Elon Musk Settles SEC Fraud Charges
I think this is the best outcome we can have (although there might be other lawsuits from the short sellers).<p>Elon will learn a hard lesson, there will be a committee and procedures to control his communication channels. He will still be CEO and the spirit of Tesla will be unharmed in the long run.<p>As much as I see myself as an objective person, Elon is genuine in his passion and his vision. Derailing him to jail time or prison would be a net loss for humanity, however objectively and legally inconsistent it may be.<p>Edit: The news cycle and PR things have a very short term memory. Just a year ago, people were praising him for his style and overall he was considered an extraordinary leader, CEO and a visionary.
