Even £1 million would motivate me to never go back to work

What a shit show. Musk is cozying up to Trump - who has said he’d make Musk one of his top advisors and that he would ban EVs.

SeaJ OP ,

Musk was already on Trump’s failed economic council. It makes sense from Musk’s standpoint: do what you can to persuade the motion trying to kill your business.

But yes, Musk and Tesla in general are a shit show.

Too many folks here thinking they can appeal to the board with logic and reason…

Tesla Board Chairperson Robyn Denholm urged shareholders to re-approve CEO Elon Musk’s $46 billion pay package this week, saying the vote is “not about the money” while suggesting that Musk could leave Tesla or devote less time to the company if he isn’t properly compensated. “This is obviously not about the money. We all know Elon is one of the wealthiest people on the planet, and he would remain so even if Tesla were to renege on the commitment we made in 2018,” Denholm wrote in a June 5 letter to shareholders. Musk’s pay plan was nullified by a Delaware Court of Chancery ruling in January 2024 after a lawsuit filed by a shareholder. The ruling said that Denholm had a “lackadaisical approach to her oversight obligations” and “derived the vast majority of her wealth from her compensation as a Tesla director.” It also said most board members “were beholden to Musk or had compromising conflicts,” and that the proxy information given to shareholders before the 2018 vote was “materially deficient.”

Rubber stamp, just looking for the right cover to allow them to do the wrong things.

Yeah greed is a serious motivator innit? Plain as day his only goal in everything he does.

SeaJ OP ,

The chairperson claims it is not about the money…yet it’s a monetary compensation.

Sam_Bass ,

Then the chairperson is an idiot or a liar. Or both ;)

SeaJ OP ,

Option number three it is.

Nobody wants to work any more

I’ll do it for 45 billion.

NegativeInf ,

I’ll do it for 1 billion and would do a better job than musk rat.

Couldn’t we just buy him a pizza lunch?

Wogi ,

He’s gotta share and the manager is buying it out of pocket so they’re gonna cut some little Caesars slices in half.

Fedizen ,

Tesla I’ll be motivated for 4.6 billion dollars. Hire me instead, save 40 billion dollars. I’ll even replace the cybertruck with the “grootwagon”, a wooden paneled stationwagon that floats on water (preventing pond drowning situations). Without gasoline wood exteriors on electric cars will work just fine.

modifier ,

Do you have a roadmap?

Fedizen ,

sure

Good enough!

If groot wagon is an amphibious boat, I would totally buy it, no matter how ugly. The horn could say “Groot!” and I would still buy it.

The horn could better say “Groot!” and I would still or I won’t buy it.

Stay motivated to what? Being a gigantic fucking douche?

Motivated to do what? Fuck up the company some more?

For a billion dollars I have a guaranteed plan to reduce operating expenses by 45 billion. Board of telsa feel free to hit up my DMs

BleatingZombie ,

This guy seems motivated. I’d hire them Tesla

AngryCommieKender ,

I’ll do it for half of that, and I’m pretty sure I have the same plan as the more expensive guy.

Simulation6 ,

I stopped considering a Tesla because of him. His leaving would have to help sales a bit.

CraigeryTheKid , (edited )

Honestly I wish he would ‘leave’ SpaceX too.

I caught his livestream for the latest Starship launch, and he literally introduced the event with a 10-minute speech on “saving your life” by buying crypto, and how they would match your crypto if you used his link or something. WTF was all that, and WTF did that have to do with SpaceX. --So that was a scam/fake video, but my top comment is still how I feel!

towerful ,

Pump&Dump?
Musk bought into some shitcoin that crashed before he made profit, so even if he gives half away, the slight boost on price will let him dump the rest for less losses… Maybe?

nialv7 ,

You are the victim of YouTube scam channels pretending to be SpaceX…

SpaceX no longer streams on YouTube anymore, so anything you see will be fake.

It’s also disappointing YouTube is so bad at catching these. During IFT4 that was literally the most watched stream, had more viewers than Everyday Astronaut for example.

CraigeryTheKid , (edited )

EDIT: holy shit - I tried googling it since i thought I was taking crazy pills, and it says that was an AI-video that dubbed over elon?!

I consider myself pretty keen on scam stuff (well… I didn’t buy any crypto so I guess I’m still good here) but man when I saw it I just shook my head an ignored it. I didn’t realize it was fake.

wow.

also, to be fair, he has been a proponent of crypto in the past.

CaptPretentious , (edited )

I was interested in Tesla when it was first getting big. But lost interest fast due to him. I would say you couldn’t pay me to own one, but if there’s 46 billion just burning a hole in someone pocket, well fuck, for a billion dollars I’ll be interested and for 2 billion I’ll own it.

BakerBagel ,

The problem is that Tesla is essentially just a pump and dump masquerading as a car company. Their market cap is simply absurd and based on nothing other than Musk’s personality cult. If Musk leaves the company gor whatever reason, the stock will crash and the company will go bankrupt. They have an obscene amount of debt that is backed by Tesla stock, so once thier stock falls below a certain price, all thos loans will demand their loneu back

Wogi ,

I’m willing to bet the payday is so he can get his money without selling the stock. If the stock is artificially inflated the balloon will pop eventually. He’s at least smart enough to know that.

SeaJ OP ,

Same. I bought stock in it when it IPO’d because he made a good road map that his engineers could get to and they made great use of government funding. He largely just seemed like an awkward nerd. The Thai cave rescue was the instance where I thought there was something seriously wrong with the dude. He decided to have a sub built even though nobody asked him to and the thing did not fit. Then he called one of the rescuers a pedophile. And not just as an odd insult; he doubled down on the claim. Since then it just seems he has been continually seeking attention.

As for the company, their poor quality control was understandable 10 years ago but it’s still pretty fucking bad and I honestly think he is a big part of that. I recall watching a documentary a long time ago where the producer was talking to Musk about some of the challenges of making the Roadster. They were in a warehouse that had a couple dozen that had been inspected. Musk looked at the notes on one and it had a pretty major issue that would likely pop up but he was going to ship it anyway. The producer looked at it and noticed that they were looking at the car that would be going to him. Musk very awkwardly backpedaled. It sends that willingness to overlook major flaws has not left.
