Doesn't Elon do the same thing such as when SpaceX bought a fleet of Cybertrucks?

Just sounds like how the rich move wealth around to stay/look wealthy.

Even if proven and convicted, none of these rich fucks will ever see any consequences beyond a slap on the wrist fine -- almost certainly a fine much smaller than the profits they made through this fraud. And then, just out of spite, they'll appeal it in a higher court and get the fine reduced or tossed out entirely.

You have WAY too much faith in the American court system. Don't worry, you too will get disillusioned. Just give it some time.
