Imagine, as I do every day, being the Tesla Inc. “Designated Securities Counsel” whose job is to review Elon Musk’s draft tweets before he sends them out. (Bloomberg News calls this unnamed but undoubtedly accomplished lawyer “Musk’s Mystery Twitter Sitter.”)
Wherein Matt Levine then proceeds to imagine the discussion that must have taken place.
I think these tweets are fine. If you don’t, you have to explain to me, specifically, how they violate the settlement.
I am not giving you a formal legal opinion that it is illegal for you to tweet “California.” I am just telling you that it’s dumb.
Apparently the compromise was that Musk tweeted the tweets, but first he changed his Twitter name to “Elon Tusk,” with an elephant emoji, to make them … less official? Less contemptuous? More annoying?
