Then why are they wanting to pay him 1 trillion dollars? Rich people are weird.

Because Musk is asking for it, and the Tesla board who are all his hand picked friends, are the ones that vote on it.

He put two LED light bars on the old Model Y and came up with a cheap Model Y that covers the existing glass roof in headliner fabric.

How is that not innovation?

Tesla has to hit 10Trillion to get that pay out. It will not.

I thought they were setting him up for a graceful exit when they could not agree on a ridiculous pay package

Musk has kompromats on board of directors and shareholders.

and triple the value of your stock! Take THAT!

profit drop?? TSLA now at $460. The worse they do by any economic measure, the better the stock does.

I was thinking the trillion dollar package was a way to fire musk while letting him save some face

Elon's Brain: If I buy twitter, surely I can influence public opinion

Public Opinion: Whoa this guy is a real piece of shit

I remember all those news articles "Was this a Nazi salute? Can we be sure?" lmao

There Mr. Musk predicts market caps of his competitors.

That's why a lot of people admired him until early 2010s. Hell, I have a photo from 2014 pride parade with a rainbow model S being centre of attention.

Luckily for us, shutting up is a rare skill for such assholes.

And not even just that. Also his bullshit acting like he was the president, speaking for the president, and his dodge bullshit.

Fuck that guy, he's a real piece of work on all areas.

The richest man in the world is the main shareholder. You can thank our government for giving him massive tax payer subsidies instead of investing in multiple American run businesses. I’ve noticed our government likes to give all of our tax dollars to South African apartheid Nazis who are now looting our government and stripping our freedoms because they think they haven’t gotten enough.

It's the "piece of shit human being is rejected by sane people effect" and has been a thing since the dawn of civilization.

Just say it as it is.

Ivet said ot a few times in.a thread on.a local Australian forum about buying Tesla's and.the post just gets deleted.

Australian's are atill buying heaps of them and we only get 2 models, the 3 and Y.

These guys actually made me realize satellite grids are not a good idea, they're in places they're not supposed to be and use lights that weren't authorized, meaning about 1/3 of ground-based telescope exposures are being ruined right now. Negative externalities abound.

I feel the exact same way about Thiel and "Things Named After Lord of the Rings."

It's so endlessly infuriating watching billionaires actively turn things we care about against us.

Because they're fucking Nazis and need to face their existence with a fist

The fact that he was still given a position in the White House after he explicitly outed himself as a Nazi is really telling.

For a while, I saw them all over the fucking place, probably 50 on my commute.

These days I see 2-3 and very rarely see the trucks. I wonder where they all are now. I seeing 10 of the trucks per day. Now, maybe one.

Honestly surprised it is so low.

And yet Tesla sales are increasing once more 🤷‍♂️ People are stupid, don't care or both.

I saw one a week or two ago with several bumper stickers apologizing for Musk and literally explaining that they got the car before we knew.

As a consequence, he's the richest person in the world and Tesla is a 1.5 Trillion dollar company. It has TEN times the P/E of companies like apple, microsoft, and google. More than 5x Nvidia, even.

Why do we live in a world that rewards the worst shit? I mean even Trump is a real billionaire now.

It could be a happy thought, that most people aren't part of the terminally online meme culture. That they have real concerns instead of bullshit imagined ones.

He doesn’t care

Ohh but he does, he has a terribly thin skin. He'll never hurt for money, but he's deperate to make his mark on the work that isn't branded an utter failure.
