weird twitter is so passé, if elon wants to impress he needs to start making posts earnestly aimed at improving his community. constructive sincerity is the biggest troll of all these days

so it seems there is no “funding secured”

Elon wants current investors to simply give him immunity from the laws and regulators that protect them. and his case for this seems to boil down to his personal annoyance with running a public company.

there’s at least one lawsuit in the works https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45155268

I know it’s just hilarious to see a literal billionaire complain about it since when you use other people’s money they tend to want a say about what you’re doing with it

willing to bet Musk’s “plan” is to ask hardcore Musk cultists to give him money to buy out the investors who want to sell at $420

doing some rough math, if $30B worth of investors want to sell, Musk would need $100,000 from everyone subscribed to /r/teslamotors

i have no idea how many sane investors would go “hmm i can sell all my shares for $100k and make a profit, or i can invest another $100k so Musk doesn’t have to report quarterly earnings to me anymore. hmm yes i’ll do the latter.”

but whether it fails or not doesn’t really matter since the whole point is to boost the stock before his loans are due. he’ll just have to make a pretty dramatic effort to avoid jail
