Bloomberg opinion piece

quote:

Look, I don’t know what to tell you. Elon Musk publicly announced, on Aug. 7, on Twitter, that he was considering taking Tesla Inc. private at $420 per share, that he had “funding secured,” that “investor support is confirmed,” and that he had a structure that would allow all of Tesla’s public shareholders to keep their shares in a private Tesla if they wanted to. All of those statements seemed very implausible at the time, and as days went by with no confirmation or clarification, it became pretty evident that they were false. Eventually Musk admitted that he had not actually secured any financing, that investors did not support the idea, and that there was no way for retail shareholders to roll over into a private company, so he abandoned the going-private plan three weeks after announcing it. You can’t do that. You can’t announce your plans to buy a public company unless the announcement is more or less true. Even if you’re just floating the idea, and don’t mean it to be taken too seriously, investors will take it seriously. The stock went up on Musk’s announcement, and then went down when it became clear he was kidding. The people who believed Musk, and bought stock thinking it would go to $420, were deceived, and lost money. That is what we in the business tend to call “securities fraud.”

same dude that wrote this gem right after musk tweeted the thing

quote:

Of course the SEC is looking into this. I can’t think of a thing that the SEC would look into more. If Warren Buffett was giving insider tips about accounting fraud at the Fed to Lloyd Blankfein so that he could help Donald Trump and the pope insider trade against the Illuminati, the SEC team investigating that would be scheming to get transferred to the Elon Musk team.

i mean he might be able to, it's not like he has to actually do anything other than be the face of the company he could definitely appoint people to deal with all the secret stuff

the SEC will ban musk from serving as an officer of any company for a long, long time, whether it's a consent decree or just a judgment against him, that's a practically guaranteed outcome

musk will not be a part of anything going forward -- spacex, tesla, etc

loving the 'nuke your own settlement' angle. does he think he's gonna beat those charges? does he think that if he doesn't beat them the consequence will be less than what he had negotiated? does he think he'll be able to settle later for a better deal? did he just not think that far ahead and ignored the lawyers he has to do that for him?

wtf is going on in that addled brain i need to know.
