That'll hurt him. It shouldn't directly hurt SpaceX, but the DoD were allegedly considering looking into his drug use (because of his required security clearance), and I wouldn't be surprised if this sort of behaviour- if proved - would also give them pause.
Elon, you idiot. There is so much to admire about you, but there's you douchebag side as well.
The share price has rebounded and is way past that bit of news though, there's no lasting impact. Is the SEC certain to win ?
Not certain. But the case seems strong factually. My biggest question is what the relevant laws say, & I am relatively clueless about UK law, yet alone US law.
Hmm personally I hope Vernon wins his case against Musk, but I can't get behind the SEC. THIS action itself is having more effect on the share price than Musk's tweet would have. Can a man not 'consider' anything any more ? Are adverbs not allowed on twitter ? You can smell the vested hedge shorters from here.
"Funding secured" isn't an adverb. Isn't that the words objected to more than the consider remark?

Barred from being a director for an off tweet ? Bit out of proportion to be honest..
I thought I may be corrected and yes he is a national joke and I am a consevative member who sees rght through him. Indeed my wife has just joined so that we can both vote against him for leadership and Corbyn in a GE

After that summit, it’s clear EU will leave gloves off as they fight us for jobs and business following no deal exit, I always felt being in blocked their desire to maul The City, that brings so much into the coffers of the British government, paying for our State spending.
But another way they can be super aggressive is using trade deflection. Genuine honest question to all Brexiteers here, once we are out the customers union, what is the plan to protect British industry, businesses and jobs from trade deflection?

His Twitter feed is listed as an official news source for the company. If "funding secured" was dishonest then that's fraud not an off tweet.
Had he not said those words, then I'd agree it vague and off.
Do you think even the Telegraph might tire of Boris polluting the paper saying the same thing every week, and might just give him his own dedicated supplement instead?
Is the content different or do they simply reprint the same text each time with a different headline on top? It would be easy journalism...

He was having a campaign against short sellers. Many of those faced losing millions due to that tseet. Musk was manipulating the market, & if he lied it seems fraudulent.

Vernon had no chance winning his case in America. The libel definitions are incredibly hard to hit. Only one of Musk's statements even comes close.
Because that's not how it was interpreted at the time. It's not what was written either. The agreement explicitly says the UK not Northern Ireland and expression 50 of that agreement affirms that NI won't vary from GB without NI's approval.

Anyway hope Kavanaugh is confirmed tommorow, will be a good day for SCOTUS.
In what conceivable way ?
Well when I read the twitter of the third accusers attorney it's all Trump this, Trump that. I think the anti Kavanaugh campaign is hellaciously politically motivated.

So what are they requesting these allegation actually be investigated, rather than batted around a Senate Committee room ? Precisely two individuals have been questioned in nothing that approaches a forensic environment.
I,would think it fairly clear that Ford has established at the very least a reasonable suspicion against Kavanaugh. The rush to confirm him to a lifetime appointment without any further investigation is what seems hellaciously polotical to me.
I remember him in the eighties as though it were yesterday. He was actually a superb communicator. If you didn’t know his politics you wouldn’t guess it. He could sell anything to you, and mug anyone in debate. Robert Lindsey’s character in GBH was modelled on him.
Unfortunately, for the coming revolution as McClusk calls it, in terms of politics, Hatton sold out and became capitalist scum, bragging on TV about how he grew up and disowned his past self.
Would have been great to have the old Hatton back in politics today, it’s just not anarchic or colourful enough at the moment.

I seem to dimly recall in GBH it does not end well...
Watching the Kavanaugh hearing - it's grubby. Looks like the Republican committee members are teasing out that their Democratic counterparts have setup an ambush and that the calls for an FBI investigation are a smokescreen. I don't see how that will do anything other than reinforce the Republican desire to confirm.
So that's the Guardian journos off to the gulag with the Mail and Sun...
As per the history of the Soviet Union, this script ends with Williamson being carted off to the Gulag, with no idea why he has been denounced and by whom?
They did fight. And they lost. Now they have decided, presumably, either the Corbyn project is ok after all, or that it isn't ok but there's no point damaging the Labour brand further by leaving or splitting (ie, that the project is actually ok even if it is not ideal). Which is fine if that is their choice, it's hard after all, so long as they don't cry crocodile tears next time the project leads to places they don't like.
“There has been a collective failure of government, and a collapse of will by the British establishment, to deliver on the mandate of the people," says Mr Johnson.
An excellent article by Boris. No surprise the Remain crowd have responded with their usual mixture of insults and slurs (no analysis, mind you) - because Boris is pointing out quite forensically how May has gotten herself into a dreadful negotiating position. It is her fault and nobody elses.
As I have been saying for months the only way forward is to withdraw the backstop offer. It was May's mistake and she now has to fix it. By focussing on the backstop, Boris and the ERG are perfectly on target. Great to see him come out and say it,
Boris' approach is the only one that can lead to a deal. It is now dawning on the majority of the cabinet that this is correct. The biggest risk of no deal is Theresa May. And the reason there will be no second referendum is because at the end of the day, it is Remainers who are going to lead us to no deal.

Honestly, I think they either have no idea how bad and warped and insane this project is going to get and have therefore presumably never troubled themselves with a history book, or they don't care.
The answer is that because politics is the art of the possible, and as such considered that at that point it was better to stay in the Cabinet and fight his corner, as did David Davis, however much he disagreed with the PM's approach. That is the approach that Cabinet ministers generally take when they disagree with the PM of the day. I think he resigned at the right point, essentially when May had crossed the Rubicon of Chequers and the point of no return had been reached.

SPOILER ALERT (if it is to be rerun)
Who if I recall is finally exposed as performing the roll of a useful idiot, having been played by MI5 as a tool to make the Labour Party unelectable.
Could be a small Tory majority on those figures which would help Canada deal backers
The poll indicates improved public approval for Chequers
Given the EU have rejected Chequers that is irrelevant and even now Canada is still far preferred by the public to Chequers
Canada is dead - it died in the last 24 hours
Canada is not dead, just the EU will only apply it to GB which is unacceptable to the DUP
What died was the prospect of May reverting to a Canada-style negotiating position. Yet with a majority of the Cabinet now reported as being in favour of the option she is rejecting, what is far from dead is the prospect of the decision being taken out of her hands.
A no confidence vote by November is a possibility
What makes you think so, HYUFD ? My assumption has been the tory terror of an election.
On current polls the Tories should have no terror of am early general election, better to seek a Canada deal and maybe fall short but remain largest party and leave Corbyn to navigate Brexit than stay in power with No Deal
I disagree totally and find that view as a conservative member insane
Canada is what polls show most Tory members and voters want but it cannot be delivered while the DUP holds the balance of power.
Members yes - voters no - and Amber Rudd with the DUP collapsed it today
No, a Canada Deal is also the most popular choice with voters as a whole
Up against Remain in binary ref 2 Canada gets slaughtered. So maybe not THE most popular choice in Britain today.
All very silent in brexit and politics today. Just before the roaring wave comes in and everything disappears, is this the bit the sea disappears, and it goes eerily quiet?
No it doesn't, Canada has a higher net approval rating than Remain

Uxbridge is Labour's 83rd target seat, Johnson could hold Uxbridge even if Corbyn won a majority
There is the negative personal vote to consider!
Uxbridge is in Hillingdon which voted 56% Leave, Boris did better than the London average Tory voteshare in 2017, he has more of a positive vote than a negative and in fact increased the Tory voteshare in the seat in both 2015 and 2017

Unless there are local factors this is a massive warning alarm to Labour.
Quick description of the area for the uninitiated?
Maybe I am out of touch, but iirc it is a solid working class, post-war expansion of nottingham, complete with masses of council housing and tower blocks.
I think the local uni has expanded their campus out there, which should actually make it even more Labour these days.

From a technical perspective, the two aren't contradictory. It's perfectly possible that Canada has higher net favourables than Remain, but that Remain wins in a forced choice run off.
