“ZERO EVs”

Okay... and? The e class absolutely destroys model s sales, and is a better car in every way outside of 0-60 times which mean very little to actual owners.

The s class starts nearly 20k higher than the model S. Compare model s sakes against the e class and there’s no contest.

Lol. What a wanker. 

So... what would have been the proper approach in your opinion?

Exactly. Why has nobody called out Rudy on this absurd “puffery trap” nonsense?

Sure. But he uses a tanning bed. But you’re right, it may not be housed at the White House.

Yup. I hate trump as much as the next American, but the hatch act doesn’t seem to actually be enforced ever. 

He bought based on a material statement by the ceo which so far has turned out to be false. 

No, it’s really not. Musk broke the law here, the shorts were playing by the rules. 

It doesn’t matter if the idea was pitched to the board. It DOES matter whether or not he actually has the funding secured for the transaction, which is highly doubtful. 

And?

Musk broke the law here and you want those affected to suffer?

Companies can be sued by non shareholders. I’d say a majority of legitimate lawsuits are by non shareholders. 

When you gamble and lose because the game was rigged it is absolutely not your own fault. Assuming musk lied here (which he most likely did), he’s at fault and legally liable for the losses. 

If the ceo makes a knowingly false material statement (which he did), nobody speculated incorrectly. The game was rigged. 

You have no problem with someone breaking the law to screw over people who are abiding by it?

Assuming musk lied in his tweet (which he most certainly did), the lawsuits aren’t “false”, and it was musk manipulating the market. 

It is highly unlikely that he has the funding secured.
