The board needs to remove Elon today.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

the board are his handpicked toadies that have him a bonus despite tesla losing money

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

yep. I don't get why they haven't. He's tanking their shit badly.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

They just paid fucking 60 billion dollars to him to keep him from quitting. Maybe a smidge of sunk cost fallacy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Good. Let them drown with their sinking ship. They enabled his power grab in the first place and decided something as perverted and absurd as granting a single man $60 billion. Let this be a lesson in history books.

Did that actually get paid out? Last I heard the judge said no, multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

Yep. There was another shareholder vote and he won it.

Sigh. Fuck Elon. I hope the piece of shit goes bankrupt. Probably wont happen though :/

If trump had lost the election, he would be in jail and Elon would have been destroyed. Instead, we got… this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 37 minutes ago

yup. It's a sad state of affairs right now :/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

the honeymoon from the election is just wearing off.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You can remove him from the board but he'll still have all of his shares. And I'd bet he's not really doing much as Tesla these days anyway.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Not much except getting their dealerships torched.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 hours ago

My point was that they're doing what they're doing to hurt Elon. Removing Elon from the board does not prevent them from hurting Elon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

Even if they do, protests and boycotts need to continue past it. A lot of his wealth is in Tesla stock, and he's going to benefit from the shadows if the public moves on and TSLA recovers.
