    I'm intrigued as to how Robyn Denholm will be able to effect any greater control or restraint over Elon Musk in the role of Chair of the Board, than she did in her last four years as a member of the Board, and Chair of the Audit Committee.

    It has the feel of compliance with the letter of the agreement, while ignoring the spirit. Which is probably unsurprising, given tweets like the "Shortseller Enrichment Commission".

    I wonder what difference having Robyn Denholm as Chair of the Board will actually make, going forward.

    com·pli·ance
    /kəmˈplīəns/
    noun
    1. 1.
      the action or fact of complying with a wish or command.
      "they must secure each other's cooperation or compliance"


    2. 2.
      PHYSICS
      the property of a material of undergoing elastic deformation or (of a gas) change in volume when subjected to an applied force. It is equal to the reciprocal of stiffness.

    Compliance has no spirit. It is a wish or command, they did what they were told to do by the government.

    I'm just pissed that they didn't accept my application!

    None, I hope. She can't nor shouldn't fire him. It was disgraceful for the SEC to bring charges against him in the first place. He should have been able to bankrupt the shorts. I agree completely with the tag: "Shortsellers Enrichment Commission". Short selling, borrowing shares and buying on margin have absolutely corrupted the stock market. It's not for investors now, it's for gambling addicts too lazy to go to Atlantic City or Vegas.

    Compliance may not have a spirit. The agreement certainly did.

    My guess is that she will mostly be Elon Musk's marionette.

    This whole thing is sick. These boards and the media constantly manipulate the stock and the SEC takes no action. One person with deep pockets and they jump like a lapdog.
    Maybe they should invest in some AI software and troll the boards for the real criminals.
