Vet ikke helt hvor dette hører hjemme, men siden vi ikke har en egen tråd om Musk:
These have been some real banner days for Elon Musk. He burned down most of his $44 billion investment in Twitter. He drove remaining advertisers away with his antisemitism. Then he went into a snit on stage and told those advertisers to go fuck themselves. Now he’s frosting that cake with a daily dose of horrifying racism and taking some time to sneer at disabled people.
Oh, and he finally got out the CyberTruck. Four years late. With half the promised range. Far above the promised price. And a problem with snow.
All of which makes it an excellent time for Musk to inform the Tesla board that unless they give him another $80 billion in shares, he’ll take his big brain elsewhere.
Elon Musk demands an $80 billion raise (dailykos.com)
In a Monday post to X, Musk told the board at Tesla that he needs to own 25% of the company so that he can have enough control of their developments in AI and robotics. Otherwise, Musk says he will “build products outside of Tesla.”
There’s a case in Delaware's Court of Chancery that’s looking into the huge package of stock, stock options, and pay that helped make Musk so wealthy in the first place. That case is looking at how Musk used his position as the largest shareholder and CEO to dominate the Tesla board and award himself a $55 billion compensation package in 2018.
The biggest thought on Elon Musk’s mind these days doesn’t seem to be space or EVs. Instead, it’s his hatred for diversity programs. Musk called attempts to see that 50% of those in pilot training are either women or people of color “insane.” He slammed the FAA for disability hiring goals, claimed that airlines and agencies are putting DEI above passenger safety, and declared that the problem with Boeing is that it doesn’t hire enough white men. That’s in addition to heavy-duty racism like agreeing that students from historically Black colleges and universities have lower IQs and shouldn't be allowed to become pilots.
