Back in August, Elon Musk announced that he wanted Tesla to go private on Twitter. But after detailing the funding plan, it never materialized, which made quite a few investors unhappy. Now, Bloomberg reports that the Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into Tesla over Musk's public statements. Apparently Tesla's board wasn't even on board with the proposal, which fell through after just three weeks. The SEC was already investigating Tesla before Musk's early August tweets, and Bloomberg seems to think the investigation will open a "Pandora's Box" of other potential violations now that an investigation is underway.

"Last month, following Elon's announcement that he was considering taking the company private, Tesla received a voluntary request for documents from the DOJ and has been cooperative in responding to it," the company said in a statement released Tuesday following Bloomberg’s report of the investigation. "We have not received a subpoena, a request for testimony, or any other formal process. We respect the DOJ’s desire to get information about this and believe that the matter should be quickly resolved as they review the information they have received."
 
DOJ is doing its job as it should, hopefully wont take long as the company doesn't need these distractions at this point with BYD at their heel.

Shit like this proabably takes a couple years to settle.
 
Heh heh, when you deal with a publicly listed company the dumbest thing you can do is publicly discuss its matters in social media. It never ceases to amaze me how people can be so stupid to continue using social medias.
 
Just a plot by Big oil to take down the Guy\company that is going to put them out of business. Clearly in league with the space aliens!

They also kicked it over as they left and after 49+ years of being left in the unfiltered sun that flag is at best bleached completely through at worst is a pile of dust.

Did they really kick it over? Like a secret they kept to themselves?
 
Everybody should keep in mind that the DOJ and SEC perform many "investigations" every year, and very few ever result in fines, let alone criminal charges.

I know you're just joking but I have to say it anyway, DoD all the way.

Absolutely not!
How are his new wall revisions, to now extend into space from the US/Mexico border to stop those "undesirables" from hopping a space flight with SpaceX, going to be supervised if the Space Force is DoD?

Clearly needs to be DHS.

There is speculation that the back blast from the ascent rockets knocked it over. I don't think there is any proof of that happening though.

There are six US flags on the moon. According to NASA (2012), five of the six still stand but now they're completely white. The only one to fall over was the first one which was placed too close to the lander. "Damnit Aldrin, you had one f-ing job" could be heard from Armstrong when it took off.

Not really, but that'd be hillarious.

No wonder Musk is thinking about flying to the moon - DOJ has no jurisdiction there ;)

Um...jurisdiction has no relevance here. They are investigating something he did here so its well within their scope. Now if you say they cant go get him because no law enforcement agency has jurisdiction I would say you are wrong.

International law says that a host country is responsible for its citizens and property and whatever they might do in space. Which means that the FBI would just go grab his ass. Or the Marshals since they can also cross borders in some cases.
