Elon musk. regulators will keep a close eye on any potential deal. musk has had a volatile deal saying he secured funding to take tesla private in 2018. funding was secured, i want to be clear about that. why do i not have respect for the s.e.c., and certainly the san francisco office, the s.e.c. knew funding was secured but they pursued an active public investigation nonetheless. he was forced to concede to the s.e.c. unlawfully, those bastards. if twitter is able to block elon musk from buying them out, it will not spare them scrutiny. republican lawmakers will dig in a that as more proof of political bias on the platform.
