This is akin to Musks fury with people being able to short stocks they don’t own.
Musk selling cars that don’t exist. Shorting his car supply to collect rebates he shouldn’t be allowed to.
IF that's what happened, then I suspect that the legal process will persue any breaches of the law, but I would not at all be surprised if the end result is anything more than a slap on the wrist with a feather.
However, do you realise that this was a satirical article?
As far as I know, the investigation hasn't concluded.
