Elon Musk literally lied under oath repeatedly two days ago, which must be why he is bent out of shape about "false witness" today. $TSLA

Exhibit B: The Musk defense team in the SolarCity trial has pinned their hopes on the $TSLA Powerwall product as the justification for the merger. Since Tesla had Powerwall and SolarCity had panels, it made business sense to combine them. Hard for a judge to argue with that.
Musk told the court that Tesla *had* to buy SolarCity in order to make a better integrated system—except that Evercore's analysis of the merger found that SunRun, not SolarCity, already had a product, BrightBox, that was built *specifically for Powerwall*.

This is documented in color (!) in the court documents. Amazingly, EverCore then proceeded to give SolarCity a better circle rating in a summary chart on the "Storage Technology" category than SunRun. They even gave SolarCity a footnote for the *idea* of the product SunRun *had*. 
This is all to say that the Powerwall defense is a complete lie, told under oath. Not only was Powerwall a *generic* battery product compatible with multiple systems, but SolarCity was clearly *not* the obvious candidate to acquire in order to achieve better system integration.
Exhibit C: Musk told the court, per CNBC, "I don't think SolarCity was financially troubled." Meanwhile, the documents prove he was lying. Musk, Chairman of the SolarCity Board of Directors, knew it wasn't a going concern, and as its CEO, approved $TSLA intervening.
Exhibit D: Musk told the court he was thinking about the internet years before NSF approved its commercial use in the United States. Musk doesn't know anything about genetics based on his lies about Neuralink, which are at direct odds with science.
