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.

you know how all the evidence, based on everything he's ever said to the press in any capacity, ever, and also his previous history of running businesses, suggests that he is in fact not very smart?

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that he's a guy who makes poor decisions

i think it also demonstrates what a wet fart tesla as a business is, that his money men haven't beaten him into submission and left him gagged in a closet until this blows over.

the stakes are pretty low.

the most valued trait of the modern entrepreneur is an inability to conceptualize the idea of bad consequences or failure

there is literally nothing more to this, and it is not in any way an exaggeration, it is the core of what is considered a "winner mindset"
