Zakaj so električni avtomobili prava stvar

In en kup odvetnikov že švica in se trudi ugotoviti, kako bi sodnika prepričali, da se je šefe samo malo hecal na tviterju, misleč, da ga itak nihče več resno ne jemlje.

Drugače pa, ena od možnih kazni za take "hece" je menda tudi začasna prepoved opravljanja vodstvenih funkcij v podjetju.

Obtožnica, če koga zanima (pdf)

COMPLAINT
Plaintiff United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), alleges as follows:

SUMMARY
1. This case involves a series of false and misleading statements made by Elon Musk, the Chief Executive Officer of Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”), on August 7, 2018, regarding taking Tesla, a publicly traded company, private. Musk’s statements, disseminated via Twitter, falsely indicated that, should he so choose, it was virtually certain that he could take Tesla private at a purchase price that reflected a substantial premium over Tesla stock’s then-current share price, that funding for this multi-billion dollar transaction had been secured, and that the only contingency was a shareholder vote. In truth and in fact, Musk had not even discussed, much less confirmed, key deal terms, including price, with any potential funding source.
2. At approximately 12:48 p.m. EDT on August 7, 2018, during trading hours, Musk tweeted to his over 22 million Twitter followers, “Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.” This statement was false and misleading. Over the next three hours, Musk made a series of additional materially false and misleading statements via Twitter including:
 “My hope is *all* current investors remain with Tesla even if we’re private.
Would create special purpose fund enabling anyone to stay with Tesla.”
 “Shareholders could either to [sic] sell at 420 or hold shares & go private.”
 “Investor support is confirmed. Only reason why this is not certain is that it’s
contingent on a shareholder vote.”
3. Musk knew or was reckless in not knowing that each of these statements was false and/or misleading because he did not have an adequate basis in fact for his assertions. When he made these statements, Musk knew that he had never discussed a going-private transaction at $420 per share with any potential funding source, had done nothing to investigate whether it would be possible for all current investors to remain with Tesla as a private company via a “special purpose fund,” and had not confirmed support of Tesla’s investors for a potential going-private transaction. He also knew that he had not satisfied numerous additional contingencies, the resolution of which was highly uncertain, when he unequivocally declared, “Only reason why this is not certain is that it’s contingent on a shareholder vote.” Musk’s public statements and omissions created the misleading impression that taking Tesla private was subject only to Musk choosing to do so and a shareholder vote.
4. Investors reacted to Musk’s August 7 tweets. From the time of Musk’s first tweet that day until the close of trading on August 7, Tesla’s stock price increased by more than 6% on significantly increased volume and closed up 10.98% from the previous day.
5. Musk’s false and misleading public statements and omissions caused significant confusion and disruption in the market for Tesla’s stock and resulting harm to investors.
6. By engaging in the conduct alleged in this Complaint, Musk violated, and unless restrained and enjoined will violate again, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) [15 U.S.C. § 78j(b)] and Rule 10b-5 [17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5] thereunder.

NATURE OF PROCEEDING AND RELIEF SOUGHT
7. The Commission brings this action against Musk pursuant to Section 21(d) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78u(d)] to enjoin the transactions, acts, practices, and courses of business alleged in this Complaint and to seek orders of disgorgement, along with prejudgment interest, civil penalties, and an officer and director bar against Musk, and such further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

edit: boldan del, kjer SEC eksplicitno zahteva, da se Musku prepove opravljanje izvršnih funkcij v podjetju

Tole je noro.

"He rounded the price up to $420 because he had recently learned about the number's significance in marijuana culture and thought his girlfriend would find it funny"

More free advertising for Tesla. Ni kaj, tip je genij. Z enim tvitom si je kupil vse medije za par mesecev ;)

Approximately 12 minutes after Musk published his tweet, Tesla's own head of investor relations sent a text to Musk's chief of staff asking "was this text legit"

52. After Tesla's head of Investor Relations received another inquiry from another
investment bank research analyst at approximately 7:20 PM EDT, he asked whether the analyst
had read Tesla's "official blog post on this topic." The analyst responded, "I did. Nothing on
funding though?" The head of Investor Relations replied, "The very first tweet simply
mentioned 'Funding secured' which means there is a firm offer. Elon did not disclose details of
who the buyer is." The analyst then asked, "Firm offer means there is a commitment letter or is
this a verbal agreement?" The head of Investor Relations responded, "I actually don't know, but
I would assume that given we went full-on public with this, the offer is as firm as it gets."

Tole je prav komedija brati

Kolikor poznam samo baterije od BMW, so svetlobno leto pred Teslo. Medtem, ko imajo Tesline življensko dobo 6 do 7 let, imajo BMW-jeve preko 20.

Hahahahaha, kak slovenski podeželski "Golf fahrerski" klišej je pa to.

Če bi spremljal temo, ne bi pisal takih neumnosti...

Še Muskov prvi komentar:

This unjustified action by the S.E.C. leaves me deeply saddened and disappointed. I have always taken action in the best interests of truth, transparency and investors. Integrity is the most important value in my life and the facts will show I never compromised this in any way.

Gledano iz optimistične strani, vsaj ni SEC preiskovalcev označil za pedofile . No, vsaj do naslednjič, ko bo zadet twittal.

Tudi izgovarjanje na šalo ali nevednost mu na tej točki verjetno več nič ne pomaga. Kot CEO javnega podjetja nosi odgovornost, da bi moral vedeti bolje. Iz obtožnice:

3. Musk knew or was reckless in not knowing that each of these statements was false and/or misleading...

Edina pametna karta mu je sedaj verjetno to, da rece, da se je hecal in da itak ni mislil resno. :D

Problem je, da se je cela Tesla potem trudila potrditi to njegovo izjavo in celo "najela svetovalce". Šele čez ~2 tedna so sporočili, da ne bo nič iz tega "resnega namena".

It's fine, I'm sure the cars won't stop working when the update server goes down.

Po pisanju WSJ je SEC že imel dogovorjeno poravnavo z Muskom, ki so jo nameravali javno objaviti včeraj, pa si je v zadnjem hipu Musk premislil in zato je SEC potem vložil tožbo.

Vir:

The SEC had crafted a settlement with Mr. Musk—approved by the agency’s commissioners—that it was preparing to file Thursday morning when Mr. Musk’s lawyers called to tell the SEC lawyers in San Francisco that they were no longer interested in proceeding with the agreement, according to people familiar with the matter. After the phone call, the SEC rushed to pull together the complaint that it subsequently filed, the people said.

In kako bo Tesla poplačala dolgove?

Webmojster je 28. sep 2018 ob 13:36 izjavil:

Kot že neštetokrat prej, ko ste trobili da je konec s Teslo, se tudi tokrat ne bo zgodilo nič.

Tesla bo še naprej poslovala normalno, delnica bo malo padla in se čez nekaj časa spet pobrala. Musk bo verjetno plačal kakšno kazen in čez par tednov bo spet vse pozabljeno.

Jaz sem tudi mnenja, da bo še malce padlo, potem bo pa zrelo za kakšen nakup, ker se bo spet dvignilo. Če bi bilo namreč vse jasno in enostavno za izračunat, potem Tesle že 3 leta nazaj ne bi bilo več. Delniški trgi ne delujejo čisto po logiki (no, sploh ne delujejo po logiki :)

Očitno so se pogodili:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles...

Musk gets to keep his job as CEO but must resign within 45 days as chairman for three years, according to a statement released by Saturday by the regulator.

He'll also have to pay a $20 million fine and have Tesla appoint two new independent directors. Tesla will pay another $20 million.

Ja, se že pogovarjamo o tem. Zelo nizka kazen, če se mene vpraša. Zato so najbrž Elonu odvetniku svetovali, naj jo sprejme. Prvo podobno kazen je zavrnil.

Čakamo, da nam WarpedOne v svojih besedah pove, kaj si misli o trenutni situaciji v Tesli.

Hmm, kaj pravite, da se bo zgodilo z delnico v ponedeljek? Bo šlo gor ali dol? V vsakem primeru bo razlika vsaj 5%.

Gor bo šla po mojem. Ker je zelo blaga kazen in pa ker nothing matters anymore

Ne smemo pa pozabiti, da bo vse tole zelo pomagalo longom in shortom, ki tožijo Teslo zaradi taking private fiaska. Tam gredo lahko odškodnine v miljarde $. Pa še DOJ preiskava in najbrž tožba sledijo.

Kazen je res dokaj mila. But then again, nimam pojma .

Glavno tukaj je, da od zdaj naprej noben Tesla vernik ne more rečt, da Musk ne laže, ali da je Jezus v mesu in krvi. Človek je od danes naprej “prestopnik”.

Wow. Imagine that.

Prestopnik. Kdo bo zdaj sploh še pri njih kupil avto ?

In kje bo zdaj sploh še našel novo žensko ?

Te bežijo od "prestopnikov" ko žabe od vode.

Honestly, lahko da je tisto bil drug induced tvit.

IMO če musk laže, ne laže na tisti klasičen način, da sredi belega dne zavaja ljudi, ampak laže v paniki.
Kar je še vedno narobe, ampak ni "piece of shit" level laganje.

Elon se je po udarniško oglasil:
https://insideevs.com/musk-email-sunday...

We are very close to achieving profitability and proving the naysayers wrong, but, to be certain, we must execute really well tomorrow.

If we go all out tomorrow, we will achieve an epic victory beyond all expectations.

Težko si pomagam, da se nebi valjal od smeha po takih mailih

Cak mal. Tole je dobra novica. Sam se dans delajo na POLNO in so profitabilni.

Zheegec je 30. sep 2018 ob 22:33 izjavil:

Tesla rabi samo še nekaj sto prostovoljcev, pa bo profitabilna! Saj to ste videli ane, ko je Elon povabil trenutne faboye in fangirlse, da naj se prostovoljno javijo, da Tesli pomagajo v delivery centrih

Tudi za tisti tvit se suslja, da ga ze proucujejo organi: "prostovoljno delo" v kaliforniji je mozno samo pri neprofitnih organizacijah, ce sem prav razumel. :D

Realnost potovanja s Teslo...
