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.

Veraxus ,

Warned? Do you promise?

dynamojoe ,

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

xenoclast ,

While … not after.

fadhl3y ,

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

Paragone ,

At least he’s open about extortion, & using his leverage in any company he owns only as a means of gouging all for his personal-wealth…

A kind of honesty, eh?

some_guy ,

Please let him go.

Toneswirly ,

Lol Im sure some of the Shareholders would be glad to see him move on, given his recent self-destructive behavior. He fired his most successful department at Tesla for…no reason?

ohlaph ,

He should leave.

phoenixz ,

Pay me a bonus that is multiple times the profit that the company has ever made, or i will stop sabotaging said company!

Eeeeh, no?

The reason he’s able to make this ask and not immediately be laughed out of the room is that Tesla’s value is massively inflated based largely on the personality cult surrounding Musk himself. If Tesla starts being valued as a car company rather than a speculative tech company with a “genius” leader at the help (quotes doing a lot of work there) , the stock price will be a fraction of what it is now.

That’s what shareholders stand to lose, and it’s why Musk has any leverage to make this ridiculous ask in the first place.

All I’m learning from the last 10 years between musk and that orange fuck among others is that starting a cult is really the way to go…

You end up with tons of money, those that could enforce repercussions are held hostage, and you get worshipers.

quicklime ,

Along the same lines, let’s not forget L. Ron Hubbard, who founded Scientology some years after telling a sci-fi writers’ convention that starting an actual cult would be a great way to make far more money off science fiction than just by writing it.

He’s gotta pay back the Saudis for Twitter or else he’ll be Khashoggi’d, so I imagine he’s quite desperate to be asking this in the first place. I wonder how many people invested in Tesla as a way to raise funds for him personally, eg millionaire friends propping up the stock for him as a favor.

nova_ad_vitum ,

The Saudis assassinating an American billionaire with such a high profile is simply not a serious possibility.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

Warned? Weird way to spell “exclaimed”.

Tilgare ,

Maybe for the rest of us, but his sycophant making this plea to the board thinks he’s invaluable and they must keep him around. That’s an awful lot of money to make working a part time job.

Jumpingspiderman ,

Man, Tesla and the shareholders should take this opportunity to tell Phony Starck to not the the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. Tesla would be so much better off without this spoiled nepobaby.

Please don’t throw me in the briar patch!

Zink ,

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

(Not a Tesla shareholder tho)

bwf93 ,

Oh no!
