This is not true. They have been quite clear that Mahmoud Khalil has not been accused of a crime.

Okay, but why doesn't he go on these five to seven day trips with his family?

I doubt it was shipped from the factory with CrowdStrike, and if they had enough access to install it, they have enough access to fix it.

Elon left the board because they wouldn't let him be the CEO. That's it.
