Woah. The SEC doesn’t mess around. Could get ugly if true.

It looks like this is a shareholders lawsuit, not an SEC issue.

Yup, looks like it was a legal sale that was properly disclosed, but some

That's not partisan at all. Follow unusualwhales on X. Both parties do this all the time. It's disgusting.

It seems like a sale of that much would involve lawyers, accountants, advisors…

Elon seems like a person who’d be hard to talk down from a bad idea

spinner

Jun 6, 7:57pm

Maybe you are thinking of Trump? Elon is arguably the most successful

chismoso

Jun 6, 8:05pm

You’re right, you’ve convinced me. He’s infallible

spinner

Jun 6, 8:27pm

So dramatic. Another trait you have in common with Trump

chismoso

Jun 6, 8:58pm

If he doesn’t have to surrender the profits then maybe he’s a genius

Bobmarleyjr

Obviously there’s a lot of “ifs” here still tbd

He has no bad ideas, just ingenious ideas feeble neanderthals can't comprehend.

So he is Batman…

I doubt Elon pulled up etrade and sold the stock

He’s on the spectrum

Sounds like hunters excuse: had an illegal gun cause I was on crack so it’s ok

Sounds like any other competitive human being

Exactly, privately said yes to the sale a least a month before it was completed

People in his position as heads of companies have to fill out tons of forms

kalifi

This is 100% correct.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Well, not exactly. It can happen quickly. Not months.

Just going off the little details mention, it sounds like shareholder activism.

Maybe now but it wasn’t that way when Martha Stewart sold hers

Bobmarleyjr

Jun 6, 8:18pm

Weird, I was reliably told that Elon was an idiot tho.

JohnnyComeLately

Jun 6, 8:35pm

Nah he was accused so obviously he’s guilty

cheezedawg

Jun 6, 8:45pm

Elon himself hasn't filled out a form for years, if ever.
