Do I have that right?

Yep. I do. He will need Hart Scott Antitrust clearance to buy the OpenAI platform, for [updated, due to NASDAQ price increase] ~$98 ~$95 billion — on size of person and size of transaction basis, since he also owns a controlling stake in X-itter the social media platform previously called Twitter. [For its part, OpenAI says it will not sell to Elon — but “time, and tide, luv… time, and tide….”]

And — gee, huge surprise! Tangerine 2.0 intends to relax the DoJ Antitrust enforcement guidelines, anyway.

The idea that 99% of all Americans have no idea how many ways Elon is corrupting our commerce — and manifold facets of our public life — is jaw slacking.

The guy is now touting a meme-coin called “Harry Bolz” — read it phonetically.

He likely has bought a stake in the meme, and will dump once the rubes pile into it.

This is SEC’s province, as he is a ’34 Act registered control person, via Tesla.

And this is market manipulation — all whilst lobbying, from outside the government, all manner of MAGA hanger-on, in Congress and at 1600 Penn… without the required registrations and disclosures of conflicts, under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.

That statute carries a two year felony stint — for wilful violations, btw.

Onward. We may stop covering his ordinary business moves — and only mention… his corrupt deals. But I repeat myself.

Out.
