      He just got approved for that big $40+ billion compensation package from Tesla so he’s got lots to work with.

        A single billion is an obscene amount of money for an individual, I can’t fathom how anyone can be worth/earn a billion in a couple of years.

        To me it’s mental that stock holders would approve such package when company itself for its entire existence had income that is smaller than his “bonus”. Some people are downright stupid.

          Theyre wealthy not smart. The smart wealthy ones fade into obscurity, like Tom or that one distant uncle who lives in a cabin in the woods and juat kinda vibes.

        What’s absolutely insane to me, is that other CEOs think that’s fair and fine and that Elon is very smart and not a con artist? No wonder Elizabeth Holmes got so far. It’s just so obvious he’s not above board

        Don’t worry, he seems hard at work making sure all that Tesla stock he got will also be worth less everyday.
