Thanks for the quote! Do you happen to have a source for that quote? Other than that, you suggest Musk would otherwise “be in prison.” Under which legal framework or statute should a CEO face criminal liability for a failed technological prediction or delayed product rollout?

It's from this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEv99vxKjVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEv99vxKjVI I think he also repeated that on an investor call later. As for prison, just ask Trevor Milton or Elizabeth Holmes.

  Theranos was private, and its valuation went to 0. Tesla is public, and it lives as a meme stock. As long as enough fools believe Tesla will have self-driving taxis within Musk's latest timeline, the price can stay up, and nobody will sue. Instead, the investors voted to give him money that they had no obligation to give him.

    This is a good take - 'As long as enough fools believe Tesla will have self-driving taxis within Musk's latest timeline, the price can stay up, and nobody will sue'. What I'm describing is what happens after the pool of fools is exhausted.

Regarding prison, OP is making a reference to an interview of Elon Musk by Tucker Carlson. https://youtu.be/k89aYdZOC_I?si=didH8UhYUIz7Y1zy https://youtu.be/k89aYdZOC_I?si=didH8UhYUIz7Y1zy (link to the video snippet on the Tucker Carlson YouTube channel).
