I wonder who qualifies as a "harmed investor" to be eligible to get part of that $40 million dollars.
Yeah, I’d like to know that too ... asking for a friend.

They need to do one to start Model Y and China Giga factory. The revenue from Model 3 alone won't be enough to deploy the next steps quickly.
This!Aha, using the FDR "stack the court" strategy eh? Actually I hope not. Good independent board members who are knowledgeable about the things that the company may need help with in the future can be a big asset IMO. I know it helped with the startup that I was involved in.
Supposedly he didn't have to admit or deny anything in the settlement so that is not "leaving a fraud" accusation in place ( what does that even mean??? Never heard that in legal terms before). They've already accused him of fraud, no matter what happens next if he wins or loses in court. I'm sure it doesn't endanger other contracts. I am thinking maybe this is all a bargaining trip we're on where the SEC and Musk lawyers are now going back and forth and it puts more pressure on the SEC to settle. This is probably wishful thinking though.
$40MM total.Sorry if this was already addressed, can't keep up with all the posts.
With the SEC settlement secured, will all the ambulance chasing lawyers with lawsuits against Tesla now go away? That is what the $20MM is for, for those that can prove losses? Realizing $20MM is a small gesture of goodwill. Comments please.
Why does everyone want Kimball? I like him personally but this board needs a heavy hitter that will give big institutional investors peace of mind, and that's not Kimball. That's someone like Eric Schmidt. Someone with experience managing high growth, big market cap tech companies. I just don't get the Kimball benefit, other than he's a really cool guy who loves his brother. But from investment standpoint, why?
Kimbal for board president plz.
Not just because he's his brother, but because I've grown to really like the guy the last few interviews he's done.
I'm torn on how I feel about Elon right now. Yes, the media is always attacking him unfairly, but he keeps giving them rope to hang him with. I'm waiting for delivery of my 5th Tesla vehicle since 2013, and I'm sitting on HUGE paper losses since his go private tweet. The sad thing is that without the tweets we would be pushing 400 after delivery news next week. Now I'm praying for 300 after the news. I really hope Elon learned his lesson this time.
Nah. The market is slow in responding to positive news. Wait a day or two more.Lets see $1,000,000 / $1950= 513 shares.
513 shares $43 drop yesterday = You lost yesterday on paper $22,059
I think you will make that back (and more) by October 2nd.
New I hope settlement includes a requirement not to post random stuff on Twitter without legal team/layer approval or some other review about the company/features
I feel ya' but doesn't the settlement call for an Independant Chariman? Kimbal already had to recuse himself from the 'go-private' committee because of his relationship with Elon.
It does.I hope settlement includes a requirement not to post random stuff on Twitter without legal team/layer approval or some other review about the company/features
Defendant undertakes to:
<snip>
(b) comply with all mandatory procedures implemented by Tesla, Inc. (the "Company") regarding (i) the oversight of communications relating to the Company made in any format, including, but not limited to, posts on social media (e.g. Twitter), the Company's website (e.g., the Company's blog), press releases, and investor calls, and (ii) the pre-approval of any such written communications that contain, or could reasonably contain, information material to the Company or its shareholders;
Yeah, I’d like to know that too ... asking for a friend.
I feel ya' but doesn't the settlement call for an Independant Chairman?
For messages that relate to Tesla or contain or could reasonably contain material information to Tesla shareholders.Yes it does, for messages that relate to Tesla investors - Tesla's board has to create a process for that and the SEC approves it. Something like this should have been implemented already, but better late than never!
The question is what the actual rules for Chairman are - does independent mean independent as in not the CEO, or does it mean independent as in independent director? (I believe blood relation disqualifies from independent director, and even if it didn't, Kimbal Musk owns TSLA shares and is therefore disqualified.)I'm pretty sure it's two new independent board members. Kimbal is already on the board.
I’ve been an advocate for a stronger board for some time, not a popular view here. But I also don’t want the government to impose it. How does the SEC have this power over a publicly owned company? Will we need governmental approval of the new directors? Will shareholders be able to vote on it?
Yeah, 'independent' in this context means not employed by the company and not a major shareholder, I believe.
There's a lot of good people out there, and Elon will be part of the selection process.
