Exactly. This is a long term investment for sure, but one I’m sure will pay off. Elon will accomplish what he sets out to do, and when he does we’ll all be rich. There’s not a single other person alive I can say that about today. Love him or hate him, he gets results. He may be late, but if he says something will happen it will happen.
Where is your I WANT ASS T-shirt?? You know that was the preferred shirt of choice among VIP investors...We had an amazing day! No flying cars spotted, but it does feel like Elon is razor focused on Tesla now. Wish I could share the factory producing cars a
nd truck in real time. Suffice to say it was amazing. If you ever get a chance to attend a shareholder meeting I highly recommend it.
Exactly. The opposite news stations can spin it however they like. In reality, why not buy a lottery ticket you don’t have to pay for unless you win?
I wonder why they chose April Fools?
Wrong. First, the shareholder vote on pay is advisory only, isn’t a binding up or down vote. The board compensation committee isn’t bound by the vote in any way, but will consider it. Second, 75% positive in say-on-pay votes is considered a fail. Anything below 90% is an indication of a problem to any public company compensation committee. Pay votes are typically over 95% positive. As a corporate governance instructor and member of public company boards and comp committees, I support both Elon’s former and upcoming compensation plans, as the hurdle thresholds are ridiculously difficult and are completely aligned with shareholder interests. However it is also clear based on comments here and elsewhere that most folks have no idea about the nuances of say-on-pay votes. 75% isn’t great or even good, especially considering the nature of the institutional investors that publicly announced opposition. Again, while I personally think the plan is brilliant, my sense is that this process isn’t done yet.
good question
The only thing I can think of, is a knock on Sam Altman?
or Ross
The Cybertruck beat the “F150” in the sled-drag competition flat out. Not sure which ford truck was used though.
The opening dancing robots was kinda unexpected. His comments in the Q&A about the Roadster being another 2+ YEARS out from production (considering the demo is later) was a bit disappointing. Elon’s view that the Optimus Bot will be the THING that brings Sustainable Abundance to the world was a big idea that is hard to grasp. And Elon’s opinion that “AI will actually be in charge” was equally hard to imagine. Oh, and the development of Ai5 hardware WITH quick succession to Ai6, Ai7 and Ai8 was kind of wild as I’m thinking “why not just make Ai8’s ideas into Ai5 NOW?” He said they kind of had a period where they lost their way with Ai5 but are NOW on the right path. OH, and I almost forgot a BIG one-Elon said he’s going to build a CHIP MAKING GIGA FACTORY because TSMC, Samsung (AND possibly even Intel) COMBINED would will not be able to keep up with Tesla’s need for CHIPS! Elon said he’s ALL ABOUT CHPS these days, so that comment about building a chip factory was pretty huge! That’s all I can think of right now-any specific questions just ask!Well…spill it. Give us your take. Unfiltered.
