Twitter is a horrible place to think out loud.

All the fanboys don’t understand this. The SEC isn’t just going shrug and laugh it off like missing a production target. The SEC can lay down the law!

Well as CEO you clearly can’t make an announcement that you are thinking about going private without evidence to back up that you actually could. It is a pretty clear cut case of stock price manipulation at that point and is illegal for good reason.

I should know better ;)  It’s really a shame, they are great cars.

Come drive my C7 and tell me it sucks!

I think we can green light that.

I shall reply to this with a star and this song that is both NSFW and appropriate to the text of your comment.

Likely Elon tweet: “Jay Clayton* once ate out at a pizza restaurant. Obviously a pedo.”

Wow, looking forward to the next episode of Shark Tank.

Good. Musk was an idiot for tweeting out he “may” take Tesla private during trading hours.

I think it’s a sad state of affair when we need the police with the marshals.
