The investor shareholders are not happy.
Honestly, he's not worth it, after the rollercoaster ride he's put Tesla - and his other companies - on over the years.

Fuck him. Fuck ALL OF THEM. Since affordability seems to be the party message for the next year, let's run on taxing the billionaires...BY NAME.

Say their names out on the trail. The names aren't unknown, just pick 5 and memorize them. And then say those names publicly.

'You wanna raise my taxes!'
'Is your name Elon? Then no, I WONT raise YOUR taxes; you're an uneducated retired MAGA whose on a single fixed income cause your wife left as soon as the kids were out of the house cause you're INTOLERABLE at thanksgiving.
What am I gonna buy with YOUR taxes, bro?

paint for the fuckin ballroom?!

KEEP IT, and then keep quiet.

Or I guess share dilution either. There have been a lot of brilliant or at least very effective CEOs, but I’ve always been a little weary of the borderline deification of them. For me, it started with Iacocca. I especially would have a hard time with ones so easily distracted and seemingly unwilling to listen as Musk. I guess, considering Tesla’s forward and trailing PE, shareholders have to believe in his godlike qualities, because an ordinary human probably cannot lead Tesla to the market expansion built in its price.
