Elon Musk's SpaceX Reportedly Leaves Trail Of Unpaid Bills Worth At Least $2.5M Amid Texas Expansion
Over two dozen companies have reportedly filed over 70 liens against sites developed by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's SpaceX and its contractors since 2019 due to unpaid bills.
據報道，自2019年以來，由於未付賬單，已有二十多家公司對億萬富翁企業家埃隆·馬斯克的SpaceX及其承包商開發的網站申請了70多項留置權。
What Happened: According to Reuters, several construction companies filed liens against SpaceX properties after they failed to receive payment for their services.
發生了什麼：據路透社報道，幾家建築公司因未能收到服務付款而對SpaceX房產申請了留置權。
Since 2019, more than two dozen companies have reportedly lodged 72 liens against sites developed by SpaceX and its contractors, seeking payments totaling over $2.5 million.
據報道，自2019年以來，已有二十多家公司對SpaceX及其承包商開發的網站申請了72筆留置權，要求支付總額超過250萬美元的款項。
It remains unclear whether these outstanding amounts are owed by SpaceX itself or any of its commissioned contractors.
目前尚不清楚這些未繳款項是SpaceX本身還是其任何委託承包商所欠的。
Among these businesses, some have expressed reluctance to engage in future SpaceX-related projects. Hydroz Energy Services LLC, an excavating business, is owed just $19,214 by SpaceX, a modest sum compared to the rocket manufacturer's valuation of $180 billion as of a tender offer in December.
在這些企業中，一些企業表示不願參與未來與SpaceX相關的項目。SpaceX僅欠挖掘企業Hydroz Energy Services LLC19,214美元，相比之下，截至12月該火箭製造商的估值爲1800億美元，這筆款項微不足道。
Of the 72 liens, at least 41 were filed this year, and some have been resolved. Martin Marietta Materials Inc., a construction supply giant based in North Carolina, received $557,611 it claimed in March 2023, two months after filing its lien.
在這72項留置權中，至少有41項是今年申請的，有些已經解決。總部位於北卡羅來納州的建築供應巨頭馬丁·瑪麗埃塔材料公司在申請留置權兩個月後，於2023年3月收到了其索賠的557,611美元。
However, many liens remain unresolved, including one filed by Texas-based materials supplier CMC Construction Services for an outstanding bill of $129,592.
但是，許多留置權仍未解決，包括總部位於德克薩斯州的材料供應商CMC Construction Services爲129,592美元的未付賬單申請的留置權。
Why It Matters: Musk, currently the third richest person globally according to Forbes' real-time billionaires list, faces increasing scrutiny due to these financial issues.
爲何重要：根據福布斯實時億萬富翁名單，馬斯克目前是全球第三大富豪，由於這些財務問題，他面臨着越來越多的審查。
After he acquired Twitter, now X, in 2022, Musk encountered a barrage of lawsuits from contractors alleging unpaid bills. Additionally, as the CEO of publicly-listed EV giant Tesla Inc., with a market cap of $548.19 billion as of the latest close, Musk's financial responsibilities extend beyond SpaceX.
在2022年收購Twitter（現爲X）後，馬斯克遇到了承包商的一系列訴訟，指控他們未付賬單。此外，作爲上市的電動汽車巨頭特斯拉公司的首席執行官，截至最新收盤時的市值爲5481.9億美元，馬斯克的財務責任不僅限於SpaceX。
