Actual government legal agency going after someone on a stupid immaterial technicality about requiring approval for disclosing material information that might affect stock: The tweet didn't have material information. The 500k number was public and discussed on a public investor call.

vs.

Crazy guy that bankrupted himself trying to build a rocket company and a car company simultaneously is less than overly cautious about his tweeting and how it could be used in bad faith by a government legal agency in the USA to persecute him.

as a former sociology major, I'm pretty sure the judicial system still spends much of its time on cases w/ less merit than this
