      Don't worry, he'll just send Big Balls over to fire 75% of SEC staff "accidentally" including the people overseeing this case.

            facing serious allegations from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

            The allegations may be serious, however, the attempt to charge Elmo or otherwise hold him to account is destined to fail. Or, at least, be pardoned by Mangolini.

            Add it to the pile...

              All America can do is accuse. Accuse and actively deport citizens to El Salvadors prison system. There are no law for the administration and its Oligarchs.

                Tomorrow trump will talk about how the crazy, corrupt, useless SEC is trying to invade our country through Greenland or some crazy bs and half the country will lap it up.

                  Spiro emphasized that the SEC’s demand for such a large settlement was out of line with previous cases, where penalties for similar violations have typically been much lower, often under $100,000. Musk’s defense team argues that this case should follow those precedents, asserting that the penalties being sought are not proportional to the offense.

                  Not fair! That proposed fine would make the crime unprofitable for my client!

                        i think it's entirely possible that the pardon for 'everything' is already waiting for a sharpie scribble and that the SEC charges were not only expected--but planned in advance by muskrat.

                          Wow. Someone at the SEC is either being very brave, very stupid, or knows something we don't.

                            The SEC’s latest charges against Musk underscore the challenges faced by high-profile individuals, both in business and politics, when it comes to navigating financial regulations.

                            Wow. Being rich makes it harder to not break the law? Think I'm gonna go ahead and can bullshit.

                                $150 million seems a little small for turning a $40 billion company into a less organized version of 4chan.

                                  “This violation, if proven, only warrants a symbolic fine,” Spiro argued

                                  Reminded of the narcissist's prayer

                                  """
                                  That didn't happen.
                                  And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
                                  And if it was, that's not a big deal.
                                  And if it is, that's not my fault.
                                  And if it was, I didn't mean it.
                                  And if I did, you deserved it.
                                  """

                                  I hope when the revolution comes, all the people like this lawyer that enabled Musk also go up against the wall.

                                        $150m?

                                        That doesn't make any sense. That would have been like $0.19/share.

                                        He bought Twitter, priced at ~$41 in 10/2022. He's the last fucker I want to defend, and the SEC is effectively useless, but 19¢ per share?

                                        It's 10pm so I'm probably not matching right, but this doesn't make any fucking sense.
