Well, the jury felt like it was.
I suspect elon is posing as human and is actually a demon-child. So it's not like I have some loyalty to a billionaire. But I'm content to let juries sort this kind of ****. If elon pulled a **** and got away with it, se la vie.
Okay.

Unbelievable.

Very same thing happens with negative earnings surprises.

Like folks getting the clot shot based on Pfizer's CEO claim that the jabs were "safe and effective" based on Pfizer's trials!
While that's true, what you are effectively suggesting is that the typical jury in this day and age would more likely favor a billionaire, over the little people like you that you're suggesting he conned.Vegas » 10 Feb 2023, 1:02 pm » wrote: ↑ Juries are filled with people in the public...who are idiots.

Since you seem closer to it, I'm curious as to what the stock price was, before Musk said he would get funding, and what was the low the stock hit after it was learned that he wasn't getting funding?
I see the last price is $53.70.

I'm sorry but you lost your sense of reason here. I did what I could.And why I say most people in the juries are idiots is because it's not uncommon for people to favor who they like over the evidence. If they didn't like the prosecutor, for whatever reason, then that itself would be enough to favor Musk. They put the evidence aside.
