Alcohol ads use themes like happiness, prestige, sophistication, success, maturity, athletic ability, creativity, sexual satisfaction to target consumers.But the misuse of alcohol actually diminishes and ultimately destroys these qualities if you drink enough.— Nicole Behnam (@NicoleBehnam) January 20, 2023

she then later tweets that she has "fallen for this scam before"
I'm picturing her seeing a very sexy ad for tequila and then drinking like two whole bottles

This has come up a bunch in testimony, so it's worth spelling it out: Musk seems to believe that the fact that he once tweeted that Tesla stock price was too high but it immediately went higher absolves him of any subsequent attempt to manipulate the stock price by tweet. https://t.co/K0bsyHigzL— E.W.

Whenever my co's CEO tells us something big that'd affect our stock price we're all told REALLY STRONGLY that we are not to touch our shares or tell anyone else, on pain of legal/criminal punishment. Its not rocket science. Musk surely cant be that stupid. You talk acquisitions, you halt trading ffs.

yeah, he’s being stupid but in a crafty way
it’s like when your parents told you something was the LAW and you’re like, ok, I am going to be cautious because if I do this things the cops will know and come arrest me! then you see others do the thing and the cops never show up. pretty soon you realize that it’s rare people get caught, but if they have money, they can lawyer their way out of it anyway, like a rich old man who never puts the required license plates on his car but just pays the fine every time
eventually you have money and haven’t seen any real enforcement and you’re Elon and you just do whatever because if you are a billionaire the cost of fines and lawyers far outstrips your gaming of the market
― mh, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 01:29 (one year ago) link
in the US the supposed checks and balances system is kind of a farce and an afterthought based on constitutional interpretation (branches to create, execute, and judge according to to law) but we kept adding little hacks and totally new things like the stock market appeared, agencies that may or may not have actual teeth to do things. and there are even libertarian types who have now argued that regulatory agencies can’t enforce anything, and the concept is going through courts. are the SEC, FCC, etc really able to block things or levy fines without a jury trial? maybe not!

If your steering wheel falls off just lean to the right or left to turn the car.
