Pretty sure this is illegal, you know, using one company to prop up another (the old “Enron” method)
Wish the US still I don’t know, had laws and whatnot
NVidia-OpenAI-Nvidia-OpenAI
Laws are so 2010. Get with the time, it's all corruption and gambling now.
2010? By that point, the global financial crisis had already proven that there are no consequences for financial manipulation if you're rich enough.
Oh we still have laws. Elon is just part of the "in" group who the laws protect but do not bind.
Just like Madoff and SBF, he'll only face consequences if he fucks over the wealthy
"Illegal" is only for the poors and can apply to something as simple as crossing the street
If the US tries to enforce laws against Elon, he'll go on Twitter and starting calling for the break up of the United States like he did for the EU when they decided to enforce their laws
So the fuck what? Who cares what he says on his platform for bots, Russians, and fellow morons?
Besides the heavily armed Yall Qaeda crowd? All of their potential victims....
They can’t buy enough of these to weigh the collapsing market for them. They’ll be less than $50k.
They will a hundred percent buy them at full price, in a big money transfer from space x to Tesla so muck can get his trillion dollar payday that was voted in
Let's remember that SpaceX gets tons of government funding. No doubt they will try to pass it off as legitimate spending.
Yup,
Its shakey, but might be in the clear because SpaceX is still private and can do whatever it likes. If they went public too, then there would be a problem I think
I think they’re going to IPO soon, so gotta get this shady shit done first.
Using government funds to buy stupid trucks
Private, but don’t they serve a number of government contracts?
This is basically the government bailing out Tesla directly for a shitty truck.
It might or it might not. Money laundering is difficult to do legally. Possible but difficult.
