that really stuck out to me was that he had put together a spreadsheet with all the executive departures of the last two years. And he compared the company to Enron. And of course, Jim Chano's famously shorted Enron in early 2000s. For him, he talks about what he calls the dark turn, which was the acquisition of Solar City by Tesla in 2016, I believe. Where does that sort of sit in your view in terms of the trajectory of this company? Was that really a fateful turn? Was it more something that illuminated what was already company practice, sort of practice by Elon Musk, or did it really embolden him to begin to act in a way that breaks perhaps with sort of his fiduciary duty? So I think that a lot of the problems we are seeing today with the current stock price slide and Tesla's signature bond issue trading in the mid-80s on the dollar well below par sign of significant financial stress, I would say that Solar City acquisition is a huge part of that. The stock market, of course, loved (9/45)
