Literally it would be better for Tesla to give those bonuses to some random person on the street than to Musk. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago (1 child) Can you imagine the sales bump from the positive PR if they had given 500 random strangers a million dollars instead of giving it to Elon?

Everything around TSLA is a stunt.
