Not sure where all the fan-love for Musk comes from, but him and Kanye would do well together because of it.

Obviously not yet. But if Tesla fails to curb Elon Musk, I'd expect the SEC to continue to clamp down.

Remember: Tesla's settlement was to agree to clamping down on Musk's tweets. If Tesla violates that, then SEC can bring down the hammer again.

So how many chances are we going to give billionaires? Three? Four? One hundred? Most people get one mistake.
