In 2018 Elon Musk tweeted that he had funding secured to take Tesla private at 420 dollars a share. It was not true, and the government proved it.
The funding was not secured. There was no deal. He posted a number that doubled as a weed joke, the stock exploded, and people made and lost real money on a sentence that was false. The SEC charged him with fraud.
He settled. Twenty million from him, twenty million from Tesla, and he was forced to give up his role as chairman of the board. A court had to put a supervisor between Elon Musk and his own keyboard.
This is the founder finance guys hold up as the model of conviction. The story they tell is bold visionary moves markets. The actual record is securities fraud that cost forty million dollars and a board seat.
When you do it, it is a crime. When he does it, it gets rebranded as disruption. The tweet was the same either way.
You have to wonder if the whole strategy for Mike Johnston is to destroy the city so Wall Street can buy it up cheap. Its the only thing that makes any sense. #denver#copolitics
@moseskagan I couldn't stomach carbs while on Ozempic and had to switch to a strict Keto diet. The weight started burning off so fast, I never got to the full dosage.
Retail investors are actually celebrating that SpaceX is reserving 30% of its IPO for them.
Let me explain how the real world works: Wall Street doesn't hand you 30% of a generational asset out of charity.
When institutional money refuses to swallow an inflated private market valuation, they need a massive liquidity sponge to absorb the float.
You aren't getting in early. You are volunteering to be venture capital's exit liquidity.
Save this tweet for 6 months from now.

Remember when Katie Porter was asked what would she do to get support from the 40% of Californians that voted for Trump?
“HOW WOULD I NEED THEM TO WIN”.
Katie Porter received less than 5%
The Knicks have made the NBA Finals. Congratulations, the last step in feeding the Market Bear is complete. Don’t believe me? The last two times they made the Finals were ‘73 and ‘99. How did the markets fair after that?
Rob Gronkowski says he lived off $50,000 as an NFL rookie because he understood the NFL meant "Not For Long"
"My agent gave me a $50,000 advance for what's going to come in the marketing world for myself. I just had to pay him back within the first $50,000 I made"
"I was able to purchase my first car, which was a 2008 Escalade, and then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. And then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money"
"I was getting free meals at the facility. I just kind of needed gas money. You go out, the drinks are free or you pay for one, you get 10 free when you're when you're on the Patriots up in the Boston area"
"So I wasn't really spending much money at all, especially when it got to the season. I mean, you're inside that building and everything's handed to you on a daily basis from breakfast all the way to dinner"
"I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was living a low-level life. I had a condo with a roommate that was on the team as well. We're paying $1,500 a month in rent while in the NFL"
"I was very frugal and that's how I got away with it. Not having any lavish purchases, the first couple years in the league and just banking away what I was making because I truly understood that the NFL stands for not for long"
@PatientTradeX@lukecannon727 The “bump” second from the right corresponds to this fraud admission. How many times will he be allowed to admit to fraud before he is sent to prison? https://t.co/NMpzlY8PcU
