as stupid as tweeting incorrectly and without legal review when tweeting correctly and with review is essentially your simple, easy to observe, 'terms of parole'?

Actual government legal agency going after someone on a stupid immaterial technicality about requiring approval for disclosing material information that might affect stock: The tweet didn't have material information. The 500k number was public and discussed on a public investor call.

vs.

Crazy guy that bankrupted himself trying to build a rocket company and a car company simultaneously is less than overly cautious about his tweeting and how it could be used in bad faith by a government legal agency in the USA to persecute him.

He publicly bragged. That's not "less than overly cautious" behaviour. That's flat out arrogance.
