    If it makes him feel better I accept. Reminds of a Nigerean prince who fondly wrote to me offerring to do something similar. I sent him my bank details last week.

    Sounds like a PR stunt. Meanwhile he is probably whining and dining SEC and Congress with his other billions.

    Unregulated crypto exchanges like the ones he owns have been running pump and dumps, rug pulls and promoting ponzi/scam-coins... The guilt must be getting to him.

    I would accept his offer of marriage provided he cuts his hair and a few other little things. Like, er, he keeps the hell away from me lol and I’m allowed to chase as many chicks as I can lol.

    Elon Musk seems hell bent on losing the $62billion he just paid for twitter.

    doesn't matter anymore, the the term of Elon Musk's remaining natural life, Tesla will make stupendous amounts of money. Barring war in the western Pacific, sooner or later, Tesla's market cap will overtake Saudi Aramco.

    i knew it!

    who is next to go, CZ? the knives have been out and they are not backing down on him either! looks like they will try get CZ / binance up on laundering

    The potential charges relate to an investigation launched in 2018 and focused on Binance's compliance with anti-money laundering laws and sanctions. Prosecutors at three Justice Department offices are reportedly involved; the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section (MLARS), the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington in Seattle and the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team.

    He gave a fortune away - to himself it seems. One of the companies allegedly loaned him $1billion

    He sounds like a very bored billionaire manufacturing some PR/drama to keep himself amused.
