And now you’re getting nothing. You’re a terrible leader

They all have to go

I figured they were hoping it would pass so they could generally point to in advance of some future xAI investment. If they don’t want it in the ballot they could have just excluded (ordinary biz). Weird one.

They seemed really unhappy about this result. Now I see why.

It doesn’t count unless your cell phone flies out of your pocket at the end…

Denholm said that battery storage/energy was the most exciting part of the biz at the start of the meeting… if you get what you measure, Tesla won’t be getting more batteries!

Battery storage is not even an operational target for his comp!

Nope! It’s a TOTAL of 20 million delivered, including the already installed base. Total layup.

The 20 million target in 10 years is a total layup, btw. Already, 8 million delivered (they count). That means, Tesla has to deliver 12 mill in 10 years. Last year it delivered what? 1.78 mill? Tesla could do materially worse and he would still hit that 20 mill in 10 years

Why DE ditched its reputation for this guy - a guy that already left them - will forever be a mystery to me.

Sleepy Joe?? Sleepy Don is more like it!

This was a weird vote. It has no legal effect whatsoever. I think the board was hoping for a warm, cozy blanket of approval that they could wrap around themselves to justify throwing a ton of money at xAI. But, the vote was more like a thin, cold sheet. Whatever. They’ll still throw money at xAI.

Just give him a little taste. He’s asking for it!
