This is'nt really questionable behavior, yet, but it's certainly unsustainable. Those companies require vehicles, especially SpaceX, and there's nothing wrong with buying those vehicles from Tesla. But it's hardly sustainable unless Musk claims the fleets wear out yearly. Hell, being Cybertrucks, that may turn out to be true.
But what if the parking lots of these companies start getting packed with unused Cybertrucks? What if he can't pretend these are legitimate purchases? Anyone know what legal issues might exist?
Musk's just kicking the can down the road on TLSA prices. It's a bubble. I know it, you know it, he knows it. I just wish it would pop and the dust would settle before the monster AI bubble pops.
Any potential legal issue would be a civil, not criminal matter, and would be with the other xAI and SpaceX shareholders. Both are private companies, so if someone has issues with this, there could be a lawsuit, but more likely, it'll result in a quiet settlement. If a lot of shareholders have an issue with this, then we'll probably hear something about it.
