    Vote that schmuck out so he can continue spending all his time on his passion project Twitter.

    Tesla needs focus, the cybertruck is a disaster birthed of misguided hubris.

      The vote won’t be revealed until the shareholder meeting or a tantrum is posted in the event it’s not approved, or a smug post if approved.

        It’s going to be a tantrum either way. Even if he gets it, he’s going to have a tantrum and run away with it, leaving everyone else holding the bag. The US is staring down another Trump administration, with Trump threatening to cancel electric cars (not sure how that’s possible, but I’m sure they can fuck things up pretty good too). It’s nothing but storm clouds for Tesla if they give this to him, it’s going to start a slow decline to a bunch of crap.

        Personally, I’m hoping he has a tantrum and leaves. He’s a big part of what Tesla is, no doubt. He deserves a fairly sizeable compensation package, again no problem there. But there’s a god damn limit, and his behaviour as of the last couple years shows there’s something pretty wrong going on in his head and it’s going to drown the whole company if they don’t eliminate the noise. That goes for his crooked little board too. The best scenario is a no, he leaves, the board leaves and the company can begin rebuilding through it’s next stage, with a pretty good product line + get the charging station growth back in the picture.

          There was a time when he was very good for Tesla but I’m convinced there’s a mental illness going around in the extremely wealthy.

          Even pondered writing a screenplay or treatment about it. Back in France they sent the elite to the guillotine, nowadays the proletariat infect them with a virus that causes rampant self destructive paranoia and narcissism.

          I voted against many of the board recommendations to do what’s best for Tesla in my opinion, not for Mr. Musk.

          I don’t bear him any ill will, but there’s something fundamentally wrong with him right now.

          Maybe it has always been there but now it’s magnified like crazy ever since this social media crusade he’s been on. Maybe too much social media causes brain damage?
