UJeffrey Epstein uthe uthethile ne-Saudis malunga notyalo mali eTesla kwihlobo ephelileyo.UKaitlyn Flannagan woMqwalaseli Ukusweleka okumangalisayo komntu onezimali u-Jeffrey Epstein kule mpelaveki kubonwe njengesiqabu kuninzi lwabahlobo bakhe abanamandla kuba naziphi na iimfihlo ezingcolileyo ebezazi ngabo zingcwatywa ngonaphakade. Kodwa balibale inye into: ukuba u-Epstein ukhe wavuza nayiphi na kwezi mfihlelo kwiintatheli kwimibandela engekho kwirekhodi kwixa elidlulileyo, ngoku lulwazi loluntu.
Omnye onentatheli onethamsanqa wayenjalo INew York Times 'UJames B. Stewart. Kwikholamu yeveki ipapashwe online ngoMvulo (kushicilelwe ngoLwesibini), uStewart uxele iinkcukacha ezingachazwanga ngaphambili malunga nodliwanondlebe kunye no-Epstein ngo-Agasti 2018 ngokubhekisele kwimicimbi yakhe yeshishini kunye namanani ombane weSilicon Valley, ngakumbi Umphathi weTesla u-Elon Musk .
UStewart wabhala ukuba, ngaphambi kokubhukisha udliwanondlebe, weva amarhe okuba u-Epstein wayecebisa uMusk ngesicwangciso sokuphendula emva kwesikrokro sikaMusk sokuqhushumisa i-tweet malunga nokuthatha uTesla ngasese abuyiselwe ngabanini zabelo kunye ne-SEC. (UMusk uthumele i-tweet ngo-Agasti 7. UStewart wenza udliwanondlebe no-Epstein ngo-Agasti 16.)
UStewart ukwathe uve ukuba u-Epstein wayehlanganisa uluhlu lwabagqatswa ukuba bathathe indawo kaMusk njengosihlalo webhodi kaTesla, eyathi kamva yaba yinxalenye yesivumelwano phantsi kokuhlala kukaTesla ne-SEC.
Ngokwentatheli, u-Epstein uvumile ukubandakanyeka kwakhe noTesla kodwa wakuphepha ukuxoxa ngalo msebenzi, eqiqa ngelithi kwakubonakala esidlangalaleni ukuba ucebisa inkampani, kuya kufuneka ayeke ukwenza oko, kuba 'wayenemitha ye-radio,' ubhale watsho uStewart. . Uqikelele ukuba wonke umntu eTesla uyakuphika ukuba uyathetha naye okanye abe ngumhlobo wakhe.
Ukuba kukho nantoni na, ukuqikelela kuka-Epstein malunga nendlela uTesla anokuthi asabele ngayo kwakunzima. NgoMvulo, isithethi sikaTesla sikhuphe ingxelo kumajelo eendaba, esithiiAyichanekanga ukuthi uEpstein ukhe wacebisa uElon ngayo nantoni na.
UStewart wayenamathandabuzo akhe, ngokubhala, kwabonakala kucacile ukuba uMnu.Epstein wayihombisa indima yakhe kwimeko yeTesla ukukhulisa ukubaluleka kwakhe kunye nokufumana ingqalelo.
Kodwa inye into uEpstein ayithethileyo malunga noTesla kubonakala ngathi iyahambelana nento esiyaziyo ukuba yenzekile ngexesha lokuwa kwe-tweet yabucala kaMusk.
Ngokuka-Stewart, u-Epstein uthe kwintlanganiso yabo ukuba uthethile ne-Saudis malunga nokutyala imali kwi-Tesla, esongeza ukuba i-Saudi Arabia INkosana yeNkosana uMohammed bin Salman wayengumhlobo osenyongweni. (U-Epstein wayenomfanekiso wakhe kunye nenkosana yesithsaba eboniswe kwindlu yakhe eManhattan.)
Ngenxa yokuba isicwangciso sobucala soMusk esicetywayo ngelo xesha sasiza kubiza phantse i-80 yezigidigidi zeedola, i-premium ebalulekileyo ngaphezu kwexabiso lemarike kaTesla, kwakukho abatyali-mali abambalwa kuphela abafanelekileyo ukuba bafune imali. Kwiposti yebhlog yomhla ka-Agasti 13, 2018, uMusk ucebise ukuba ingxowa mali yobukumkani obuzimeleyo yase-Saudi Arabia, iNgxowa-mali yoTyalo-mali kaRhulumente (i-PIF), inokuba ngumthengi onokubakho.
UKUYA IBloomberg ingxelo kusuku olungaphambi kokuba kuthiwe i-PIF ibikwintetho noTesla malunga nesivumelwano.
Akuzange kube yinto ebonakalayo, njengoko siyazi ngoku, kunye noMusk ekugqibeleni bathatha isigqibo sokudlulela ngaphaya kweso sicwangciso esibuhlungu kunye nokugcina iTesla esidlangalaleni.
