Ok. hand wavey Tasered is not torture, else surely cops wouldn't use it? And he poisoned 4 dogs, people get rather angry about their pets. But yea, killing over it is extreme. Still, seems an odd thing to extradite him for. Maybe more to the story which we will never know.
You know, a cop would taser you once for a few seconds. That poor guy got tasered repeatedly, including his genitalia. How is this not torture?
Just like that Epstein guy killed himself

Did you miss the "Tesla buys billions of USD in bitcoin" headlines? Along with the "will accept payment in BTC" pump and "never mind, selling" dump?
did they actually dump their bitcoin? If yes I'd agree that it deserves attention but I don't think that's the case. Probably for that reason Elon actually posted in May or whatever that they have not sold their coins. Unless you can show that he actually mislead users for financial gain I don't think you're going to get authorities involved.
Musk claims that Telsa never sold any of their bitcoins before the price collapsed when he reversed course on BTC, but who the hell really knows at this point?

I have hard time believing this, either that he died or his motive. Tax evasion has one of the most lenient punishments of white collar crimes.
He had enough charges lined up (up to 5 years for every count, IIRC) that he would likely be imprisoned for life. Goes without saying but he was also an incredibly paranoid person.
What a strange life he lived. I'm not going to make a value judgement about whether or not he was a 'good' person, but I do applaud the fact that he dared to deviate from the norm. "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die." -- Hunter S Thompson RIP

You see a lot of Taser marks on people's genitals?
Cops have used clubs for years, that doesn't mean you can't torture someone with a club.
