It comes just days after Musk announced plans to cut more than 10% of its global workforce.
In a memo issued to staff Musk said there was nothing he hated more, “but it must be done”.
I am speechless, are his employees and shareholders buying this ****?
No, most shareholder don’t have voice in big corp. Only a handful of shareholder who invest ton of cash can speak
People like Ron Baron
Most of TSLA is held by retail. Institutional investors are around 13%, Elon is around the same. (From memory)
Elon said he and his brother will abstain from the vote. They’re also going to spend millions to influence the vote.
It’d be pretty stupid for the shareholders to approve either. They also want to move the incorporation from Delaware to Texas, because apparently Delaware isn’t corporation friendly enough.
It’ll be interesting to see whether common sense or propaganda is more effective on TSLA retail shareholders.

Tesla total number of employees in 2023 was 140,473
56.000.000.000 / 14.000 = 4.000.000
That’s 4 million per fired employee.
Over half their revenue
😂 Tesla 📉
Board chair Robyn Denholm wrote in a letter included in the regulatory filing: “Elon has not been paid for any of his work for Tesla for the past six years… That strikes us, and the many stockholders from whom we already have heard, as fundamentally unfair.”
Musk’s compensation for 2023 was $0, the filing showed, as the billionaire does not take a salary from the company and is compensated through stock options.
it’s so unfair that elon hasnt gotten a single pay check and has instead had to settle for making billions off of his stock options. think of all the mega yachts and social media companies he could’ve bought if only he had been paid a salary.
What bullshit it is to throw stock at someone that ends up being worth billions and turn around and say they never got paid.
He received compensation via stocks in lieu of cash. It’s business pay and compensation 101…this is how you get can get paid.
She’s saying “he got paid, just not cash pay, so we didn’t really pay him, and now we want to pay him again differently.”
completely agree. and it’s even more insidious when you take into account how he’s spent the past 6 years bragging about how he has a salary of $0 because he’s “only working for the betterment of humanity” or some nonsense like that.
I’ll offer this up, too:
Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the world, has made the same $81,840 salary for two decades.
Yeah, it’s an older article, but it demonstrates the same principle. Cash pay doesn’t indicate what someone’s worth. One could get paid more than Bezos, but obviously never approach his total compensation or net worth.
So why Musk is trying to pillage Tesla for such a huge pay package is beyond me. However, on the Tesla c/, some speculate that Tesla is showing some of the same symptoms as other big automakers did before declaring bankruptcy. Total uneducated guess that musk is cashing out some of his chips before Tesla “officially” declares financial issues in the next few years?
Not really news that Tesla has a lot of headwinds, even before Elon’s peculiarities and ‘leadership’ is factored:
- Was disruptive in early 2000s, now suffering from many of the same diseconomies as the auto industry
- Vertical integration especially introduces huge CapEx that has to justify its continued existence via regular, strong sales. There’s a very good reason the big automakers sub-contract out a significant part of their BoMs for production and JiT stocking
- Traditional auto makers (and government) are pushing EVs hard, greatly increasing competition especially in entry level markets where Tesla has poor showing
- High profile recalls, durability issues, and ‘autopilot’ deaths leading to growing concern, both regulatory and consumer
We all know the stock is massively overvalued. The question is will it correct and level off, or fall so fast from that height that Tesla ends up like Lucid, Rivian, or Polestar etc as a low-mid manufacturer, or go so far that the short sellers bring the knives out until delisting
You have to hand it to him. He’s managed to figure out how to milk US government subsidies whilst being a royal cunt.
Figured it out? All you need is money. You hire a lobbyist and that’s it, it’s not a genius move, the system is just designed for people like him
yo, make sure pay everyone their salary before pay your ceo
It’s based on an increased company value. I suppose he will gladly pay it back when the company loses value too. Right?
This sounds like that meme.
They already started saving for his payout by firing 10% of the workforce. Well done!
It’s only fair.

Come on guys, just give up your legal rights and money. Elon needs control.
Fuck me, that site is like a parody of itself.
Thanks to Elon Musk’s vision and leadership, Tesla has created tremendous value for you, the owners of the Company, all while advancing its mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.
It’s 1984 levels of brainwashing.
