Early voting results suggest Tesla shareholders approve Musk's controversial $56 billion pay package.

What a complete joke that company is

Yeah that 500b company printing money and disrupting the entire transportation industry. What 👏 a 👏 joke 👏 lol.

They just gave a compensation package to their CEO that’s worth more than all the profit they’ve ever made. It’s absolutely a joke

If true, I wish I could give you more than my sad one up-vote.

It has been cringe in the extreme to watch them debate whether they are giving their babyman chieftain enough billions to appease him.

I’m glad to hear he won’t “lose interest” in working now. I can’t wait to see his next big plan after the industry dominating cyber truck.

I should ask my boss for $56 billion so I don’t lose interest in working

Spoiler alert: it mostly involves shit-posting on Twitter and sexually harassing his employees.

He’ll start a recycling company to recycle the shitty cyber trucks when they break down or when people get rid of them because they’re shit.

I think if you read between the line, Tesla people aren’t just worried that he will stop working as hard for them, but also worried that he will flip and become an active detractor of theirs. Look at what he’s done with OpenAI. You can say he owns too many shares of Tesla but he could do quite a bit of damage to their stock price merely by selling them.

No but you see he is a visionary! A real life Tony Stark!! He’ll do great things with that money like… Making Twitter X likes private for some reason…? I’m sure that cost a lot of money somehow /s

To be clear this isn’t official results, this is what musk is projecting.

But the only think the big holders care about is their return rates. And they know Tesla is waaaaaaay overvalued. It’s all based on hype.

So would Tesla be a better company free of musk?

Undoubtedly.

But they don’t care about that. Musk hype drove the stock price up, no real company would be so overvalued. Without continued hype, the price goes down, which might cause a run on the stock and might end the company.

musk is Tesla. And it’s why the company will be nothing but hype. Doesn’t matter if the company loses money as long as stock price keeps going up.

Making quality vehicles isnt their business model, it’s keeping the stock price up.

Yeah at this point it’s a question of when the hype ends and it all comes tumbling down. There’s nothing but investor sentiment holding the price where it’s at.

Year over year revenue is down 50%, consistently for several quarters. Three missed quarterly estimates in a row.

The smart money is moving to catch the Nvidia bubble.
