This basically implies that Musk's "funding secured" tweet was a lie. He's going to get roasted by the SEC.

Not necessarily. He could have secured less than optimal funding (e.g. a single source) and bought himself the opportunity to find ideal candidates now.

Bullshit. He said funding was a done deal and it was just a matter of a shareholder vote, which to me is blatant fraud

Musk sold a stake to the Saudis. Given his previous rhetoric bashing oil and its proponents, this is very hypocritical.

Total BS. Musk didn't sell anything to the Saudis. Tesla is a public company and the Saudis bought it on the open market.
Saudis actually specifically talked to Tesla about buying new shares but Tesla refused.

The Saudis are well aware that oil isn't going to last forever, and are diversifying their investments.
