    It’s irritating to see him looting the company like that when he actually delivers negative value to the company otherwise. Literally it would be better for Tesla to give those bonuses to some random person on the street than to Musk.

      Wasn‘t the trillion dollar bonus tied to Tesla stocks hitting a ridiculous, record breaking high that they will never reach? I believe that whole thing was a stunt.

      Can you imagine the sales bump from the positive PR if they had given 500 random strangers a million dollars instead of giving it to Elon? Absolute worst case they would have sold roughly 499 more cars.

      The cult is about Musk, not Tesla. If they lose Musk, the stans will leave and it’s a $15 stock, maybe.

      It wouldn’t though because the only reason Tesla isn’t trading at 1/100th the current price is because of Musk. It isn’t a company that makes cars, its a company that makes bullshit stock value, and its really good at that.
