Yes, they are, as you can most easily see because Musk getting "punished" didn't stop him from continuing to break securities law on Twitter.

The punishments are smaller than the benefits.

I'm not saying Robinhood was breaking the law or lying here though.

At any rate, hostile questions on cable TV are not official sworn statements under Sarvanes-Oxley or court hearings. It's unfair and inappropriate to hold someone to a standard of perfection in live hostile questioning on TV.
