So, he's selling one company he owns to another company he owns, and decideding himself how much both companies are worth in the process.
How is this not fraud, to prop up his theoretical net worth so he can get better sweetheart loans like the rest of the billionaire class?

Als Antwort auf Larry Garfield • • •Interesting. It looks like xAI was looking for funding in February, but the valuation wasn’t what they wanted. They did an all-stock deal to acquire X, which also means they acquired all of X’s debt, and the valuation of xAI is now at a level that helps them secure the funding they wanted.
Since X/Twitter is no longer publicly traded, this doesn’t defraud public shareholders, I wouldn’t think. It might be considered fraud for other reasons, though.
