I also thought this would be the problem if Musk bought the company. Constant sabotage by the employees. Seems rather unlikely he could thoroughly vet both existing and new employees.
The rot is very deep
In the midst of all this ‘sell’ chatter...with the talk of the past two days, I’d say the odds of this sale concluding probably sinks to 25-percent chance. If they admit more than 10-percent of the accounts are fake (looking more and more like 20-percent), then admitting this will invoke the SEC and dire consequences (particularly since the SEC can’t invent a fake exit now for the company).
I think the $54.20 offer per share....is pretty much lost, and the stock price in four weeks will be around $20, with Elon unwilling to buy such a loser company. The damage....will have been done and they deserved all of the mess.
The solution: get his own people in place. Move the HQ out of San Francisco - that will cause a lot of the commies to quit. Fire the ones remaining.
