You mean the instance where he did have a verbal agreement with an able buyer? A buyer who admitted to such in private text messages that came to light in court proceedings, and who later bought a different electric car startup?

"Verbal agreement" that has no stipulations about price or anything concrete that a U.S. Judge could find.

You asked for an example, and received one. No True Scotsman'ing the violation doesn't change the fact that Musk pumped the stock on Twitter with false and misleading statements.

Another example includes crypto: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-05-13/money-...

> Musk has a history of making public, bad-faith declarations to pump assets he later sells at profit.

The example you linked does not showcase nor prove your original point.

Only if you don't read it.

At this point I'm beginning to wonder what your burden of proof is for Musk doing anything that could be considered wrong.
