This is a serious allegation, can you provide supporting information?
- xadhominemx 4y agoWell Tesla bailed out SolarCity, a clear conflict of interest. Elon won the Tesla shareholder suit, basically on a technicality, but everyone can see what actually happened there.

- gamblor956 4y agoSolarCity was purchased to bail out Elon's cousins from their financial mismanagement (which was largely due to them listening to Elon about how to run the company). Boring Co used SpaceX and Tesla engineers for preliminary engineering work (and also for the Vegas tunnel) without reimbursing either company, and Boring Co used SpaceX's Hawthorne parking lot for its original test tube without leasing the land. BoringCo has not paid for the Teslas it uses, it received them for free. (As Tesla claims not to spend any money on marketing, giving these Teslas could not have been a marketing expense for Tesla unless they deliberately misrepresenting their financial statements, which is an entirely separate can of worms.) Tesla didn't pay SpaceX to send a Tesla into space. (See above.) Twitter used Tesla engineers, without reimbursement, to evaluate code just last week.
