some more details about the abandoned settlementquote:Under the terms of the agreement, what started on Aug. 7 ... would end with some modest penalties and Mr. Musk staying on as chief executive, according to two people briefed on the talks. wouldn't even have to give up being CEO, so what was so intolerable?? quote:The settlement with the S.E.C. was a “neither admit nor deny” deal, meaning that Mr. Musk would not have acknowledged knowingly committing a violation. Mr. Musk, however, would not have been allowed to publicly state that he had done nothing wrong — and that was something he couldn’t accept, according to three people familiar with the talks. lmao there it is

were I that wealthy there’s a ton of stuff I’d do that nobody funds right now because it won’t have massive payoff example: clearing up the title/ownership of a bunch of historic old computer stuff, just by paying off everyone who might legitimately have a claim and having enough money to not be safe to fight for people who don’t example: funding companies with good product ideas that can make a regular and solid profit without having to become the next goddamn Facebook (base hits, not home runs) example: buying and refinancing a variety of debt at more reasonable levels so at least some people aren’t quite so turbofucked (but predatory lenders start to see some competition) unfortunately actually becoming that wealthy requires a sort of pathology that means I’ll never get there

you know he’ll insist on being there for every minute of it all the while he’ll tweet about what a waste of time it is then he’ll insist his defense call him as a witness also he’ll insist on making statements to the court, multiple times, and will not go off prepared remarks
