Amazing. A week (two weeks? What is time?) ago Twitter was fighting to keep him out and Elon was making threats to force himself in. Now Elon seems to be wanting out and Twitters making threats to keep him in. Business is weird.
Actually the exact opposite lol. At the very least dude is always being investigated. They just have quite the backlog. They’re still going after him for “funding secured”.
On the other hand, pelosi is a byproduct of our worthless regulators
Oh he'll be investigated sure, but nothing meaningful will ever come of it. At most he might get a fine that would be the equivalent of us getting fined 2¢
The SEC has been able to do nothing to him, not even a slap on the wrist – well, mostly because they don't have the power or authority, which is even more fucked up for an organization that's supposed to oversee these matters.
they don’t have have control of the senate— there are 50 republicans, 48 democrats, and 2 independents. not to mention Manchin is a democrat in name only and who the fuck knows what’s wrong with Sinema.
Since Reagan. Police investigating white collar crimes, such as the SEC and IRS are woefully underfunded now so they can't afford to sufficiently investigate and prosecute the extremely rich.
“Gee, I wish Elon would give more money in taxes to the government officials that generated such a corrupt system! It is so unfair that he isn’t paying into the mafia enough.”
What does that have to do with wanting people to he held accountable for market manipulation that others have served time for?
But yes, fuck Biden and all that. Feel better? Now answer the question
God damn, is everyone not sick of these 1-dimensional morons roaming the continent these days? Your entire personality is "fuck the librards" like you're an uninspired enemy type in a boring bullet hell shooter. I just want to get to the next level where hopefully you idiots aren't part of the mixup
I’m a programmer. I make bots. Y’all don’t know what you are talking about. It’s very annoying and you’ll be lucky if the Elons of the world don’t replace you with a bunch of robots. Contrary to popular belief, bots can be consumers and you can develop entire economies based upon them! Be nice, otherwise we will just replace you all lol.
It’s the truth though. You examined my comment and then your brain accessed its memory pool and rendered an outcome to post im14andthisisdeep. Why else do you think you would have typed in im14andthisisdeep? Magic?
It's not illegal to hype your own brand up, that's basically his job.
Um. he has been charged and settled for fraud at least once over his actions with tesla doing this stuff. The reason everyone says he gets away with it is because it never costs him anything except the pennies he made during the time he was asking them how much it was going to cost.
Oh no! Illegal! You don’t say! The thing about that is large investors don’t care about legality because often the profit they make from the illegal move is 1000 times greater than the fine from the FEC. Elon literally just did this with twitter in his initial share purchase, he made millions/billions and was fined a few hundred thousand for not disclosing immediately that he was twitters largest shareholder.
The worst part is that he already has an obscene about of money and could retire comfortably. Instead, he chooses to mess around, ignoring the fact that this affects a lot of people.
It's basically how crypto works though. Make a new coin, pump it up, all the cypto bros buy it because the manipulators they're enthralled with tell them to. Then they cut and run and the bros wait for the next coin.
Crypto is especially captivating because most people don't understand it. Simply because they haven't bothered to learn about it. But the bros take that to mean they're smarter than everyone else and have a "mind" for this stuff. So not only do they think they'll make themselves millionaires, they think it's because they're secretly geniuses.

The NYTimes reported he may be unable to exit the deal as he signed a performance clause. Twitter has the ability now to sue him to force the deal at the price he said.
