https://money.cnn.com/2018/09/29…
"Elon Musk agreed Saturday to step down as chairman of Tesla and pay a $20 million fine in a deal to settle charges brought this week by the Securities and Exchange Commission."
- yeah hes donested
- is $20 million like $200 or $2000 bucks to us?fooler
- It’s still his company.monospaced
- yeah—he's not going anywhere—just can't be chairman for 3 years but will remain CEO... and has to shell out 2 weeks of lunch money for being a dick on twitterPonyBoy
- Yup.monospaced
- Hopefully he takes a good long vacation at some point. He really needs to unplug for awhile.monospaced
- Who is he paying $20 million to? all the disenfranchised twatter users?cannonball1978
- No I believe the SEC gets all the money. Isn't that how this organization lives off of fines? lolNBQ00
- money goes to investors supposedly, but not people that shorted the stockernexbcn
- I doubt I'll be getting a check. It's just like any financial fine...where did the billions for falsifying the billion rules broken a decade ago go?formed
- This will be good, overall, if he can get some new, stable execs.formed
- He could go to Thailand to reflectmugwart
- he made 54 million on the tweet...********

- kick'em when he's down!hotroddy
- Yes I read the book too and if that’s all they got out of it, they’re dicks.BusterBoy
- I read earlier today that he's rated the 25th richest person in the world - I had no idea! Good for him, the twat. Can't succeed without risking failure.Nairn
- Almost all of these could be interpreted as successes. Crashed his $1m mclaren? More like owned one! Ousted as CEO? More like WAS a ceo.monospaced
- Rockets crash. But he created a space company! A Tesla crashes, but he made electric cars cool and very real. Russians turned him down? Who didn’t? Start spaceXmonospaced
- ^it's an amazing career. He really is changing the world.formed
- He’s a legend...but sometimes I wish he’d just shut his fucking mouth and stick to Spacexing and Teslaing.BusterBoy

- attention whore.chukkaphob
- it's not even a flame thrower; just an oversized cigarette lighter. Con man and his con jobs.chukkaphob
- But he's a visionary! With a fake tit in his chin.MrT
- how much ambien do you think he's on while playing with this thing?sarahfailin
- but cares about the enivornmentutopian
- it's a roofers tar torch.shapesalad
- toy. the word you are looking for is toyimbecile
- Who cares? He can and he did. Because he can. And he’s a nerd. And it shoots flame. Who cares?monospaced
- stable geniusutopian
- ^ what mono said. He made a boring co, rocket co, car co, flame thrower...you gotta admire his achievementsformed

Elon Musk mocks SEC amid settlement deal

Read the bio by Ashlee Vance...far out...there's so much more to Musk than what you see in the press. He's a fucken complex character. I agree he does shoot his mouth off and can be a complete dick, but there's no doubting if he wasn't around, Space exploration and electric vehicles would be nowhere near as progressed as they are.
He just needs to keep his mouth shut...and probably see a therapist.
- He's different, he's quirky but he is doing more for the world then most normal CEO's whom only care about their bank accounts.mugwart
- I want more people to be honest, i dont want people to be silent. Be a dick, be loud - makes the world more colourful.mugwart
- That’s fine...just don’t go around calling people pedosBusterBoy
- ^ no but it is a bit fun to observe! ;-)mugwart
- why does he have to keep his mouth shut?inteliboy
- because the stock plummets when he goes off, and if you own the stock you don't want thatformed
- @inteliboy +1 , @formed you mean you care more about the stock than the nr 1 shareholder (elon himself)inv
- No Elon...no Tesla or Spacex. These companies existence depends on his presence...so he needs to keep his mouth shut.BusterBoy
- Sure...talk about things that won't get you in deep shit. Just steer clear of the securities and pedo shit.BusterBoy
- I like this post, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Guy's a fucking weeble.PhanLo

What a total asshole, helping these people, just to get people to like him!- or ... OR ... he's doing it because he can and it's the right thing to do. You can't just assume that's why he's doing it.monospaced
- also ,... addressing the Flint water situation as a philanthropist is the exact OPPOSITE of being an asshole. WTF?monospaced
- I am fucking kidding.inv
- yeah the exclamation mark at the end gave it away!_niko
- but it is fucked up that he and anyone like him had to step in when the government can't or won't._niko
- and criticizing him for flamethrowers when the focus should be on a government that spends a trillion dollars on flamethrowers plus other nonsense_niko
- +1 niko. The biggest disgrace is this had to be privately funded. No votes in Flint I'm guessing.BusterBoy
- PR Stuntutopian
- If these people get the money/equipment then he's done something right - regardless of his motives the peoples health are the most important thing.mugwart
- +1 PR Stuntchukkaphob
- but it's not a PR stuntmonospaced
- +1 mugwartuan
- finally pays 500K+ unpaid taxes to NV, now giving a school near that for water which was already safe... did he finally get someone to buy a few cars********
- Just like Elon Trump's oversized rescue submarine wasn't a a PR stunt as well.utopian
- more curious who gets the contract to install the filters. probably boring co. 480K seems spendy for filters even if IR. and wonder if a one time donation forc********
- es the schools now to be on the hook for a more expensive filter replacement, more frequently all for a lil PR********
- 100% PR stunt. Trying to clear his name amidst his current firing from Tesla, etc. What a manipulator!chukkaphob
- except it's not a PR stunt, and his name doesn't even need clearing ... AS IF doing this would clear it in the first placemonospaced
- ^ LOL!chukkaphob
- what's so funny?monospaced
- He pledged to fix the Flint issue back in July, before the whole Tesla thing. He wasn't even fired. He's still CEO.monospaced
- Wait, you're actually defending Musk as a philanthropist?garbage
- Also double wait.. do you actually own a Tesla?garbage
- Wait, you're commenting on a comment I made 5 years ago, like an obsessed troll with severe mental issues? Yup, you are. Loser.monospaced
- I didn't even know it was 5 years old, it was in my feed.garbage
- It was good he did fix the Flint water supply issue.PhanLo
