That's not how it would work. It was a joke (lie) given the intentions and plans of Tesla on April 1st. Any human (correction: any human who should be making investment decisions) looking at the announcement can tell that it's false. It wouldn't matter if Tesla later decided to introduce a watch named the Model W to try to "cover up" the lie. (It might matter to someone, but it wouldn't turn a crime into a non-crime.)
- krick 12y agoYour statement is easy to prove wrong: it's enough to find any human that looking at the announcement can't tell that it's false. And I bet I can find such human. It scares me, how many of them I can find.
- sib 12y agoThat's why the "reasonable person" standard exists. Laws generally are not interpreted binarily.
- Crito 12y ago> "it's enough to find any human that looking at the announcement can't tell that it's false." I have no doubt that you could find such a person. Similarly, I can find people who believe that the earth is flat, that the queen is a lizard, and that nuclear bombs do not exist. Finding a person who believes something stupid is no feat. That is why the law has the concept of the reasonable person. Anyone who believed this joke was not reasonable.
