Lying about future products, “it will do X” is much different than lying about what you have in the market right now “it is doing X”.

Elon engages in the first, Holmes in the second. I think, if Holmes merely went bankrupt because she couldn’t get to a functional product rather than releasing a product and knowingly lying about its capabilities, she’d be in much less hot water.
