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?
I think any social media causes brain damage. You and I are getting some brain damage just even pondering some of this stuff.
I don’t bear the guy any ill will either, but as a fan of the brand, it’s time to move on. We’ve seen this time and time again in automotive history (well not to this extent I suppose, but we’ve still seen some shit over the past 100 years). These guys go egomaniac, and they are always quite eccentric and maybe a bit insane (a key qualification of being an auto baron), but eventually they all seem to go supernova, and then it’s time to go. That’s where we are with this one, I’m afraid.
