This has to violate some SEC rule.

Michael Dell actual did buy Dell, and got in major legal trouble for it. It's an amazing story. HN discovered it. https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-06-01/michael-d...

A very bizarre logic did that judge follow.

If cars were American companies:

1. You come to a car auction and sell your car for 10$

2. The buyer of your car sells it for 13$ tomorrow

3. A guy who was selling another car for 12$ sues you for selling your car cheaper than his, and somehow wins

Some verified account pretending to be Elon posted spam in the thread. How is that allowed?

It's been that way for months: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/scammers-are-im... Twitter recently tried to fix it by locking nonverified accounts which change their name to Elon Musk ( https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/24/17610348/twitter-elon-mus... ). Now scammers just hack verified accounts to do it.

This article is talking about unverified impostor accounts. This thread had _verified_ accounts that changed their name which is even more insidious.
