How was Musk's offer - a public disclosure with few conditions or contingencies, made in bad faith? At face value, it does not violate basic standards of honesty or appear to deliberately mislead.

At face value Musk has a history of paying large SEC fines because he lied to investors.

From TED yesterday.

"Funding was indeed secured. I should say I do not have respect for the SEC in that situation. I don’t mean to blame everyone at the SEC, but certainly the San Francisco office. The SEC knew that funding was secured. They pursued an active public investigation, nonetheless. I was forced to concede to the SEC unlawfully."

I don't think him saying that makes it true. He certainly never brought Tesla private or brought a serious offer to do so.

It's another 420 reference just like his claim to have financing ready to take Tesla private which turned out to be false and just a joke.

I implore you to do what I suggested in the parent comment.

How many times is “non-binding” said in the document?
