Why? Because remembering to not do things is a restraint that is extremely mentally burdensome and thus difficult to get correct 100% of the time.

When you're the CEO of a publicly traded company, getting paid millions in stock comp to run that company, you don't get to use the excuse "it's mentally burdensome". The whole reason they're in that position, getting paid those obscene amounts, is that they're supposed to be able to handle the burden. If they're not able to handle it, they should step aside for someone who can.

It has been demonstrated countless times that "just don't make mistakes" does not work, has never worked, and will never work. The whole reason bureaucracy exists is because people can't even be expected to consistently follow their own rules, let alone rules that are imposed on them. Every publicly-traded company has a process for shareholder communication but Elon Musk is just out there tweeting whatever comes to his mind.

This isn't a mistake. Musk is on record saying he doesn't respect the SEC, suggesting he doesn't feel bound by his legal agreement with them. He does this on purpose.

Why are you bawking at OP's software solution, in favor of a much more complicated software solution?

The solution I favor is the one that Musk agreed to in his legal settlement with the SEC: have a human review his tweets before he hits the post button. No additional software required. If Tesla wants, they can overengineer a solution like they did with the Alien Dreadnought, but there's a zero-cost solution already available to them.

My point is only a robot could adjust their behavior that fast to 100% comply with the SEC agreement.
