    Linus recommended the red dragon in his "cheap mech keyboards under 45", and I have the TKL Aukey one that I genuinely believe could be used as a blunt instrument, at 25USD.

    Probably the same people that think Razer keyboards are higher quality because they cost more.

    Link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/02/26/sec-asks-judge-hold-teslas-elon-musk-contempt-saying-he-violated-settlement-deal/?utm_term=.283f1e48b26c
     
    Background: Last year, Elon Musk tweeted out that his auto manufacturer Tesla was willing and able to go private by buying back stock at $420 a share, while Tesla was actually not able to do so. This artificially inflated Tesla's stock price, and the SEC sued him and Tesla for fraud. A settlement was agreed upon in which neither Musk nor Tesla would admit fault, nor would they remove Musk as CEO of the company. However, they would remove him as chairman of the board (the group that can choose who the CEO is), and they would have to pay $20 million. They would also be legally required to hire a lawyer to proofread all of Musk's tweets going forward to make sure that he doesn't commit fraud again.
     
    Now: Last Tuesday, Elon Musk tweeted out his production projections for Tesla: That they will make around 500k in 2019. Four and a half hours later, he tweeted a correction, stating that the 500k would actually be their annual production rate by the *end* of 2019, not that they would make 500k in 2019. Without the recent events surrounding this, this would not be a serious issue, as the correction was made quick enough to probably not cause financial damage to anyone. However, this could be considered evidence that they were not following their settlement agreement to proofread Musk's tweets.
     
    And it turns out that the SEC agrees. Today, the SEC asked a federal judge to hold Musk in contempt of court for violating his settlement agreement. In short, if he breached his agreement with the SEC, then he could face even greater fines than the $20 million he already paid, or even jail time. The general idea is that Musk agreed under penalty of law to hire a lawyer to proofread his tweets before they went out, and he broke that agreement. What's more, Tesla seems to be admitting to this fact. The SEC asked Tesla whether that first tweet had been preapproved, and Tesla replied stating that, no, it was not, and the lawyer saw the tweet after it was put up without their knowledge. The lawyer then prompted Musk to tweet the correction.
     
    [Author's note: Again, before anyone starts attacking me over this, the takeaway is that Musk broke his legally binding agreement, not that he slipped up.]
