That's not enough. As long as Musk owns even one share of Tesla, he makes money each time a Tesla car sells, and a lot of people including I can't stomach that.
I might consider purchasing a Tesla vehicle if I knew Musk doesn't get any of my money. As long as he gets even one cent of my money, I'll buy some other brand.
The whole board and major investors condoned this. Fuck the whole brand. Now and forever. They don't need to be redeemed if they do the right thing, we'll be fine without them. The smart people that actually make things happen will go work for better companies.

Weird way to say fuck off to Mars.
He hasn't shot any migrants from his window in the morning. Maybe shoot migrants from your window? I don't known, that's the part I remember most about Schindler's list.
That could boost sales right?
Elon was never the guy who made Tesla work. He's just a rich guy who bought it and then had to be insulated from running it because his ideas suck.

Goodbye, Tesla, and good riddance. Some salutes will never be forgotten.
It's all fun and games until your billion dollar company gets taken down.
Become a Nazi lose your company. You have been warned.
I'm afraid we need a good ryme, or a 3 word chant in order for it to actually resonate... anyone got a go woke go broke equivelant for nazi's or white supremacists.
Go nazi go kamikaze?
There is one very easy way to save Telsa. Musk needs leave and divest. The company can’t have anything to do with him anymore.
Well that's guaranteed bankruptcy.
He owns 20% of an extremely overvalued meme stock (market capitalization of Tesla = almost all top 10 car manufacturers COMBINED), if he dumps them, then everyone will get margin called
And any other CEO would not be able to pump the meme stock telling the "self driving in 6 month" lie for years and years without being indicted for stock manipulation
without being indicted for stock manipulation
The SEC is dead and he has presidential pocket pardons.
Couldn't a SPAC buy it out if/once he "comes to Jesus" and steps down as CEO and divests?
Essentially a reformation of the publicly traded company? Granted, these are just my own "pie in the sky" musings.
Ultimately, I think it's logically consistent to want to have Tesla do well as a company, but also still be against Elon Musk in everything he stands for. Personally, I would also discontinue the cyber truck and refocus towards producing an affordable and reliable EV starting at less than $30K. I don't think any of this is going to happen, mind you.
Let's put that briefcase back in his hand so he can be left holding it when Tesla's stock tanks
I did nazi that one coming...
🙄👏
c/angryupvote material right here
Bet he regrets stopping people from burning down Tesla stores now cause he was claiming insurance for those.
Maybe you could just make like a tree and leave?
I’m sure Tesla gets an exemption from those battery cell tariffs.
How much that affects product price and influences consumers and the stock price is another question.
Bezos car company is a lot more practical. I just wish it wasn’t bezos.
He also threw a bunch of money into Rivian. He’s basically investing in companies that can make a a delivery truck that is cheaper to run and maintain.
That makes sense.
I'm really interested in Aptera if they can get it to production. It's probably more of a nitche vehicle, but I could see it fitting the needs of a lot of people.
They're so close 😭 I've been watching every update video they've posted, I can't wait
Also, it's niche*
I prefer a nitche vehicle. More pragmatic.
If the apterra comes to Australia with what I heard it's price to be ages ago (25k USD) I might just sell my sports car for it.
He's and the board are going to sell sell sell. It's done.
Maybe if that $56bn bonus goes through he’ll think of something. Heh.
He bought it. He can save it by selling it and all the stock he has in it. The faster he fades into obscurity the better off humanity will be.
Unfortunately, his narcissism won't stand for him fading into obscurity :(
He's gonna sell Teslas... ON MARS! Definitely start in 5 years. Space-X will launch them!
If he were to divest/step down people would stop hating the company.
The board has condoned both him and his antics, and you'll never be able to trust a replacement board. The company is irredeemable.
His shareholders must be all over him.
