They were happy for him to become a director. He balked as soon as it became clear that he'd have to pass the same background check as all the other directors. I wonder why that is?

> It's possible he was afraid of what discovery would reveal.

Like... his degrees being dodgy and having been an illegal overstayer in the 90s, which is a documented claim doing the rounds?

He also would have owed fiduciary duties to the TSLA stockholders if he were a director. I think this, and not the D&O questionnaire, was the primary reason he turned down the board seat. No more pumps and dump with TSLA stock or playing fast and loose with SEC filings triggered by stock accumulation.
