If you were on a jury, I expect you would find guilty the person who was arrested for doing something they didn't want to do because someone else was holding a knife to their child's throat and told them to do it, or else.
Should you have actually followed the story you would know that the SEC held a knife to Tesla's metaphorical throat to coerce Elon to sign an agreement he did not actually agree with.
Left with the choice of holding to one's principles and risking a company that employed many people, as well as, breaking the trust of the shareholders who put their support behind him, he chose the lesser of two evils and went against his principles, signing under duress, for the greater goal of achieving the mission.
I thank him for that, and I despise the sort of people who employ such tactics. Those sort of people are second-cousins to those who parrot canned news without offering the back story for context. Like you have done.
