in theory, in practice you just need to be convincing enough to get greedier/dumber people to pay for your shit in the gamble they might get more in return later. (they like to call themselves "investors", but most are just degenerate gamblers) and then cover your own ass if/when the house of cards tumbles.

building and popping bubbles, and fleecing as many people as possible throughout the whole thing, is what the US ~~financial markets~~ casino is literally designed to facilitate

considering Musk's lockup period is the last (and largest) to end, my $ would be on it pumping before then

it's 100% legal for them to just buy all the data they want, which is what they do anyway. it's taxpayer $ anyway, so why should they care.

this ruling just says they can't forcibly acquire that data, nothing about not buying it
