Other examples of sketchy things Elon has done are his "FSD" technology claims being false (was under investigation for this I believe but the DOJ will probably drop that now), engaging in stock manipulation and making no secret about it ("Funding Secured"), the 2019 robotaxi event where he said they'd be on the streets in 12 months (still waiting), the recent Optimus robot event where the robots were supposedly AI but were actually controlled by humans with remotes backstage, taking deposits 10 years ago for roadsters that were never made, inflating Tesla range estimates, falsified displays and corporate orders to talk owners out of bringing vehicles in for corrective service, highly questionable government contracts... there are so many examples that are arguably unadulterated fraud. 

Their most common threat is a security deposit dispute.

Screening tenants well and then a security deposit or credit card hold process in place will limit liability.

I'm absolutely not interested in leasing fast at all and I'm extremely picky about tenants and I do things like require a large security deposit (even for section 8 renters, I have three of them and love them), don't supply appliances, take my time doing background checks and arranging multiple calls/meetings with potential tenants. 

That's more like a typical security deposit to rent an apartment, lol. 

They were accepting deposits to their accounts just weeks prior to announcing conversion to equity. 

For example, I often see Buyers purchase property thinking there is a $1,000 deposit but then the tenant claims it was $2,000 because they paid the last month's rent.

Don't be surprised if the insurance company has the family provide the security deposit.

A larger refundable deposit? 

Also the Voucher doesn't cover the security deposit which in most cases, I have to put my S8 tenants on a security deposit payment plan for those to get them qualified to move-in on my applications.
