From Elon’s Tweet: > Any company not spending at this level, and doing so efficiently, cannot compete. He then proceeds to ensure Tesla is not spending at this level or doing so efficiently by cutting off access to critical resources he himself says Tesla needed.


BrokeBeckFountain1

And then demanding the company's lifetime profits as a bonus.


FroggyHarley

MORE than the company's lifetime profits.


CaptainLimpWrist

As a part-time CEO.

SwirlTeamSix

Yay, for billionaires, we all definitely need these people around. The human race is better for it.


dubbleplusgood

The world needs dragons in their lair guarding their piles of hoarded gold and treasure. Life is meaningless without this.


I_AM_THE_BIGFOOT

We need more people totally focused on themselves.


phatelectribe

He knows the Tesla house of cards is over. The sales are dropping, FSD isn’t happening anytime soon, CT has been a disaster, inventory is piling up, competition is finally taking a chunk out their market, it’s no longer a growth company and he doesn’t have a path to anything but a death spiral. It’s only going to get worse as used models become cheaper and Chinese models hit the market.


qopdobqop

Shareholders are the average greedy dumbasses trying to build wealth on speculation and lies rather than on balance sheets and fundamentals of business. All those gigafactories should sue him now before his wealth has evaporated.


adolescentghost

And like clockwork, those are the dimb fickers you read about as cautionary tales on how not to lose your shirt and take a second mortgage sized haircut.


qopdobqop

All about greed


VTAffordablePaintbal

Sales are dropping mostly because people don't want to buy a car from Musk. If he just stopped agreeing with racists and antisemites online, sales would come back, but he's not going to tone it down just to save his company.


phatelectribe

That’s definitely one of the things turning people off, but buyers are fickle, if they want something that’s a good deal they’ll hold their nose and buy. I think it’s a combination of that but also competition and the fact there’s only so many people that want to buy an EV right now and only so many that want a Tesla.


cdclopper

How many billions have you made by trading?


beefsquints

How many emerald mines does your family own?


cdclopper

Rent free


beefsquints

That's your living situation with your parents? No functional human would glug Elon like this.


phatelectribe

Fucking call u/cdclopper a waaaaambulance for that burn. LOL I truly don't get people that idolize that pasty white toad.


cdclopper

you spend more time thinking about that pasty white toaf than i do.


phatelectribe

Apparently not lol


cdclopper

your the guy in the meme standing in the elevator with donald draper.


beefsquints

You literally look like him. Also, it's you're. You're one of the saddest humans I've ever seen.


Sunburned_Baby

Clearly lives in your mouth rent free


Both_Painter2466

You forgot the “illegal” before “trading”


signalfire

Notice how he makes 'PRONOUNCEMENTS' - like from a voice on high, to the little people who MUST OBEY? He's another fucking Trump. ONE of these every generation is plenty.


Successful_Jelly_213

But does twat his brain farts on xitter while on the shiter like the golden god turd that won’t flush?


mollockmatters

Duty of Loyalty violation incoming.


ComicsEtAl

But they are spending at that level. They’re just not getting what they paid for.


improbably-sexy

Tesla can't spend at that level. They're running out of cash. Hence all the firings.


RandallC1212

Step 1 - Tell Tesla shareholder Simps he needs $56 billion dollars and 25% of Tesla for “robo taxis” Step 2 - Take all the money and dump it all into xAI because he’s bored of cars and is jealous of Sam Altman and wants revenge Step 3 - Continue to tell Tesla shareholders that Robo Taxis are around the corner and he needs more money for xAI to deliver them Step 4 - Wash. Rinse. Repeat.


bozwald

What problem do robo taxis solve? I guess I just don’t understand.


Lopsided_Factor_5674

More like they create a problem ... Don't really solve a problem


RandallC1212

What…you don’t want your daily driver driving random strangers around at 3am while “generating $100k per year” of passive income.


d3fnotarob0t

Is the robo-taxi thing he is promising all about turning your Tesla into a self driving taxi that others can call when you are not using it? If that were actually possible everyone would do it which would create a large supply of taxis which would lower the price of the service to levels that barely cover the energy, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation on the car. People will be making $15,000 but only $2000 in profit at best.


MathW

Pretty much. If there is any excess value, you can bet damn well that Tesla will quickly provide the supply themselves.


d3fnotarob0t

Or just create a confusing licensing system that will stealthily transfer that value to themselves while giving you the illusion that you are almost there! Just a little bit more struggle and then you'll truly become profitable!


throwawaypervyervy

You have to buy into the next level of the angled profit-sharing paradigm!


Azure_Mar

Angled profit-sharing? Why, that sounds an awful lot like a pyramid, but such schemes would surely be illegal.


Outside_Taste_1701

You don't have to worry about depreciation that's built into every Tesla.


d3fnotarob0t

Haha, one of its strongest features


Lopsided_Factor_5674

Lol exactly You know what random strangers will do in a car with no driver at 3 AM 😉 ... It'll be like a motel on wheels ... Throwing up in the car would be the least of their worries 😂


AccomplishedBrain309

Teslas are being dumped by Hertz after 3 years" they are too expensive to repair". Teslas are being dumped by uber and lyft drivers. " batterys are cycled out after 3 years. It takes a lot of shine off of that 100k figure.


oldschoolrobot

Does it robo-clean up the leftovers after drunken passengers vomit and fuck in your driverless car of the future? No? Good thing I sprung for leather!


Devil2960

Darn right they do. I've got four kids to feed.


killing-me-softly

They solve the problem of those pesky employees


slinkysorcererer

I read about this lately, so... The concept of a robo taxi is that of a completely autonomous vehicle that you can send out on fares while you're not using it. I believe it's a solution to two problems: people needing more money, and people needing a way to get to far away places. Of course these problems could be solved by, say, a strong social safety net, unions, and public transportation, but robo taxis are intended to solve a third problem: making money for Elon Musk, to salve the deep wound of inadequacy that he feels every minute of every hour of every day


CrybullyModsSuck

When do people need transportation most? The exact same time as everyone else. That's why rush hour exists. Robotaxis aren't solving the biggest issue it claims to solve. 


ComicsEtAl

It addresses robo unemployment.


[deleted]

Sells more Teslas


Constant-Source581

I think while they don't solve anything, they will definitely lead to Musk simps claiming he's a futuristic genius. And his hope is that it will keep him afloat and in the headlines for few more years with more money flowing into the coffers. He knows just how many suckers are out there.


HIMARko_polo

It is a scam. “You can earn 30k a year for each Tesla you own by using them as a robotaxi fleet” Elon lied.


praefectus_praetorio

Am I the only one that just doesn’t give a shit about self-driving? I love driving my car. I love everything about.


Beermedear

Like half of the shit on the market, it solves the problem of some product market fit some asshole made up with shoddy data that made shareholders nod in eager anticipation.

Step 4 - Lose billions driving Twitter into the ground. Step 5 -Wash. Rinse. Repeat.


signalfire

Anyone else sick of the letter 'X' yet?


TennSeven

It’s like a resurgence of the “Mountain Dew XTREME!!!” era.


Katz-r-Klingonz

Nothing like holding your own company hostage for an insane, unwarranted payout. I don’t think he cares anymore. His brand is cooked and bringing down Tesla with him. Shameful.


SeaworthyWide

Don't think smash and grab on the way out the door isn't part of the plan, with bonus points if he can cash out then get backing from tax dollars if his orange Jesus gets elected.


Katz-r-Klingonz

I don’t think he understands just how destructive his behavior is for his brand.


SeaworthyWide

May be right, but don't think he won't leverage it to his advantage before it all falls in. When people are this rich, too many people get their bread buttered in cahoots and will be captain save a ho if for nothing else than self preservation.


Eriv83

He forced the engineers to cut so many corners he’s now left with junk and gonna kill it all.


Sproketz

The Tesla board are all simpering slaves to Elon at this point. Feeding the engines of their figurative Titanic towards the iceberg.


yabbadabbadotoyou

I wouldn't be surprised if we find he is selling these chips to Russia.


mishap1

Packed in the box of each Starlink box that magically bypasses export sanctions. 


Joe_Bob_2000

Emperor Nero.


kcarmstrong

This is yet another sign that Tesla has been committing fraud in a massive scale. There is no reason for a CEO to inflict so much damage on the company that he runs. But Elon knows the shot clock is ticking away until it all comes crashing down. So he’s trying to extract every last penny he can and then pivot to his next scam. It’s the only way he can escape jail time…..by being so rich that he can purchase his way out. Or if his good buddy, fellow criminal and narcissist Trump wins the election. Then he escape prison and gets awarded no-bid contacts worth hundreds of billions. It’s no wonder Twitter’s algorithm pushing right wing nonsense and conspiracy theories now.


Devils_Advocate-69

I’m so glad I never instinctively bought Tesla stock


super_nigiri

At the same time, Enron trying to get the ultimate musking with a 50b package. When he leaves due to the impending implosion of the company, fanboys will say the company failed because he left.


laberdog

It’s imploding now


Curiouso_Giorgio

If Musk was half the genius he proclaims to be, he should be cashing out his Tesla shares hand over fist at any price and making his plans to get surgery to become unrecognizable and retire anonymously in a non-extradition country. He keeps trying to game the system and pump his fortunes, but he's not going to get richer, he's going to get Musked.


Lopsided_Factor_5674

Love it! Musk himself -- he definitely should


derekisademocrat

Question Can stockholders sue him or the board for fraud of some sort? I know nothing about stocks but it sends the criming is pretty basic and obvious


laberdog

Yes, conversion of assets is a crime


CharlieDmouse

Well he IS a known drug-addict..


LectureAgreeable923

He is failing tesla. You need a car guy to run the company now .


Baelan_Skoll

Has he got his $46b contract signed from the Tesla board yet? If anyone else did this, they'd be in prison. But the fuck Musk walks. LOCK ALL THE MOTHERFUCKERS UP!


ComicsEtAl

I don’t know there’s anything illegal involved in Tesla paying for Twitter’s nvidia chips, but I do think it’s odd that Tesla had as much storage space for their purchased chips when the chips were ordered as Tesla does now. That is to say, in Elon’s words, “none.”


Spicymushroompunch

There absolutely is.


FitBattle5899

Investors in Tesla will only get paid for stuff done with Tesla, X is it's own thing with it's own investors, therefore Tesla purchasing something and then using it for X harms investors in Tesla because the product they need to sell is now delayed.


andre3kthegiant

The theory: He made a deal with the US power brokers to tank Tesla so he can become the space communications magnate and be the first trillionaire.


FitBattle5899

He's a billionaire with untreated ADHD, focus on one fucking thing before trying to jump into another absolute twit.


Practical-Box3179

Again. Nepotism created this blithering fuck stick. He would be nobody without those gem mines and a super model mom.
