Yesterday’s settlement with the SEC was a big win for Tesla and Elon Musk. By all rights he should have been banned for life. Anyone who doesn’t think that the government is now clearly in the bag for Tesla and Musk should read this tweet from none other than Newt Gingrich.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Elon has friends in high places. Now, with the government clearly signaling that no act by Tesla or Musk can be too egregious, Tesla has reached Too Big To Fail.
I sort of see the point. Tesla is an American company leading the charge in a burgeoning industry. However, by publicly condoning these shenanigans we become more like China and Europe and Russia.
To wit - t he rule of law doesn’t matter if you’re one of us.

The new swampy gang of wanna-Nazis and other deplorables made me forget about vintage swamp-filler Newt. Nice. A leader of arguably the worst demographic in American history.
Elon won this 100%, but then again, they didn’t really fight him to begin with.

I mean I have read the book but to treat it as gospel and fuck over millions of people with actual economic policies based on it is idiotic and cruel.
I am looking at you, Paul Ryan.

I’ve read it too, and I see it as impossible fiction no more relevant than a fairytale or romance novel.
The crazy author was bitter because the Bolshies stole her undeserved inheritance, and started a movement about it, conning hundreds of thousands or millions of smug parentally-dependent basement dwellers along the way.
