Exploitative schizoid druggo leaving promising company? That sounds like a win for Tesla.

If all he does is leave, that will be fantastic. More likely he’ll just cripple the company in his rage. That’s the real reason a lot will vote to pay him.

Win win. Don’t waste money and get rid of an egotistical loser at the same time.

mavu ,

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Sam_Bass ,

Let the loser leave. His smug smog smeg pollutes the air out here enough

Lucidlethargy ,

Ditch him along with his stupid truck and maybe the company will be appealing again.

Powerpoint ,

This sounds like the best move for Tesla

DudeImMacGyver ,

Wouldn’t it be better for Tesla if he wasn’t CEO? Hasn’t he repeatedly demonstrated that he’s a shitty leader?

Professorozone ,

Macrotrends.net says Tesla profits over the last year were $16.8B. So is this jack-hole really worth three years worth of profits? Seems like a bad financial decision to me.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Well it worked when he whined and moved Tesla to Texas because he couldn’t get what he wanted. Maybe he’ll leave Tesla now. Problem is a billionaire like him at loose ends could send him into politics.

MehBlah ,

Not born in the US so at least he can only Schwarzenegger it.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

I think that’s bad enough.

MehBlah ,

At least he will have a limited effect. I hope its texas.

He has the money to maybe change that rule. Arnold didn’t.

MehBlah ,

It wasn’t the money that held Arnold back. It was decency.

Sounds to me like shareholders should call his bluff and be rid of him. Maybe then the company won’t be wasting money on boneheaded vehicles like the Cybertruck.

A.I. can have his job.

Elon Musk: “Give me $56B or I quit”

AI CEO: “I’ll do the job for a pizza covered in glue”

Veraxus ,

Warned? Do you promise?

masquenox ,

So that’s what they pay the most irrelevant person in the company?

Perfectly fine and rational economic system we’ve got going here…

Like most CEOs, Musk’s job isn’t really to do things. His job is to weedle tax incentives, private investment, and low interest loans out of his network of rich friends.

He’s been incredibly successful at it. And that’s what makes Tesla valuable as a brand. The US government will pay you a cool $7500 to buy a brand new $80k cybertruck. Meanwhile, Chinese EVs are taxed at 100% of their sticker price.

And let’s not forget politics. When you’re golf buddies with the right politicians, winning those extremely lucrative public tenders will become a cakewalk.

Musk is abso-fucking-lutely NOT responsible for the tax incentives, private investment or low interest loans that Tesla got, he’s only been good as an eccentric personality to convince investors that he’s the best and full self driving will be a thing the following year… For the past 7 years.

He has wormed his way into a number of national economic advisory boards under both Barack Obama and Donald Trump. His close relationship with Peter Thiel and Catherine Duddy Wood has afforded him a number of opportunities to access investor cash at below-market rates. And he’s spent a fortune on lobbyists at both the state and federal level to influence public tax incentives, grants, loans, and bailouts.

he’s only been good as an eccentric personality

The reason he’s in the public eye is thanks to his extensive investment in PR and advertising. He’s one of the original Silicon Valley moneyballers, having determined that a small kickback to the tech media can reap enormous windfalls of retail investment cash and publicly approved state spending.

thiel hates him

Not so much that he doesn’t still invest with him

Shareholders: Please don’t threaten me with a good time!

dynamojoe ,

This shareholder says “Bye!” and I’ll buy more when the market is done panicking over his departure.

While … not after.
