> But you can't hand wave away his statements on Twitter as "Oh, that's just Elon, all Tesla's corporate statements have very explicitly (in at times very fine print) said it's contingent on 'capability' and 'regulation'" when Tesla have literally said "Elon's Twitter _is_ a Tesla corporate statement".
Yes and no. His settlement with SEC only requires vetting for tweets that have material impact to investors. Anything else is just his opinion, although I agree that's a very fine line - [0]
Take his tweet sent out today about Battery Day event tomorrow:
> Important note about Tesla Battery Day unveil tomorrow. This affects long-term production, especially Semi, Cybertruck & Roadster, but what we announce will not reach serious high-volume production until 2022 - [1]
Clearly a vetted communication. A less serious one in contrast:
> Bitte arbeiten Sie bei Tesla Giga Berlin! Es wird super Spaß machen!! - [2]
