“Considering taking Musk private. Jury secured”.
Lodger, no I do not believe a military officer could replace Elon.
Not so pretty smelling? The rest, I agree.The removal of him as CEO things just smells so bad as it follows the WS last mantra that one cannot avoid thinking that the SEC not acting without outside influence.
Also, for the SEC to allege his actions caused mayhem in the market whilst completely ignoring what has been going on in the press dictated by interests against the success of Tesla’s mission is also pretty smelling.
This action truly appears to me to be demonstrative action that indicates a lack of objective enforcement of securities laws, rather, it appears to be tortured interpretation of vague language in order to suit outside influence, political and otherwise.
I pray our justice system is able to maintain its integrity and adjudicate these accusations properly.
I believe Elon Musk is not guilty of the accusations leveled.
I believe that Elon Musk remaining as CEO is material to the continued success of Tesla.
I continue to support him fully as a shareholder as CEO of Tesla.
Fire Away
Its seems that the SEC did talk to the Saudis and the Saudis confirmed that they talked w/ Elon. It seems this will come down to exactly what was said and exactly what was meant between Elon and Saudis.If this all boils down to "funding secured" or not. Is there any indication that SEC have had any contact with the Saudis? Couldn't all of this just be settled with a simple conversation. Maybe the Saudis have shied away from all contact since they weren't too happy with how public their involvement became.
Contrary to @Fact Checking who's contributions I highly value, I am not so confident that the other deal concocted post facto provides relief. First of all, we have the CFO of the lead investing company being on the record that they did not consider taking Tesla private. The most likely take on that is that this second deal suffered from the same ills as the first : it being assumed a 'done deal' on the Tesla side while barely a 'proposal' on the other side.
And, as has been hashed (sorry) over over and over over the past month+, some would be forced to sell if taken private. For varying reasons, but still. THAT was the absolute hurdle that stopped the privatisation. Did you happen to miss that?lose for shareholders? Shares public are the same shares private. Current price only matters if you selling.
Game on buddy! Wild 8 ball says after the early dip it will bounce up to close at the current daily bottom bollinger band of $270 or $281 which seems to be previous support/resistance. If pass that then $290.
Actually just Forget it, TA doesn't apply today. It’ll surely be up to the Saudis vs. Chanos
Yeah, and here's a quick list of major flaws in the the SEC's lawsuit, which all make the lawsuit internally inconsistent to the level of absurdity ...
On Monday and Tuesday, advisers from Goldman and Silver Lake plowed ahead on a deal that might work.
By Wednesday evening, they had a presentation for Mr. Musk, proposing a roster of deep-pocketed investors, including Volkswagen and Silver Lake itself, that had agreed to contribute as much as $30 billion, people familiar with the matter said. [...] They weren’t the kind of investors Mr. Musk had in mind. He was deeply suspicious of rival car companies, believing they wanted to piggyback on what he called the “Tesla halo.” He also was lamenting a loss of small investors, who had been his most vocal champions. [...] Finally, the deal team advised him, the money would likely come with strings attached: The new investors would want a lot of say in the company, and each would likely want to hammer out terms of their own.
Wasn't it the duty of Elon to inform Tesla shareholders about the efforts that were considering taking Tesla private? Why does the SEC start enforcement action against disclosure of true facts?
The SEC complaint is asking Elon to "disgorge gains": "Ordering Defendant to disgorge, with prejudgment interest, any ill-gotten gains received as a result of the violations alleged herein;". But Elon did not sell or buy any stock in this time period, so the gain is zero.
Considering the +6% price action caused by Elon's tweet as "harm to investors" is laughable:
Secondly, the SEC is on very thin legal ice defining short sellers as "investors": when Tesla stockholders gain, shorts lose, and when Tesla stockholders lose, shorts gain. So per definition it's the fiduciary duty of Tesla's board and Elon Musk in particular to help Tesla shareholders, which causes losses to short sellers. Shouldn't the SEC be enforcing the interests of Tesla shareholders, instead of the interests of Tesla anti-shareholders?
Why did these SEC lawyers rush enforcement action, and why did they hurry to file the lawsuit just two trading days before the critical Tesla Q3 production report, which is expected to be hugely negative to shorts sellers.
I believe the SEC lawyers who wrote this complaint should be disbarred for recklessly rushing a frivolous lawsuit that caused billions of dollars of damages to investors, and each and every SEC employee involved in this debacle of a lawsuit should be investigated for illegal leaks and illegal ties to short sellers.
either games being played by shorts to prevent the uptick rule
or realisation that it is oversold and traders are stepping in.
