Tesla Shareholders Demand Higher Security Budget for Elon Musk After Billionaire Reveals Two Assassination Attempts, Compares Them To Attack On Trump
Certain Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) shareholders are urging the company board to increase the security budget for its controversial CEO Elon Musk, board members, employees, and company sites after former President Donald Trump was shot at during a campaign rally on Saturday.
特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）的一些股東正在敦促董事會增加公司對其備受爭議的首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克、董事會成員、員工和公司場所的安保預算，此前美國前總統唐納德·特朗普在週六的一次競選集會上遭到槍擊。
What Happened: Tesla shareholder Alexandra Merz has drafted a letter to Tesla's board of directors seeking an increase in security budget to protect the CEO, board members, Tesla employees, and company sites.
發生的事情：特斯拉股東亞歷山德拉·梅爾茨（Alexandra Merz）起草了一封信件給特斯拉董事會，尋求增加安保預算，以保護CEO、董事會成員、特斯拉員工和公司場所。
According to Merz's poll held on X, more than 3,000 people are in support of an increase in budget and Merz is now adding more signatories to her letter.
據梅爾茨在X網站上展開的一項調查顯示，超過3,000人支持增加預算，梅爾茨現在正在爲其信函添加更多的簽署者。
Tesla's Current Expenses For Musk's Security: According to a proxy statement filed by Tesla in April, the company entered into a service agreement with a Musk-owned security company to provide him with security services in December 2023.
特斯拉目前用於馬斯克安保的開支：根據特斯拉於四月份提交的一份委託書顯示，該公司與馬斯克所有的安保公司簽訂了一份服務協議，爲其提供安保服務，該服務協議將在2023年12月到期。
"Tesla incurred expenses of approximately $2.4 million for such security services in 2023 and approximately $0.5 million through February 2024, representing a portion of the total cost of security services concerning Elon Musk," the filing read, hinting that Tesla is not the only player paying for the billionaire's security.
該申報文件顯示：“特斯拉爲此類安保服務承擔了大約240萬美元的費用，截至2024年2月已支付大約50萬美元，這只是特斯拉在關於埃隆·馬斯克的安保服務方面所承擔的部分費用。”這暗示着特斯拉不是唯一爲這位億萬富翁的安保支付費用的企業。
Musk Responds: Musk on Monday acknowledged the efforts of Tesla shareholders to increase his security budget and said, "Appreciate the thought."
馬斯克於週一承認了特斯拉股東增加其安保預算的努力，並表示：“感謝大家的關注。”
Appreciate the thought

感謝關心
——埃隆·馬斯克（@elonmusk）2024年7月15日
Why It Matters: The move from Tesla shareholders stems from security concerns for its controversial CEO that have increased since Trump was shot at during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
特斯拉股東採取這一舉動，是出於對其備受爭議的首席執行官安全的擔憂，這種擔憂自特朗普週六在賓夕法尼亞競選集會上遭到槍擊以來不斷升級。
Following the shooting incident, Musk said on X that he faced a similar predicament on more than one occasion in the past year. Musk said that two people tried killing him in the past eight months on separate occasions. "They were arrested with guns about 20 mins drive from Tesla HQ in Texas."
在槍擊事件發生後，馬斯克曾在X網站上稱，過去一年中他曾多次遇到類似的問題。馬斯克表示，在過去的八個月中，有兩個人分別試圖殺死他，在德克薩斯州特斯拉公司總部附近用槍被逮捕。
Musk also referred to personal safety concerns during Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in June.
在特斯拉於6月份的股東大會上，馬斯克還提到了個人安全問題。
"I think I probably need to work out. And like, not get assassinated or something, you know. I mean, it is getting a little crazy these days," Musk said while adding that there are many "homicidal maniacs" out there.
馬斯克說：“我想我可能需要運動一下，不要被暗殺了什麼的，你知道的。我的意思是，這些日子裏有很多‘兇手’。”
