Using FAANG comp is definitely relevant if you have FAANG-level credentials and can get an offer from a FAANG. If IBM is interviewing this type of people, they're expected to make competitive offers rather than waste everyone's ti

Me neither. My own comments here on HN when the story broke were very positive and impressed for that very reason: it would have been a great feat, buying back the company at 20% above than its present value, especially when he said early i

The paragraph you quoted applies equally to police investigations. They can also take "months" and don't always lead to prosecution. Would you say that means police investigations are therefore generally "not serious&quo

The investigation is about potential violation of federal securities law, which would be a criminal offense. If there is sufficient evidence of such criminal violation, the SEC will hand it over to the appropriate enforcement agency to pros

Being clever doesn't preclude being irrational, irresponsible, or, you know, unstable... His recent "pedo" tweet wasn't very productive either.

Of course, but everything he says implies he has the funding. Announcing this before funding is in place (the most crucial piece of this puzzle) would be incredibly irresponsible.

I seriously doubt $70bn are changing hands because someone got "emotional". In my understanding, this is a great deal for Tesla, the key question is how Musk got the enormous amount of money to pull this through...

Lots of things can go wrong with a deal this size, but yes, unless he's bluffing, this most likely will happen.

If you're a heavy TSLA short-seller, you're already in deep trouble, unless this falls through very quickly. There will be margin calls. Welcome to the losing side of short-selling.
