isn't this just fraud in broad daylight? I don't get it. Why not at least try to hide it?

It's crazy but legally there's nothing fraudulent here. I'm sure the deal was approved by the boards of both companies.

Its only fraud if poor people do it. Welcome to American politics.

  • But the "fraud" here is being done mostly to VC investors with deep pockets and lawyers, at least until he tries to take this entity public. And I can't imagine them just taking this lying down, but then again maybe they realize that offloading this steaming pile on public market investors is the best way out. But even then... SpaceX seemed like it was quite viable on its own, the investors there are the real losers here.

    It is all very puzzling to me.
