    do love me some irony - & therein lies the irony.
    or is it a mere coincidence - the political party getting union backing (& union's reciprocity backing that political party) didn't happen to see fit for 'SOME' corporate goings on .... & yet it's all polutical hands on deck when corporate governance goes against the political status quo.
    or - perhaps I'm just 3 shades of jade.

    I have no idea. If my day job was an investigative reporter maybe I'd find out, but as it is I just go by what I read.
    Many jump to conclusions on one side and say this must be what happened

    Do you want to discuss this in the political section?

    Yet jumped to the conclusion that it wasn't what happened and defended that here.

    The letter comes down to telling the board to do its job and make sure their CEO is keeping the public company's business from their private ones, and to ensure the CEO isn't anything to hurt the company.

    if she wasn't singling out musk, i could appreciate it more. but corporate bad actors have been a fixture in american business since there's been american business.
    go after many (most) of them and i'm fine with it.
    of course it's politics, she's not accomplishing anything, that's the definition.

    So that gives Tesla's board and Musk a free pass? We haven't gone after all the bad actors so let's not after any.

    Stockholders vs Government
    • Government proves deceit on stockholders, a Ponzi scheme, it should be shutdown.
    • Stockholders know what they want, government hands off.
    The classic case is Enron whose perfidy was well documented. Send the corporate officers to jail . . . done. Contrast with Tesla.

    I have a 2019 on my driveway with 140,000 miles. Elon-time, schedules are what happens when at the cutting edge of technology. Working 50 years engineering and operating system programmer showed that to be the case.
