Musk proves his genius once again.
1. Announce on Twitter deal to send company private at stock price well above current trade.
2. Stock price rockets higher on news, crushes shorts into oblivion.
3. Claims Twitter account got "hacked".
4. No one can prove whether Twitter account was hacked or not.
Who needs fraudulent accounting with all that messy, inconvenient paper trail to boost the stock price. Wait until the Enron guys hear about this, they will be wishing they had Twitter back in the day.
