  1. Ridiculous

    #ElonMusk settles #SEC lawsuit over #Twitter disclosures, $1.5 million fine imposed

    #Musk settled the SEC's civil lawsuit accusing the world's richest person of waiting too long in 2022 to disclose his initial ‌purchases of Twitter, now known as #X.

    A trust in Musk's name will pay a $1.5 million civil penalty, WITHOUT admitting #wrongdoing.

    Musk won't have to give up ANY money he allegedly saved from the delay.

  5. A quotation from Shakespeare

    PROSPERO: Though with their high wrongs I am struck to th’ quick,
       Yet with my nobler reason ’gainst my fury
       Do I take part. The rarer action is
       In virtue than in vengeance.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Tempest, Act 5, sc. 1, l. 32ff (5.1.32-36) (1611)
