Not a coincidence. Elon also offered $420 per share when he tried to take Tesla private.

At TED yesterday he said it's as much a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, one of his favorite books. 42. The answer to everything.

Well yeah, he's never seen any real punishment from all the other times he's broken the law. So why would he stop?
He'll pump & dump again. Make a ton of money. Then after he's forced to pay a modest fine, he'll make it his mission in life to hunt down and destroy the careers of anyone involved in the investigation.

Yeah, where's he going to get $42B cash? A typical offer would describe the source of funds. This one doesn't.

He can get a loan for that much against his other holdings of $260B last I heard, pretty easily I imagine. Or he could sell some.

The Bloomberg article states this fact, as well.

Should have offered $69 per share. Ultimate meme-lord status.

69.4201337 to be exact
A coincidence? A week out from 4/20?
