CNN中英双语新闻––马斯克接手推特后出售了大量的特斯拉股票

Elon Musk sold nearly $4 billion worth of Tesla stock since Twitter deal closed

Elon Musk sold $3.95 billion worth of Tesla stock since completing his purchase of Twitter late last month.

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）自上个月底完成对推特的收购后，出售了价值39.5亿美元的特斯拉股票。

Musk’s Tesla stock sales, totaling 19.5 million shares, have been widely anticipated ever since the Tesla CEO reached a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Musk had sold blocks of Tesla shares worth a total of $15.4 billion earlier this year since his deal to buy Twitter was announced.

自从这位特斯拉首席执行官达成440亿美元收购推特的交易以来，马斯克的特斯拉股票销售总额为1950万股，一直备受期待。自马斯克收购推特的交易宣布以来，他在今年早些时候出售了价值154亿美元的特斯拉股票。

Twitter confirmed Musk bought the social media company October 27, but he waited until November 4 to start selling additional Tesla shares. He also sold blocks of Tesla stock on Monday and Tuesday this week, according to filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission late Tuesday night.

推特证实马斯克于10月27日收购了这家社交媒体公司，但他一直等到11月4日才开始出售特斯拉的额外股份。根据周二晚间提交给美国证券交易委员会的文件，他还于本周一和周二出售了大量特斯拉股票。

It’s not clear if the money Musk raised went toward the Twitter purchase, or to support losses at Twitter since he took over.

目前尚不清楚马斯克筹集的资金是用于收购推特，还是用于支撑他接手推特以来的亏损。

Musk disclosed last week that Twitter has seen a “massive drop in revenue,” as a growing number of advertisers pause spending on the platform in the wake of his takeover of the company. He blamed “activist groups” pressuring advertisers for the loss of ad dollars.

马斯克上周透露，随着越来越多的广告商在其收购推特后暂停在该平台上的支出，推特的“收入大幅下降”。他将广告费用的损失归咎于向广告商施压的“维权团体”。

Twitter lost $270 million in the quarter ending June 30, well before Musk took over and advertisers began to flee. It had only $2.7 billion of cash on hand on its balance sheet as of June 30. He has announced plans to charge users $8 a month to have verified accounts, and also announced deep staff cuts.

推特在截至6月30日的季度亏损2.7亿美元，早在马斯克接手之前，广告商就开始离开。截至6月30日，该公司的资产负债表上只有27亿美元的现金。他宣布计划每月向用户收取8美元的费用，以验证账户，并宣布大幅裁员。

Musk’s two weeks of ownership of Twitter have been a “debacle of epic proportions,” said Dan Ives, tech analyst with Wedbush Securities. Although it’s possible that the money from Musk’s sale of Tesla sales the last two week may have gone toward paying off some short-term financing used to close the Twitter deal.

Wedbush Securities的技术分析师丹·艾维斯（Dan Ives）表示，马斯克持有推特的两周时间是“史诗级的崩溃”。尽管马斯克在过去两周出售特斯拉的资金有可能用于偿还一些用于完成推特交易的短期融资。

This is not the best time to be selling Tesla shares, which have lost 46% of their value so far this year on disappointing sales caused by supply chain problems. Musk received an average price of $202.52 for the Tesla shares he sold since the Twitter deal closed, which is down 10% just since he closed on his deal to buy Twitter.

这不是出售特斯拉股票的最佳时机，由于供应链问题导致的销售令人失望，特斯拉股票今年已损失了46%的价值。马斯克在推特交易结束后出售的特斯拉股票的平均价格为202.52美元，自他完成收购推特的交易后，该价格下跌了10%。
