>> GUY LIVES CHARMED LIFE AS CEO
OF TESLA THAT'S A FACT.
HILLARY THANK YOU VERY MUCH
INDEED.
NOW I WANT TO BRING IN FORMER
FEC ATTORNEY THERESA GOODIE BEEN
ON THIS PROGRAM THERESA, WELCOME
BACK.
>> GOOD TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN,
STUART.
MUSK.
MAKE YOUR CASE, PLEASE.
>> I THINK IT SURELY IS.
BECAUSE THE FE KRRGS AND DOJ
OFTEN WORK TOGETHER IN THESE
KIENGDZ OF INVESTIGATIONS.
AND A LOT OF THIS FEC
INVESTIGATIONS DO TURN INTO
PARALLEL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
BECAUSE A VIOLATION OF THE
SECURITY LAWS IF IT IS DONE
WILLFULLY IS A CRIMINAL
VIOLATION SO YOU DON'T NEED THE
EVIL INTENT THAT YOU OFTEN TIMES
THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING
VIOLATION OF THE SECURITY LAWS.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MUFNG, WHAT
HAPPENS TO TESLA?
>> WELL THE PENALTIES FOR THAT
SO THE --
STUART: BUT THAT WOULD DESTROY
THE THE CEO OF THE COMPANY, YOU
DID IT AND COMPANY DID IT,
THAT'S THE END OF YOUR TERM AS
CEO, IS THAT PRETTY MUCH RIGHT?
>> I WOULD THINK SO ABOUT AND IN
ADDITION TO THAT IF A CRIMINAL
CASE LIKE THAT IS BROUGHT, I
WOULD EXPECT THE FEC TO BRING AN
OFFICER DIRECTOR BARRING HIM
FROMMING BEING AN OFFICE
DIRECTOR OF A PUBLIC COMPANY.
STUART: IF IT IS SUCH A STRONG
CASE SUCH A DIRE SITUATION, I
KNOW YOU'RE NOT A STOCK
ANALYSIS, BUT CAN YOU EXPLAIN
WHY THIS STOCK IS UP THIS
MORNING AND FILL IT TO 289
DOLLARS SNARE >> WELL IT IS A
PRELIMINARY PROBE SO IN EARLY
STAGES IF THIS GOES ON TO --
YOU KNOW A GRAND JURY OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THEN I MIGHT SEE MORE --
MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE MORE OF A
STOCK DECLINE.
BUT AS YOU SAID I'M NOT A STOCK
MALS.
BUT LOOKING AT THIS, THIS IS A
BAD SIGN.
[LAUGHTER]
STUART: HOW LONG IS THIS GOING
THAT CRIMINAL PROBES GENERALLY
DO GO FASTER THAN THE CIVIL
PROBES.
BUT THIS IS STARTING A LITTLE
BIT SOONER THAN I WOULD HAVE
THOUGHT.
BECAUSE OFTEN TOMBS THE FEC WILL
DO MUCH MORE OF THEIR INITIAL
INVESTIGATION AND THEY GIVE MS
CASE AFTERWARDS AND THEY DO
THEIR INVESTIGATION AFTERWARDS
SO THEY'RE STARTING OUT OF THE
GATE WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT
IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE FEC
HAS FOUND A REASONABLE BASIS FOR
THERE TO BE CRIMINAL
VIOLATIONINGS AND HANDED THAT
OVER TO THE DOJ AND THAT'S WHY
THIS IS GOING FORWARD.
>> OKAY SO WE'RE GOING TO BE
HEARING ABOUT ABOUT THIS FOR
SOME TIME TO COME.
WE WILL BE TALKING IT BE RIGHT
