- shawn 8y ago$420.69, to be precise. The replies raise an interesting question: does this count as stock manipulation? I’m not sure it would, but the rules seem a bit arbitrary sometimes.
- SpaceManNabs 8y agoWhere did you get this number from?
- shawn 8y agohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y27ey39dRYQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y27ey39dRYQ It’s the size of the download.
- quickben 8y agoHe wrote "funding secured". Now he has to prove it upon demand, or he'll get sued. A lot.
- dudus 8y agoA pot joke borderline market manipulation. Just amazing. How do people get away with this?

- ebikelaw 8y agoIt’s not “borderline manipulation” it is textbook manipulation.
- aiyodev 8y agoHiring an army of astroturfers to post on Reddit, Twitter, and Hacker News doesn’t hurt.
- Voloskaya 8y agoExcept it's likely not a joke?
- dragontamer 8y agoYou do realize that 420 is the police code for Marijuana, right? Its a joke. The only alternative is that Elon Musk is manipulating the price of his shares by tweeting private and sensitive information and therefore needs to be fined by the SEC and possibly jailed for stock manipulation. Therefore, its a joke. Because as stupid as Mr. Musk has been this past year, I am sure he's well aware of the illegality of stock manipulation on American markets.
- chollida1 8y ago> You do realize that 420 is the police code for Marijuana, right? It's not... https://mentalfloss.com/article/62749/what-meaning-behind-420 https://mentalfloss.com/article/62749/what-meaning-behind-42... From the article > You may have heard that 420 is police code for possession, or maybe it’s the penal code for marijuana use. Both are false.
- Voloskaya 8y agoYou do realize that 420 is also part of the set of real numbers before being an alias for marijuana? 420 is also somewhere in the range of 15-20% higher than the current price, making it a realistic offering price.

- kolbe 8y agoFor any other company "$420" would be a pretty good indication of of this being a hack. But with Elon, it's hard to tell.
- Simulacra 8y agoHow is this different than Michael Dell saying the same thing about his company?
