Adam Klasfeld said:Nathan also appears skeptical about Hueston's argument that she should defer to Tesla. "If you prevail today, your argument is that I have no future role?" she asked. Not necessary, Hueston responds, adding Tesla's view deserves deference.
Latching onto the contradiction, Nathan deadpans: "I do apply it myself, but I defer to Tesla?"
I don't see why either side would be willing to "work it out". Elon certainly doesn't want more restrictions on his free speech after they removed those attempted restrictions from the settlement.
SEC will not want to add anything that removes their right to bother.
How can this be resolved other than by a judge?
Tasha Keeney is like the new Andrea JamesBut she is right, it was just yesterday or the day before that the CNBC host on "Squawk Box" speculated on the possibility that Elon Musk would lose his position as CEO,
What apology?
Someone should complain to the SEC that bloomberg is not a news source but in fact an entertainment company, you know, just looking out for the investors...This is incredible. Bloomberg sent several reporters to the courthouse and yet this one guy on Twitter delivers a 100x better quality and more accurate report.
Let me clarify, he was actually reporting, while Bloomberg used the time - mainly during Musk's lawyer's time - to post pre-written judgmental and snarky comments on Musk and Tesla and only occasionally went back to the live action... until the SEC lawyer came back. They spent most of the time basking in the light of their own smug commentary instead of reporting on what was happening in the court.
State of the media for you in a nutshell.
Much better summary in this twitter thread:

But it seems ARK SOLD Nvidia? And BOUGHT TSLA? Maybe I misunderstood your point.I'm amazed at how bullish they are with Nvidia fully know they are being dropped by Tesla, while Stadia can potentially disrupt Nvidia's graphics business. They are being attacked from all fronts since they charge an arm and a leg for their hardware so now inhouse ASIC is beating them at their own game
I would like them to realize that. However, I think their personal grievance is overriding any common senseOne possibility is that the SEC realize that going back to judge Nathan will be worse.
EM: Sorry I made fun of your name.
SEC: Sorry I told teacher when my feelings got hurt.
Lets be better friends and work to have the best Prom ever!
Seriously, if a better agreement is worked out then all will benefit. That agreement cannot remove EM but it can require some regular followups and it should have an end date. There should be an attempt to define what constitutes "material" specific to this agreement so there is a common understanding. Worst case, have the court choose which side has the better definition. Just my view...
Glad we are now beyond this hearing with a pretty reasonable path forward.
Kicked BOOMBLERG out of my bookmarks, I'm not amused. Thanks for the Adam Klasfeld hint.I'd suggest everyone read Adam Klasfeld tweets, much better reporting than Bloomberg's.
the judge didn't respond very favorably in this script. Seemed like a made-for-headlines drama with elon as the villainous ceo tryng to make his own rules.Adam Klasfeld on Twitter
@KlasfeldReports
Crumpton: "Tesla has, for whatever reason, thrown its lot with Mr. Musk."
Nathan interjects later: "If that's right, has Tesla done what is required of them?"
Crumpton calls the company's conduct "troubling."
For example, the real fault with the 420 tweet is that it was material, during the trading day, and the exchange was not notified before hand so that trading on $TSLA could be suspended -- that is pretty much the extent of what Musk did that was wrong.
I usually guess 50m so I can't be more than 50m too high
I may have this wrong. I said they'd be offset by drops in Model 3 deposits. But relative to Q4 results the Y deposits are an incremental source of cash. I'll have to think on that more.
I'm 99.9% sure it cannot. Some say Tesla had to move 600m into China as the "equity" portion of their $2b overall deal. I question that, they should have already had cash in China. Maybe the 10-Q will shed some light.
Guidance is 600m/quarter. My 200m is pretty bare bones. They can't keep starving capex if they want a growth company valuation. Unless they ditch Musk's whole dreadnought fantasy and go capital-light. Which I absolutely think they should, but do not expect.
On what basis do you make this claim?
They already crammed 1,152 more 18650 cells (16%) in the existing pack casing when they built the 100kWh packs. What makes you think they can add another 826 cells in there and/or have a cell with 10% volumetric energy density hiding somewhere they haven't used?
And what if Elon now happened to have some more evidence that he had the funding and were to win the original case?
Would the SEC then have to ask to shorts to send the money back?
A better question IMO would be:And what if Elon now happened to have some more evidence that he had the funding and were to win the original case?

There will almost certainly be a Model Y Tracker.The Model 3 Tracker will remain a work in progress for now. After five quarters of producing cars, however, it may have passed its peak usefulness.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
Sounds like the tracker may be on its last legs.
I think I didn't say that well, but the point was the underlying failure was not notifying the exchange because it was during business hours. Not that you can't make material statements during market hours, but there are procedures to follow.Note that while it's recommended to notify the NASDAQ of pending material news, I'm not aware of it being illegal to release material news during market hours.
So I don't think it was a legal problem.
the judge didn't respond very favorably in this script. Seemed like a made-for-headlines drama with elon as the villainous ceo tryng to make his own rules.
"I must and I will ensure that court orders are followed, regardless of whether you're a small potato or a big fish." And the dramatic "That's the rule of law." [end Scene]
Materialness is already legally defined, the ambiguity arose from "reasonably could be" and there is no way to improve on that without either discarding the requirement or defacto muzzling Musk.
