Other people do the work, he power trips to feel self important.

Tesla literally have handlers designed to keep him from doing things but make him feel like he is.

Musk doesn't have a job; he has hobbies.

It's an addiction for them. Wealth and power, you can never have enough to feel satisfied.

Points. He has more points than that other billionaire, so he wins!!

“I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can’t be overturned,” Musk wrote in a post on X.

You HAD more than 25%, but you sold to below that to buy twitter for some reason. Why should Tesla give into your threat when you could just sell again to buy something else and threaten Tesla again?

Also, why wouldn’t the board fire him for saying that he isn’t going to to his job?

[–] sailingbythelee@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. Musk was a good hype man back in the day, but now he is a liability. It seems like Tesla would be better off without him at this point.

He's not even the founder.
