Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can't believe he would do this without being elected to congress first

This was not a good comment to read directly after sipping coffee

I still can't believe that Menendez had a stash in his closet of not just cash but gold bars too. That's a scene from a Coen Brothers movie called "Congress".

I don't think he's guilty, insider trading requires having material, nonpublic knowledge of a company's workings, so to be guilty, Elon Musk would have to have knowledge.

I really, really hate this guy. Just the worst kind of "I'm the smartest boy in the room" shit coming from a completely mid intellect that's been gassed up as the ueberboer his entire life. Load bearing toxic copes as central pillars of his identity. Viciously hateful takes and barely coded white supremacy nonsense. There's a lot there to despise, but I gotta tell you that unless it leads to his actual downfall, and it won't, how can anyone care about an accusation of something that's been obvious to anybody paying attention?

This guy made a car to spec on an apple 2 edutainment program and made it real. He's the worst.

Oddly enough I think Elon deserves to win this one since only a brainwashed moron thought it had a fair valuation and selling was the obvious play.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

He'll never wriggle out of this jam!

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

Assuming melon-musk isn't literally braindead he would have scheduled this sale well in advance to avoid any insider trading accusations.

So there's only a 70% chance he's guilty.

I sure hope this wealthy white man faces consequences!

ah well nevertheless

I have to admit that I was an idiot when I saw the title. I thought at first the DOJ might be doing something. What have I been smoking? I haven't even been smoking.

A Tesla investor is accusing...

Of course.
