I’m not saying that what Soros did was legal or ethical, but it seems to be the same economic mechanism as what Musk did. Sell lots to lower the costs of the shares and then use the money made to buy them back and more.
The price he is buying them at has NOTHING to do with thr current price, its an option he was given in compensation package. Is that so hard to understand?
No, it isn’t.
Musk is buying shares at a discount as part of his compensation package.
Stop acting as if you don’t understand this.
If you actually believe that what soros did and musk did are "the same economic mechanism" you better stay out of any financial market without adult supervision.
The two acts couldn't be further apart, shorting a stock to drive the price down and selling stock {that you own, from a company that you founded} to cover a tax debt, are not even close, let alone, "the same economic mechanism" whatever the hell that means.
Lucy, you got some splain'en to do.
I am not a financial wizard but you have no idea how options as part of financial compensation works. Go study some.
