k tomu potencialnimu kriminalu se nazory znacne ruzni. zde jeden podrobnejsi pohled typu "jasna vec" (nejaky nahodny redditor)
Answer: it’s white collar crime. I’m disappointed in these other comments saying he hasn’t done anything wrong and/or won’t go to prison. It’s white collar crime guys, you’re thinking too narrowly about politics and forgetting his misdeeds in business. The man has already been charged with fraud by the SEC and allegedly isn’t adhering to the settlement rules.
He tried to take it to the Supreme Court, they declined.

That is beyond illegal in every sense of the rules of Wall Street. Especially as he’s on record lying about it.
Could it be made-up self-victimizing? I guess so. But Elon Musk has allegedly committed fraud and seems to be reluctant to show a good faith effort to follow the rules, and could very well face criminal consequences for not adhering to the settlement or being found in contempt of court. There’s a popular narrative that everyone on Wall Street is committing crimes, but the SEC does what it can to keep it a level playing field and they’re the one agency that people generally don’t want to fuck with. Why Elon Musk keeps picking a fight with them is anyone’s guess but it’s not going to be pretty.
