Musk’s Money Mystery Intrigues SEC

Is Musk constantly inside-joking himself? Why $420 a share? Why do his car models spell S3X? Is his internal email bong69@boring.com? I love this guy.

Yea my first thought was that Musk was just trying to squeeze the shorts, but that would be highly illegal. Musk can't be that stupid. The CEO of a publicly traded company can't act like Trump and tweet in bad-faith to try to bully reality into conforming to his wishes.

I’d file that under childish and awkward instead of funny.

Wall st is not really buying it either. Time will tell, of course, but the shorts may end up winning big in the end.

Do you think calling heroes "pedos" is funny too?

I suppose the CEO of a publicly trading company CAN act like the President of the United States?

Seems like a good strategy actually. The strategy got Donald Trump the Presidency.
