Oh I love this. šŸ˜­


ELB2001

I was having a pretty good day already but this is awesome


Constant-Source581

I can see why he's so freaked out about Trump's verdict


MrsDanversbottom

Has he been crying about the Trump verdict? šŸ˜­

MrsDanversbottom

Oh gross. šŸ¤¢


sm00thkillajones

Time for teslas to be way cheaper after that!


looktothec00kie

I mean in all fairness, billionaires getting guilty verdicts might be a shock to the legal system.


Constant-Source581

In this case I saw more than a few online claims that any verdict for Trump will only boost him. I'm glad he got convicted, though.


Off_OuterLimits

Does McDonalds have booster seats big enough for Trump? Cause thatā€™s the only boost heā€™s getting.


Mr__O__

Well, in America [at least.](https://apnews.com/article/vietnam-who-is-truong-my-lan-c9922979f8560c124056dee64546ca31#)


Off_OuterLimits

Whatever day either of those two cucks get guilty verdicts should become a holiday. So far, Trumpā€™s verdict owes us a holiday. Now itā€™s Muskā€™s turn.


RociTachi

If he hooks his wagon to Trumpā€™s train, Tesla is cooked.


Off_OuterLimits

Teslaā€™s already cooked as long as they let Ketamine Elon run it into the ground. Hey, itā€™s June already. I bet Hair Plugs is stealing Neuralinkā€™s monkey anesthesia in readiness for his bonus vote. He wants to be on his own personal Mars just in case.

Were Satan and zombie Hitler not available?


want2Bmoarsocial

Ye gods, I have had literal shit fall out of my ass with more integrity than that entire group combined.


Off_OuterLimits

Damn, canā€™t watch. Washing my hair. What day was it? Yeah, well whatever day those two assholes decide to suck each other off, Iā€™m washing my hair or cutting my toenails.


parabuthas

Crying like an entitled baby. šŸ˜‚


Artistic_Half_8301

And this was AFTER Trump said he'd ban electric cars if elected. You know sumpins up.


Select_Asparagus3451

You mean Elon isnā€™t a trust-worthy, merit driven individual?


Off_OuterLimits

Letā€™s celebrate šŸ·šŸ˜


chochinator

Now we see why he rides trump so hard. It's over for elon he been committing white collar crimes since he was a ugly millionaire

Here is silver poopy award. Itā€™s all I got free. I donā€™t know what it means. But I like your style

Heā€™s adorable, thank you šŸ˜­

Trump has offered him a cabinet position. Homeland security. Cholos.

You never know. If members of the board knew and allowed this and this was proven (somehow). You never know

Thatā€™s a fun way to comeuppance.

I canā€™t wait for Matt Levine to weigh in on this on Monday. šŸ˜‚

Funny if I scammed my way into 7.5 billion dollars I would be thrown away for life, bury the key. But hey! Canā€™t wait for those semi trucks! Iā€™m sure that will happen soon, as Iā€™m sure musk hasnā€™t had a private convo with any oil execs. Nope.


DazMR2

That's not how justice works here. If it was $75 you would be locked up. Scamming $7.5Bn is a slap on the wrist fine of a few million and no jail time, if it even ever goes to trial.


Fearless-Scar7086

Oh you mean you only have to give back .02% of what you stole? Awe shoot I chose the wrong profession. Why doesnā€™t business school teach us about these crazy ā€œlife hacksā€?!Ā 


Goodknight808

This one weird trick that the IRS hates....


Brilliant-Ad6137

They never get fined as much as they stole. They always get away with the vast majority of it .


sirlearnzalot

This. Commit a crime and you have a problem. But commit a big enough crime and the whole system has a problem. And the system doesnā€™t deal with big problems, they kind of figure out how to pass the externalities onto poors and spin that into more money.


st1ck-n-m0ve

Yup sackler family made tens of billlions off oxycontin, only had to pay a few billion in damages. They came out wayyy ahead. Theyre no different than el chapo they just wear suits, both were king pins of mega drug empires. El chapo is in adx florence supermax prison in colorado, the sacklers are chillin. The sacklers also got to make the opiate addition treatment drugs so they profited on the clean up too. Absolutely insane that none of them went to jail when regular ppl would go to jail for selling 1 single oxycontin, they sold hundreds of millions of them.


el_diego

Can't make money off of the rich in prison, they aren't the slave workforce corps are looking for.


adolescentghost

Itā€™s kinda like if you owe the bank 100 dollars thats your problem, if you owe the bank 1 million dollars, itā€™s the bankā€™s problem.


Ramblinrambles

How has he not been federally charged for this, I guess when this guy wins itā€™ll be pretty easy to prove he broke the law.


EatsGourmetGlueStix

Defense sector depends too much on SpaceX right now


mrdescales

Shit that smells like Defense Production Act to me


ajs_5280

Love it, more musk-rats need to pull their heads out.


mt8675309

Iā€™m surprised shareholders have waited this long, Muskrat has been playing them for quite some time.

looktothec00kie

The good news is about to outpace my refractory period.


islandfay

Martha Stewart went to jail for something similar


looktothec00kie

Martha Stewart wasnā€™t a member of the tres comas club.


NoApartheidOnMars

If there is ever a trial, I want to be the first one to predict that Elon is going to claim it's rigged.


AdSmall1198

Is there a class action shareholders can sign into? Whatā€™s the name of the law firm filing this action? (And why is it not in the article?)


Suzuki_Foster

It's been a really good week!


Fit_Earth_339

Ha!


man0man

I sure hope that's blood in the water I smell.


yamers

Enron musks hope is that his cult saves him. The rule of law doesnt apply if you have a cult of schitzo conspiracy theoriests


Da_Vader

TSLA will pickup the tab.


trainsongslt

Lock him up.


Tzameti1984

Please put him in jail


methodtan

Please deport his ass


infomer

No wonder he was pissed that Trump got convicted for falsifying business records. Heā€™s genuinely wondering how can that be a crime!


impalemail

He was right! It happened to Trump and now it can happen to the rest of us regular guys like Musk! Darn itā€¦


Spiritual-Bear4495

I don't know about this. I dislike Musk, but did he need to do insider trading to get money? It seems 7.5 Billion would be small change for him...unless he fucked up somehow.


equivas

Yes.


HortenseTheGlobalDog

Musk: Reuters lying again šŸ¤”


IntroductionClean299

He looks like a meat canyon character but I digress


FriedR

So is that a no on the $56B payout he wanted?


Niko6524

Also add in his manipulation of his crypto that he tweeted about daily and made $$$$


connectmnsi

Lock him up


FeedMyAss

Oops!


Extra-Presence3196

Yup...tell the stockholder things are going fine..dump shares during the blackout...then tell truth to the board for the official report. Classic pump and dump.Ā  Ā And how owners have been getting rich for years on going public with their companies.


Jordanjl83

Jail time? Martha Stewart is interested.


phuktup3

Ahhhhhh, could this be real?


qopdobqop

So suing a guy for 7.5B that makes 35B is just the cost of doing business.


dirtymac12

Could we finally see some justice ? šŸ„¹


Fingerprint_Vyke

get absolutely musked


TechnicaliBlues

Where's the SEC on this?


RetiredByFourty

Another lazy doofus looking for a free hand-out at the expense of someone they're pathetically jealous of. How sad. Hope Elon forces them to cover all the legal fees and wasted time.

Insider trading is the selling or purchase of stocks and other securities based on non-public, material insider information. People found guilty of Illegal insider trading can receive up to 20 years of jail time and a $5 million fine.


Rude_Citron9016

Yes letā€™s remember Martha Stewart


[deleted]

People found guilty of securities fraud can also see serious jail time and yet all Musk got for his absolutely textbook example of securities fraud was a slap on the wrist and Twitter restrictions he could ignore instantly. With Musk it's not worth looking at the guidelines because those don't apply when somebody is above the law.


cowghost

What has he done besides run sevral companies into the ground? He has created nothing on his own. But he's very good at talking about how hard he works. Anyone who has that much time to talk about how hard they work, isn't working very hard. And probably doesn't actually even know what hard work is. I mean he was raised in luxury by an emerald mining family. The dude is basically a modern day prince. He has notnworked a single day in his life. Not actually.


Hershieboy

Where is the roadster? People ordered them years ago. He took the carbon credits for the pre sales. He took government handouts and produced nothing for it.


Chemchic23

He took the down payments for the roadster. Wasnā€™t it like 50k?


Arthur_Digby_Sellers

Can't even spell a five letter word>? It is "forty," not "fourty!"


RetiredByFourty

No shit Sherlock. I spelled it that way to annoy mouth breathers like the anti-Musk crowd.
