The SEC is suing Tesla for Elon Musk's bullshit. Musk's response:
"This unjustified action by the SEC leaves me deeply saddened and disappointed. I have always taken action in the best interests of truth, transparency and investors. Integrity is the most important value in my life and the facts will show I never compromised this in any way,"
Unjustified? Unjustified!? You. Fucking. Liar. It is entirely justified. It wasn't a slip of the tongue. It wasn't a case of confusing tense or idiom. You claimed intent to take Tesla private when no official research had been done into its viability. You claimed, in no uncertain terms, that "funding [is] secured." You. Fucking. Lied. If it was up to me you would face criminal charges for stock manipulation. Acting as a representative of Tesla, you gave out false information to boost Tesla's stock price to - in your own words - "burn the shorts." You are absolutely guilty of stock manipulation and you should be punished severely.
