CNBC - Elizabeth Warren urges SEC to investigate Tesla over Twitter ties, corporate governance
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., sent a nine-page letter urging the SEC to investigate Tesla and its board of directors.

• 
  
  
  • Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Tesla and its board of directors over possible “conflicts of interest, misappropriation of corporate assets, and other negative impacts to Tesla shareholders” related to CEO Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover.
  • The nine-page letter, first obtained by CNBC, was sent to SEC Chair Gary Gensler on Monday.
  • Sen. Warren wrote that the Tesla board’s “apparent lack of independence” from Musk, combined with “inaction and incomplete disclosures, raise questions about possible violations of securities laws and exchange rules which fall under SEC’s jurisdiction.”

There must be all kinds of crap going on between those 2 boards. This is not a normal business relationship at all.

Tesla down almost 9% with Musk warning of more blows to profitability. Twitter can only survive with Tesla cash lol.

Sent or received, because that could lead to abuse.

More paywalls to drive users away.

The beatings paywalls will continue until morale improves.

Does Threads have any equivalent?

In what way? It's the only Twitter alternative other than Mastodon that is open to everyone until Bluesky gets out of private beta.

I meant does Threads have any paywall/blue checkmark equivalent or is it fully free for users and will rely on advertising for all its income?

Good question. I don't know anyone on the Hype who has it yet.

I was about to sign up but I don’t have a proper Instagram. I had one created without me really choosing to when I was linked to an Instagram pic (probably for something from here) but would rather set one up properly if it needs it.

How long before he starts calling himself Professor X?

Bolivar Trask fits way better than Tony Stark or Professor X.

Melon never learns.

Elon Musk Wants to Relive His Start-Up Days. He’s Repeating the Same Mistakes.

But Musk never gave up on the idea. In 2017, he reacquired the ***** domain name and, according to Soni, he once pitched Reid Hoffman on the idea of reacquiring PayPal to revive his original vision. Since announcing his takeover of Twitter, he’s talked a lot about superapps and expanding into payments. The strategies Musk is pulling from those early years run much deeper, and it’s clear he hasn’t learned the lessons of his previous failures.

Yes he still wants his ‘everything’ app not-a-bank where you give him all your money to hold. Now with a skeleton crew doing it.

Fun times for Tesla shareholders, Musk gets bored too easily.

He’s like a 10 year old kid who thinks putting an X on everything automatically makes it cool

NBC News - Elon Musk rolls out Model Y, completing Tesla's 'S3XY' lineup (2019)

USA Today - Tesla angled for a S-E-X-Y model line-up (2017)
CEO Elon Musk says Model E became the Model 3 after opposition from Ford.

Melon has a procreation fetish which he never stops talking about.
