他在包括大规模驱逐出境和放宽监管在内的一系列问题上似乎与特朗普保持一致。但此次选举对马斯克的公司也有着重大影响，他的许多公司都与美国政府有业务往来，并与联邦机构存在纠纷。 "The relationship that Elon Musk has with the federal government is unprecedented," Stephen Diamond, a professor at Santa Clara University Law School who specializes in corporate governance and securities law, told ABC News.“埃隆·马斯克与联邦政府的关系史无前例，”专注于公司治理和证券法的圣克拉拉大学法学院教授斯蒂芬·戴蒙德告诉美国广播公司新闻。 ABC News contacted Musk-owned companies Tesla and Space X in an effort to reach Musk for comment. He did not immediately respond. Musk's America PAC also did not respond to a request for comment.美国广播公司新闻联系了马斯克名下的特斯拉和太空探索技术公司，试图联系马斯克进行置评。他未立即回应。马斯克的美利坚政治行动委员会也没有回应置评请求。 Here's what's at stake for Musk in the 2024 election:以下是2024年选举对马斯克来说至关重要的几个方面：
Government contracts worth billions价值数十亿美元的政府合同 A host of Musk-run firms do business with the U.S. government or receive federal support.许多由马斯克经营的公司与美国政府有业务往来或获得联邦支持。 "You're talking billions of dollars a year," Richard Pierce, a law professor at George Washington University who focuses on government regulation, told ABC News about Musk's business dealings. "The president has tremendous discretionary power over government contracts."“你每年在说数十亿美元，”专注于政府监管的乔治华盛顿大学法学教授理查德·皮尔斯告诉美国广播公司新闻，“总统在政府合同方面拥有巨大的自由裁量权。” SpaceX, an aerospace company, counts the U.S. as a key client. In June, NASA awarded SpaceX $843 million to build a vehicle that would aid in taking the International Space Station out of orbit. As recently as last week, the U.S. Space Force awarded SpaceX with more than $700 million to help with a series of launches over the coming years.太空探索技术公司是一家航空航天公司，美国是其重要客户。6月，美国国家航空航天局授予太空探索技术公司8.43亿美元，用于建造一辆有助于将国际空间站移出轨道的航天器。就在上周，美国太空军授予太空探索技术公司超过7亿美元，帮助其在未来几年内完成一系列发射任务。 Tesla has also received contracts from the Defense Department and the Transportation Department, among other agencies.特斯拉还从国防部、交通运输部等其他机构获得了合同。
In all, SpaceX and Tesla have received at least $15.4 billion in government contracts over the past decade, a New York Times analysis found.《纽约时报》的一项分析发现，过去十年间，太空探索技术公司和特斯拉共获得了至少154亿美元的政府合同。 Tesla has also benefited from billions in federal subsidies. Since 2018, Tesla has received $9 billion in such government support, according to a Reuters analysis of securities filings. The funds have primarily stemmed from a program that rewards manufacturers for exceeding carbon emissions limits.特斯拉还从数十亿美元的联邦补贴中受益。路透社对证券备案文件的分析显示，自2018年以来，特斯拉已获得90亿美元的此类政府支持。这些资金主要来自一项奖励超出碳排放限制制造商的计划。 "Musk is intertwined financially with the federal government," Diamond said.“马斯克与联邦政府在经济上紧密相连，”戴蒙德说。
A need for friendlier regulators需要更友好的监管机构 Musk-led companies are currently locked in an array of disputes with federal agencies and regulators.马斯克领导的公司目前与多个联邦机构和监管机构陷入了一系列纠纷。 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has embarked upon several probes of Tesla over alleged dangers associated with Tesla's self-driving capability. Earlier this month, the NHTSA announced a new investigation regarding the system's ability to navigate conditions of "reduced roadway visibility."美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）已对特斯拉展开多项调查，称其自动驾驶功能存在危险。本月早些时候，该局宣布了一项针对该系统在“道路视线不佳”条件下导航能力的新调查。 According to Tesla's website, "The currently enabled Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous."特斯拉网站称，“目前启用的Autopilot和完全自动驾驶（受监督）功能需要驾驶员主动监控，并不能使车辆实现自动驾驶。”
