Other parties settle, leaving Musk to face the music
Directors of Tesla Inc settled a shareholder lawsuit over the company's 2016 acquisition of SolarCity Corp, leaving Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk as the lone defendant facing claims that Tesla paid $2.6 billion for a worthless solar energy system installer, according to court documents.
The $60 million settlement comes as a 10-day trial is scheduled to start on March 16 in Delaware in which shareholders seek $2.6 billion in damages, the entire cost of the SolarCity deal. . . .
Tesla shareholders have alleged Musk breached his fiduciary duties, squandered Tesla's assets and unjustly enriched himself by pushing to buy the money-losing solar company in which he was the biggest investor.
The settlement covered five current directors: Robyn Denholm, Ira Ehrenpreis, Antonio Gracias, Stephen Jurvetson and Kimbal Musk. Brad Buss, who was a director at the time of the SolarCity deal, was also part of the settlement, which was paid from insurance policies, according to court documents.
"Plaintiffs probably think they have a cleaner shot on the merits if the only issues they have to raise are with Elon Musk and Elon Musk's actions," said Brian Quinn, a professor at Boston College Law School. . . .

Hate to poke the bear, but can you be more specific? Not meeting planned milestones doesn't make someone a liar.
Could this be a massive short squeeze taking place? Either way, it's going to be a heck of a rollercoaster ride.EatsShootsandLeafs said:Stock up another $100 premarket. Completely abdicated from reality.

I find it really unbelievable some of you think he is not just an abject liar. Robotaxi fleet 1M cars in 2020, teslas that supposedly appreciate multiple times over their life. These are not moon shots. They are just lies. And are roundly mocked when stated, so it's not like anybody (including musk) believes them when he says them.
Stock up another $100 premarket. Completely abdicated from reality.
coleafrado said:IMO, the "short squeeze" talk is bogus. What's happening now is just panic buying (not by shorts) and speculation - just like Bitcoin way back in December 2017.
It may hit $1-2k, but my guess is that it'll be below $400 by March. I'm not placing any bets, though... :shock:

coleafrado said:The thing is, when you're comparing Tesla to Amazon on the basis of their P/E and their minimal profits - demand for cars is no where near as constant as the demand for the millions of products Amazon sells. Sure, infinite growth and perfect balance of income and capital expenditure works for Amazon, but for a company selling cars... overexpansion can mean death, and fast.
I think that's part of it. Now the stock is $900.jlv said:Could this be a massive short squeeze taking place? Either way, it's going to be a heck of a rollercoaster ride.EatsShootsandLeafs said:Stock up another $100 premarket. Completely abdicated from reality.

Tesla is mostly a car company, and its future depends on domination of the car market, at least in the USA. Outside the USA, Tesla will need to compete, and will be less profitable.
Sadly, those people might learn the hard way the answer to "How do you make a small fortune in the stock market?".EatsShootsandLeafs said:(apparently 12,000 people on robinhood bought tsla for first time yesterday).

Actually I was thinking about you painting the lens of your internet glasses black?
Musk's goal to remove the need for fossil fuels as much as possible is what drives him and therefore his many industries.
