A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Aand still +30% from year ago.
Is "Tesla is going bankrupt" then new "Putin has cancer"?
Trump apparently tried claiming it’s illegal to boycott Tesla. They’re most likely not happy about it lol
The entire stock market is likely overvalued by 25% or so. This is a regression to the mean, accelerated by the fact that Musk no longer seems to care whether Tesla is successful or not. Probably because he sucked out all the money via that incentive package the board approved a few months ago.
The pay was in stock options. It essentially doubled his ownership of Tesla from 12% to 25% so he in fact cares a lot about the price.
The stockholders are definitely morons for agreeing to it. Pay the fashgeld and you never get rid of the fash.
I didn't know that, thank you! Also apparently a judge has blocked the awarding of the package?
Yes, we'll see if it sticks. The prior argument was that Elon effectively controlled the board, and when he convinced the shareholders to vote in favor as well he lied/threatened them and invalidated it. This is just cynicism but I wouldn't particularly expect that to stick, but who knows?
Maybe the judges will think of the poor shareholders for once
