From Article:

Elon Musk replied ““A bunch of sharks on Wall Street wanted Tesla to die very badly. I believe short-selling should be made illegal. It is a means for, in my opinion, bad people on Wall Street to steal money from investors. Not good.”

“Just because I tweet something does not mean people believe it or will act accordingly,” he said from the witness stand. Regarding Twitter’s character limit, he said, “I think you can absolutely be truthful but can you be comprehensive? Of course not.” $TSLAQ

Best from replies:
Musk tweeted on Aug. 7, 2018: “Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.” He followed that with “Investor support is confirmed. Only reason why this is not certain is that it’s contingent on a shareholder vote.”

In the days after, Musk’s claim fell apart.
"Musk disclosed on Aug. 13, 2018, he had been in communication with the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund over the potential of taking the company private at a price that would value the company at more than $70 billion. But the post was far from definitive."
Tesla published a blog post from Musk on Aug. 24, '18, that he intended to keep Tesla public. “That said, my belief that there's more than enough funding to take Tesla private was reinforced during this process,” it read.

He lied, shareholders suffered.
He'll do it again. $TSLAQ

Elon Musk oversaw the creation of a 2016 video that exaggerated the abilities of Tesla Inc.’s driver-assistance system Autopilot, even dictating the opening text that claimed the company’s car drove itself, according to internal emails viewed by Bloomberg. $TSLAQ
Musk wrote to Tesla’s Autopilot team after 2 a.m. California time in October 2016 to emphasize the importance of a demonstration drive to promote the system, which the chief executive officer made a splashy announcement about a week later. Image
The email sheds light on Musk’s mindset before he and Tesla then made claims about capabilities that have yet to materialize more than six years later. Image

🔍 Random #TwitterFiles ⚠️ Antivax Pt #1 💉

Monetizing disinfo & fear, histories either blank or bad. All ☑️'s were bought.

🧵THREAD Points:
1️⃣healthbyjames /2️⃣_HeartOfGrace_ /3️⃣TexasLindsay_ / 4️⃣JesslovesMJK /5️⃣stkirsch

👀 Using *ONLY* PUBLIC/FREE data, are they credible? ImageImageImageImage
Irony: Grifters come in clusters.

💠 First: I saw a tweet re: someone who's ruffled feathers in antivax grift Twitter for "plagiarism."

1️⃣"James Cintolo" aka @/healthbyjames, lists "RN," "FN," and "CPT"

RN/FN = registered/functional(?) nurse
CPT = CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER 🏋️‍♂️ ImageImageImage
Cintolo shills in anger/fear w/ no expertise.

Has Substack/YouTube w/ all the antivax hits.

His "practice" is as a personal trainer. He deleted his LinkedIn after that was pointed out.

2yrs with a RN license but no public experience. ImageImageImageImage

⚠️Oh my god, this is.. not at all surprising. Some of my fave highlights in this Thread 🧵 $TSLAQ $TWTR

Exactly the kind of painting I'd expect from an Elon Musk stan though.

Maximum Cringe. #grift #cult Image
"Midas Touch is a cautionary tale."

I want to make this very clear: If I ever find out who that Product Manager was, or their venmo/kofi/whatever, I will personally buy them a drink. Or cheese.

You are my kind of person, and I appreciate you. #Twitter #LoveWhereYouWorked Image

Lol. Lmao.

Currently at a salon, overheard some very bougie ladies talking about their Teslas.

Specifically, how hard it is to sell them off rn. Both are talking about getting either Mercedes-Benz or BMW? They seem v excited about their future purchases.

THREAD: If this gets shared to you in a reply, it's because you've either pinged me and included @iamraisini, or you've shared some of his disinfo.

Raisini is an antisemite that defends Andrew Tate and Kanye West. He blocked me when I called him out on it. ImageImageImageImage
While his *current* views on Musk in general are mostly right, @iamraisini's ideas are not unique, nor was he the first to notice. He also regularly does what Musk does w/ memes, but with info- copy/pastes w/o attribution.

He also doesn't know what Twitter Lists are, apparently. ImageImageImageImage
The hilarious name @iamraisini goes by- "Leonidas Xerxes Augustus" -is a product of his own ego.

Looking up Raisini Records shows who he is:

Haneef al Raisi, of Baluchi (Iranian) heritage who is a music producer in the UAE.
