Elon Musk Has 'Fond Memories' From Red Lobster, Expresses Sorrow At Seafood Chain's Bankruptcy News
Serial entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed his sorrow over the bankruptcy filing of the popular seafood chain, Red Lobster.
连续创业者兼特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克对受欢迎的海鲜连锁店红龙虾的破产申请表示悲伤。
What Happened: Red Lobster has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This news follows the company's announcement last week about its plans to shutter over 50 branches nationwide, reported Business Insider.
发生了什么：红龙虾已申请第11章破产。据《商业内幕》报道，该消息是在该公司上周宣布计划关闭全国50多家分支机构之后发布的。
Musk, known for his fondness for the restaurant, expressed his regret over the news. "Too bad (sigh). I have some fond memories from a long time ago of eating at Red Lobster," he shared in a recent post on X, formerly Twitter.
以对这家餐厅的喜爱而闻名的马斯克对这一消息表示遗憾。“太糟糕了（叹气）。我很久以前在红龙虾吃饭时有一些美好的回忆。” 他在最近在X（前身为Twitter）上的一篇文章中分享道。

Red Lobster, famous for its "Ultimate Endless Shrimp" promotion, has been struggling financially. The decision to make this promotion a permanent fixture on their menu led to significant operational losses.
以 “Ultimate Endless Shrimp” 促销活动而闻名的红龙虾一直处于财务困境。将此次促销活动永久列入其菜单的决定导致了巨大的运营损失。
Despite hiking the price of the promotion, the company's financial troubles continued. The bankruptcy filing comes amidst a challenging period for the food and beverage sector, which is grappling with escalating costs and a rapidly evolving consumer landscape.
尽管提高了促销价格，但该公司的财务困境仍在继续。此次破产申请正值食品和饮料行业的艰难时期，该行业正在努力应对不断上涨的成本和快速变化的消费者格局。
Why It Matters: Red Lobster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to reduce its number of locations and seek a buyer, citing significant debt and long-term leases. Red Lobster closed 93 locations and plans to reject 108 leases, aiming to restructure under new CEO Jonathan Tibus amid a challenging macroeconomic environment, according to a prior report.
为何重要：Red Lobster以巨额债务和长期租赁为由申请了第11章的破产保护，以减少其分店数量并寻找买家。根据先前的一份报告，Red Lobster关闭了93个地点，并计划拒绝108个租约，目的是在宏观经济环境艰难的情况下在新任首席执行官乔纳森·蒂布斯的领导下进行重组。
Musk's lament over Red Lobster's bankruptcy is not surprising given his known preference for indulgent food. As reported by Benzinga in 2023, Musk confessed to eating a donut every morning, despite being raised by a dietician. "I'd rather eat tasty food and live a shorter life," Musk had stated.
马斯克对红龙虾破产的哀叹并不奇怪，因为众所周知，他偏爱丰盛的食物。正如本辛加在2023年报道的那样，尽管是由营养师抚养的，但马斯克承认每天早上都吃甜甜圈。马斯克曾表示：“我宁愿吃美味的食物，活得更短。”
This is not Musk's first encounter with the food industry. In 2024, a restaurant owner lost a lengthy legal dispute with Musk's Tesla over the trademark "Tesla Chicken & Pizza."
这不是马斯克第一次接触食品行业。2024年，一家餐馆老板在与马斯克的特斯拉就 “特斯拉鸡肉和披萨” 商标进行的漫长法律纠纷中败诉。
