In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns.

Just casually asking for a roughly 80 Billion dollar pay raise. But at this point would Tesla be better off without him?

    He brings ZERO value to tesla after all his FSD lies and others were exposed.

    Sure people still fall for tesla crap, but he himself is useless now.

      Much like the PT cruiser, there’s a due hard group of people in love with cyber truck, he made that happen.

      Personally I think it looks stupid as hell, but since people are very into it.

      If they could get someone boring like Tim Apple Cook, that just runs the company very well and profitably… Tesla would be sitting pretty good with their dominant place in the Electric market. The only reason most people dont pick tesla for an EV is literally Elon.

        Unfortunately, idiot Elon gets his grubby fingers ALL OVER every last piece of tech in the Tesla. It’s ALL shoddily engineered because of him. Like simple, time tested engineering concepts like redundancy? Elon would fire you. He eliminated redundancy in their FSD, choosing to rely solely on computer vision and machine learning. He literally had a good design for the sensor modules and got rid of it. Tim Cook doesn’t sabotage Apple’s engineering team like that.

        I’m literally not buying a Tesla because he’s a douchbag.

        When I see a Tesla on the road I assume they are a Musk fan boy. There’s no prestige in that brand. There are a lot of us that assume that.

          I would be more likely to buy a Tesla if Musk was gone. He is poisonous to the brand.
