Tesla is facing securities and wire fraud charges by the DOJ and SEC over their FSD claims.
He would be looking at jail time given his previous run-ins with the SEC.
Trump can make all of that go away.
- harry8 2y agoI don't know the answer but it seems like a reasonable question to ask: "Would he be facing those charges presently if he was the no. 1 public voice of democrat orthodoxy?" Maybe he would. Maybe we all suffer from Gell-Mann amnesia knowing how corrupt it all is when we turn the page and get concerned about maybe the tribe you dislike more will get power, which they always will in a 2 party system. I don't care for Elon or his politics. I am convinced that entrenched and accepted corruption is the biggest threat to continuing to have a democracy. Right there exists a cross-partisan rage that someone will tap and ride to power. Let's hope they're not genuinely evil.
