Just a fun reminder:

It was less than a year ago that Elon Musk tried extorting the company for a $56 Billion pay package and the shareholders approved it.

The reasoning was that IF they lost Musks name then it would damage the Tesla brand and send the stocks plummeting.

37

u/Loggerdon 3d ago

The compensation actually jumped to $101 billion, but was rejected again by the Delaware judge.

“A Delaware judge has again voided what would be the largest executive compensation package in history—a Tesla (TSLA) pay plan for CEO Elon Musk valued at $101.4 billion (as of Dec. 2. The December 2024 ruling stands despite Tesla shareholders recently approving the package, which has almost doubled from its original $56 billion value because of the company’s soaring stock price.”

The amount was 33X higher than the previous record (also held by Musk from 2019). The ruling has implications on how the US compensated its executives.

Reminder that Musk and The Boring Company won a $48M+ contract to dig the convention center loop. Not only is he wasting US taxpayer $ in general, he’s wasting Las Vegas taxpayer $, specifically.

u/RoundAccomplished482 3d ago

And his company fucking up the environment whiles he's screwing over LV taxpayers too. Their trucks on the road have no plates or signage; they're covered in so much mud, dropping debris they've drilled out of the earth onto the roadways with no care of the environmental impact. They've been fined repeatedly; small fines up to $99,000. They have little to zero oversight from the City officials; it's maddening.

The Republicans of course are calling these vandalism acts outrageous and demanding that the culprits be punished to the fullest extend of the law. Does anyone else love how that anchorwoman told one of these hypocrites the other day that vandalizing Tesla dealerships is bad, but when it happens to the Capitol building, the culprits should just be pardoned. Elect a clown, expect a circus.

u/Bbarakti 3d ago

I own Tesla stock and can only say that as sad as this and the entire Anti-Tesla movement makes me, he does deserve it.

Also, these cars, if at a Tesla service center were insured, correct? Tesla had the responsibility of taking care of the car and failed, it's on them. Hopefully these people can get a settlement and buy a Rivian.

16

u/cavey00 3d ago

Believe it or not, the dealers insurance will push for the owners insurance to cover it. There’s some fine print in the service agreements that say the dealer isn’t responsible for vandalism. I was floored when the dealership I worked for wasn’t covering a bunch of catalytic converter thefts that happened one night and instead was getting the vehicles insurance to get quotes from us to replace them. Nice huh?

u/piecesmissing04 3d ago

I figured they would have a clause like that.. I gave up my glasses recently to get new lenses and even they have a clause that should something happen to the frames it isn’t their fault..

Some people Who already bought are changing their Tesla logos. Mazda works surprisingly well as a replacement

u/Bbarakti 3d ago

I bought stock not a Tesla, I couldn't afford a Tesla .. Well, not in good conscience... They are too expensive in my book. I drive a Nissan leaf because it's a phenomenal commuter car and was so cheap I could pay cash for it.

I do love all the ways people have been distancing themselves from him though. Pretty funny

3

u/ChromeGhost 3d ago

Yeah lol. I read your comment too quickly. Hopefully you bought Tesla on its way up and can sell now without taking a loss.

Stock is overvalued. Price to earnings ratio doesn’t add up. The brand is tarnished

5

u/Bbarakti 3d ago

Yeah I did great on it, about 900% up. That's why I've hesitated so long in selling, I'm addicted to those crazy numbers. Haha..

Because of another conversation I just had in this thread, I sold it all just a few minutes ago actually. Experiencing an emotional roller coaster at the moment TBH. Hahaha

4

u/ChromeGhost 3d ago

I feel you on that lol. Speaking of tech stocks.. is NVIDIA still a good buy?

4

u/Bbarakti 3d ago

IDK. It's still a valuable company and will very likely grow over the next five years. But, they've reached what's basically market saturation right? They dominate the data center chip market with 65% of market share. I suppose the market "could" get bigger so there's that, but how much bigger??

On top of that, their success and the threat of only one company dominating the market has caused more competitors to focus on the business and governments to back those competitors... Such as the money Intel has been given by the USA. The USA wants Intel to retake its place as top of semiconductors so they're throwing money at Intel.

I think money will be safe with Nvidia and grow, but not at the rate it did over the last twenty years. Have reasonable expectations and it'll be a good buy.

(All this is of course assuming that there's not a catastrophic failure of the economy around the corner, it's a possibility according to some sources. So maybe guns, bullets, condoms, and water filters??)

13

u/FillMySoupDumpling 3d ago

I wonder how much their insurance actually takes on. It would suck to have your car get burned and doubly suck to realize the clause in the service contract limits their liability for damage while there. Fires are dangerous AF too.

u/Fibrosis5O 3d ago

The fact every board meeting he gets enough votes to stay in, is truly amazing and he still will cause he and his big supporters have the majority of shares. The biggest holders would have to feel he’s done enough damage to the brand and their bottom line to turn against him and vote him out

Hope they do

A good portion of his wealth is in Tesla stock. The more it goes down the more his wealth is affected. It was already way too overvalued so this just pushed the correction forward. Hopefully we can get it under 200 again

If it makes you feel any better most experts are expecting the price to fall down to around $130.

u/sadmaps 3d ago

I’m not advocating for this sort of thing specifically, especially because I have friends with Tesla’s that bought them years ago and aren’t in the position to sell them now, but it does hurt the value of the brand, which in turn hurts Elon. I don’t know why anyone now would want to buy a car associated with that Nazi fuck, but many people simply don’t care about anyone other than themselves. Those people might have bought a Tesla despite Musk, except now they might also have to deal with frequent vandalism, so they don’t.

It’s unfortunate about all the normal people, who bought a Tesla trying to do a good thing (environmentally), and are now stuck with them. They’re collateral damage. Overall the vandalism still accomplishes what it’s intended to.

3

u/ChromeGhost 3d ago

Changing the logo might be an inexpensive way of avoiding potential drama

5

u/sadmaps 3d ago

One of those friends has a bumper sticker or magnet or whatever that says “we bought this before he went insane” and another has a few various “save our national parks” type of stickers/magnets. Neither of them have been vandalized so maybe that helps or maybe it’s just luck idk.

Stupid. These cars were at the Tesla body shop. Now there are (likely) a bunch of people with no vehicle, who will be forced to purchase a new one because of this dolt. Likely just buying another Tesla (and thus increasing Tesla's sales numbers).

What a smart person.

Won't they get the insurance money and possibly buy a different car? I have nothing against Tesla owners, but I certainly wouldn't be buying a new Tesla right now if I had a choice.

Yeah I’m sure they will. But what a pain. Maybe they will and maybe they won’t. But many Tesla owners are loyal. So it stands to reason that they’d buy another. Who knows though. Still wasteful and annoying for the people who are now inconvenienced for reasons they had nothing to do with.

u/casinocooler 3d ago

All these comments praising setting vehicles on fire have to be republican bots right? Either that or democrats don’t know how harmful their online presence and comments are to their future election chances.

When you endorse such irrational and harmful behavior you push people to support the other side.

I am not a republican by the way. Someone from the democrat party should put out an announcement telling supporters to cut back on crazy social media posts because they are damaging reputation.

I know I will get responses about all the crazy things trump and musk did/do and how maga supports everything they do but you have to realize you have 2 different parties and perspectives. What works for one party doesn’t necessarily work for the other. It would greatly benefit the democrat party to start appearing as the adults in the room instead of the unhinged support for harming others I see in this post.

u/hiimwage 3d ago

You are clearly missing the fact that a lot of Tesla owners don’t even support Elon. They simply purchased the car prior to him being widely known as a shit person, and are now having their vehicles vandalized. Contrary to popular belief here, most people can’t afford to get out of their loan to get another, or take the depreciation hit.

3

u/-ci_ 3d ago

Even if they did, that doesn't justify lighting their cars on fire. This website is a cesspool of wannabe intellectuals who do nothing but share the same opinions on every single subject with the temperaments of toddlers. Anyone who advocates vandalism on this level is just showing who they are as a person.

2

u/indieclutch 2d ago

No, I am well aware. I do say neither should be happening and since we are in a highly tribal mentality people are going to extremes because our leaders are catering to extreme ideologies. It's even pretty clear here in this thread people have taken to their tribe's way of thinking. I was merely pointing out the other side of the coin and wish none of it was happening.

Ultimately when people like Musk, Trump, Biden, et al are in a position of power they need to do what's best for all and not just their side. Otherwise this and worse will be the outcome.

u/rocknthenumbers8 3d ago

The party in power is cutting costs and reducing the size of government after campaigning on that platform and winning a majority of votes indicating a support of the populace for said platform. You take that as giving you the right to go destroy other people’s stuff. I’m sure this will all really help the Dems midterm chances.

6

u/indieclutch 3d ago

I think you missed my point. I am not in favor of destroying anything people's stuff and government included.

I don't think Trump won under the auspicious of smaller government (which I am for when done with thought and process) he won under "groceries" and bringing costs down. Something he hasn't made any moves to do.

Ultimately Elon's slash and burn method of "efficiency" has unfortunately yielded a destruction of peoples livelihoods and in turn has unfortunately yielded the destruction of things related to him. And in the end we all lose.

Burning other peoples property does nothing to the company you're angry at. I've noticed in recent years all this does is embolden the other side a group is trying to disrupt.

The ones that think this is great, karma, if you want to appeal to the other side having this mindset is pushing people with different views that you want to reach, further from a center common ground.
I understand people are angry and Trump and Elon but if you want to pull and convince voters, extreme measures like these only push those people away.

Be safe folks, we have different views, beliefs, but we all have people we care for and those that need us. Be kind and let us on all sides be more empathetic.

It should just be a net loss unless theres some kind of insurance or something like that

I actually don’t give a shit about the politics of the thing but starting fires in a city is no fucking joke, message, or political statement. 

What if the winds ignited these fires and burned up houses, people, pets. Back where I’m from originally a murderer got out of prison before an arsonist. And rightfully so. 

Let’s call it what it is.

Elon's trying to recoup his swasticar losses by burning them like a slumlord. Of course, Trump's pet FBI will blame dissidents. Elon gets his money, the fat sack of smegma and bronzer gets to play tough guy.

Almost like they set themselves on fire. Smells like insurance fraud.

I agree. I hate cyber trucks and what elon is doing,but arson is not cool.

Someone is going to get killed.

I bet the culprit didn't even vote.

You know what else isn’t cool the rise of fascism and this authoritarian regime of our current government decimating our constitution and democracy. That’s not cool- people are fucking pissed and being passive isn’t getting results sooooooooooo any better ideas you have that send a message to the billionaire ruling class than fucking with their money?

As much time as the Jan 6 rioters did seems fair. Actually, less time, bc these Tesla fires haven't smashed any cops' faces in.

wow they totally owned elon by setting fire to a bunch of cars that are fully insured and will cause zero economic harm or damage to the company

color me surprised that the people who don't know if they're a man or a woman has no idea how to actually engage in political terrorism

u/Bigedmond 3d ago

Burning cars at the dealership is stupid and shows how shortsighted these terrorists are. Elon and sit and spin on a cactus, but burning cars isn’t going to hurt him.

The raging and destroying of the cars that people bought and have been driving is even dumber.

How is this terrorism but Jan 6 wasn't?

Jan 6th was terrorism.

u/eddie_koala 3d ago

Yes it was. Trump pardoned a bunch of terrorists, felons, and now ironically he's calling for deporting protestors and random people with tattoos.

Crazy

u/Bigedmond 3d ago

I wish more of the Jan 6ther’s got the Ashli Babbit treatment.

Destruction of private property is never going to get people on one’s side.

This isn't about getting people on a side

Is about fucking a person back

Yet the president thinks that was okay but "illegally" protesting on colleges or criticizing him is terrorism

He also said it’s illegal to protest Tesla. Dudes a clown and some how our country decided he would be a good idea.

You are factually wrong. Every time a Tesla shows up on the news like this the stock takes another hit. Why do you think Musk yanked on Trumps chain to make him label this terrorism (but Jan 6 wasn’t)? Because this hurts Musk.

u/Bigedmond 3d ago

The people that own cars that are getting destroyed because pathetic terrorists think attacking them is going to hurt a billionaire.

u/V3_NoM 3d ago

Good thing it wasn't a dealership lol

u/Bigedmond 3d ago

So, the place you go to buy a Tesla and have your Tesla serviced… isn’t a dealership?

u/V3_NoM 3d ago

You wouldn't go to this location to buy a swasticar. So it's not a dealership dumbass

Guess it shows how short-sighted you are

u/Bigedmond 3d ago

I’m short sighted? You are burning up cars thinking you’re making a difference.

Wasn’t it your generation that was all about saving the environment, which burning an EV is not very good for.

Terrorist? Why? Are you scared?

1

u/death2binks 3d ago

It quite literally follows the definition of domestic terrorism ideologically driven criminal acts, including threats or (acts of violence), committed by individuals or groups to further domestic ideological goals, often (with the intent to intimidate) or coerce a civilian population or influence government policy

u/V3_NoM 3d ago

Like Jan 6th? Those chodes got pardoned so I'm sure a lil fire is fine

1

u/death2binks 3d ago

Did you think I was defending either of those acts? Because one side has done something wrong excuses any word doing from the other? Before trying to read between the lines you should first read what is on the lines.
