Blind Item #9

This drug loving CEO you ALL know by now is on his way out. The Board is slowly inching away from his recent statements.  At first, they started leaking some of their differences with the CEO to some journalists, relatively minor publications.  Last night, they picked the biggest of newspapers to leak massive differences, including a complaint that he is ignoring their advice.  The Board has also retained separate legal counsel.  They leaked that last night too. It has become apparent to the Board that the CEO's big recent statement was a complete lie. 

The Feds leaked their investigation to the big newspapers on purpose the day after the CEO made this big statement.  This is basically unprecedented.  In recent days, several former high-ranking Feds have gone on TV & accused the CEO of making a fraudulent statement – also unprecedented. 
The Board doesn't have much liability insurance either, and the details & potential liability of the CEO's recent actions are starting to sink in, and they are getting scared. 

Don't expect this CEO to be around much longer, a month or 2 at most.    If he departs on friendly terms with the Board, the cover story will be - a leave of absence for exhaustion, which will eventually become permanent.  If he refuses that, they will fire him.  They really have no other choice - it is only a matter of time.

This is hardly a blind.

Elon Musk with SEC investigation.

Trying to fit DB somewhere in this, I know he is somehow involved in this!

Agree, this is an 20/20 vision item, not a blind item.

Poor Telulah! That 3rd divorce fleecing is looking less and less likely with each passing day, and she isn't getting any prettier.

Elon Musk constantly popping off and running his brand and his company. He's a loose cannon. For me, the first tip-off that he was nutty was the floating Tesla in space with the crash test dummy in the drivers seat. That whole scene was faked.

OH WOW UM WHO COULD THIS BE

Phelps said...

Best thing that could happen to SpaceX.

If anything, this may be the thing that really pushes humanity to Mars.

(Insert Arnold "GET YOUR ASS TO MARS!" gif here.)

@Phelps

you could be right.

mrkwong said...

Alas, poor Elon, I knew him...okay, not well, but I knew him.

Since those days, four score and seven years ago (okay, about one score...) I've said exactly the same thing about him: he's incredibly bright but not quite as bright as he thinks he is. He was definitely, oh definitely, not a bimbos-and-coke guy back then. Fame went to his head.

I don't want to see Tesla fail. I don't want to see SpaceX fail. But at this point, particularly with Tesla, it's no longer him, it's a competent board willing to put him on the shelf.

All this effort and your shorts are still deep in the red.

It's entertaining to watch the flailing, though.

gauloise said...

These Silicon Valley guys always fall upwards, he will prob just come up with a new idea and get tons of VC funding

Iqui said...

I wonder if he shares his stash of drugs with his singer gf.

Halloweenie said...

I mean our coke head cheeto in charge had four bankruptcies which he was bailed out of and he's the prez so chin up musk anything can happen if you utilize enough russian bot farms and Russian hit men ( allegedly). Anyways teslas are very pretty cars. Like sleek little pieces of art . I hope tesla survives.

@Neal M. LOL. @Phelps Well and really going to Mars is a huge world problem solving thing worth spending billions on (not).

Jay said...

Please stop this person from posting nonsense. These are 100% false and made up. Musk is not going anywhere. Tesla is now the leading car maker in the mid-size category vs. bmw/Lexus/Mercedes, etc. the competitors are scared. The people trying to short the stock are scared. And every day they make up stories like this in order to damage the company and the stock.

Chase said...

So the SEC announced they are investigating him today.
But when are they going to investigate Zuckerberg. That MFer sold off $3.6B in stock before eating shit on their bad adv numbers. If that isn't insider trading , not sure what is. Musk will just have a harder time getting BJ's from Hollywood whores.

Jay reminds me of those Microsoft shills that were all over GameFAQs during the Xbox One E3 disaster a few years back.

Colonel Blake said...

Musk. I believe he's know accepting Russian rubles. Seriously.

LyleAlzedo said...

I used to take these Musk blinds with a grain of salt. Enty seemed green with envy or if Enty's a girl, maybe it was personal. But the money troubles came to light just like Enty described, which was a shock. So I trust him on this one.

OKay said...

@Jay I sure hope Elon paid you upfront and in cash for your "support."

Sal T said...

I bet Hedge is having a celebratory lamb shank to this news.

Scandi Sanskrit said...

Alien Musk.

Go back to your home planet, Elon.

Sayonara!

That the Musk blinds are turning out to be true is just how things used to play out on this board.

Hedge and others get props for tipping people off to what was really going on.

annieroo said...

The board should just insist all members are drug tested.

Grateful Goddess said...

Hey Elon if you’d stop hoovering blow like a 20-year-old and tweeting on acid (dumb baby!) maybe you wouldn’t have to sockpuppet your own blinds

Thot Crimes said...

He's been wondering for a while now what a dude has to do to get left alone with his rocket ships. (He's board with running Tesla, but the board wouldn't let him go gracefully, so he's been ramping up the pressure in the media with his "erratic" behavior.)
