“Musk did not ask investors for approval but told them that the two companies had been collaborating closely and the integration would drive deeper integration with Grok.”

Unlike the shareholders of a company being acquired, the shareholders of an acquiring company do not need to be asked prior to the company making an acquisition.

can you cite your source? What leverage did Elon give the investors when he sold them shares?

No source, just speculation. I think my main point is that these aren’t regular people that we need to feel sorry for or rise up in arms to defend.

You can be against fraud in general without feeling sympathy for the particular victims. I know I am.

Why assume fraud?

Usually a safe assumption with Musk. I believe his kind call it "pattern recognition."
