The SEC has finally gotten around to Musk's purchases of Twitter stock and the associated securities laws violations. I think the SEC waited to long and now there is approximately zero chance he pays a fine. In another month he will effectively be above the law. Or more above the law. He kinda is already.

Is he more above the law (currently) than 

that pardoned lady who stole 53.7 million from tax payers?

that ccp spy with all that chins porn ?

or 

hunter Biden?

or 

51 lying intel agents.

Well he saved $143.7 million on those purchases by not abiding by regulations, so yes. Number 1 with a bullet.

Got any other poorly thought out questions?

Who would or should have received the 143.7 million dollars? Just a question. Not trying to be smart.

The people he bought the stock from without revealing he owned more than 5% of the company and that he had already begun negotiations to buy the company.

OK. Thanks.

Also.  Elon bought twitter in what April of 2022.  977 days ago.   Is the timing of this suspicious at all?   Does it seem a little politically motivated?   Nah.  I’m prolly crazy lol 

[Wrestleknownothing]

It is a fairly straight forward issue. He waited 21 days to file his 13f form after surpassing 5% ownership. You are allowed 10 days. And he continued to buy the stock the entire time. And when he finally did file he failed to reveal that he was in negotiations to buy the company which is required of any 5%+ owners. It is not a serious violation, no one goes to jail for it, but it is a very obvious set of violations. For example, here are 23 such penalties for similar violations issued in September: https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-148

Exactly. It is such a clear violation. It should have happened long ago. By waiting this long it is pretty clear that he will never pay any fine. Hence above the law. Gensler is gone in a month and the man Musk spent $200 million on to get elected is certainly not going to pursue him. You know, because "politically motivated" as you like to say.

Is this like running a red light on camera and getting the fine a little later?

[headshuck]

X more balanced.

[jross]

Felt like 90% to 10% before.

[Caveira]

Is twitter better (still)?

What say you?   Zuckerberg is going to adopt a more twitter style of free speech.  He even says he will work with Trump…. Maybe orange man isn’t that bad?

[Bigbrog]

That is what is so funny...actually completely ridiculous...claiming this whole time that they were not suppressing free speech and then turn around and admit that they in fact were suppressing free speech but is going to stop now.  Is this yet ANOTHER "conspiracy theory" that has been proven, correct??

[headshuck]

[mspart]

X must be better.   Facebook will emulate it.  I think this answers the question.

Now the wingers will love x and fb.  Crazy.  I bet the tubes follow suit too as the American people voted for less censorship.
 

Question is what do red Vikings love?  We know what you hate…. Just about everything.

I like your comment.  For some reason.  I think this isn’t a “never ending twitter post”.   It is but it isn’t.  
 

the fact that cnn or other left leaning news establishments are putting right leaning ideas on their show is telling.  Their ratings tanked the last few years.   It’s fascinating fwiw.

"as the American people voted for less censorship."

News flash... the American people have always voted for less censorship.

The only real news is that Trump barely eeked out a win with the popular vote - 49% to 48%.

And Trump is the only one who wants to control the media and their message... aka "censorship"

So I'll fix it - Just a bit more than half the American people voted for more censorship with Trump.
