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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

Couldn’t we just buy him a pizza lunch?

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

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.

Will it be bulletproof?

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The horn ~~could~~ better say "Groot!" ~~and I would still~~ or I won't buy it.
