Elon Musk would still own an enormous portion of Tesla, so if you want Elon to be punished you should never forgive Tesla for enabling Musk

Meh. The only possible reason to keep accumulating after a billion is for respect and power. I’m pretty sure Elon has fucked up both to the point where most of his money gets him nothing. I’m pretty sure he is headed to a “death of despair” type ending before long.

Basically we’re all just waiting for him to die of a ketamine overdose.

I feel so bad for him

Don’t despair Muskquito, people make new friends all the time, even entirely unlikable video game cheaters. There is a nonzero chance you might not die entirely alone. Don’t let the haters following logical trajectories get you down!

He can at the very least commiserate with Billy Mitchell.

As of February 28, 2025, Elon Musk owns approximately 12.8% of Tesla.

12.8% is not an enormous portion. It’s shocking how easily people spread misinformation.

He owns over 410 million shares and is the largest single shareholder. That is an enormous amount

It’s under 13% so while he’s the largest single owner, he still doesn’t own an enormous amount. He could easily be bought out.

Your continued support is appreciated. I pledge to not turn Tesla into anything more/less mediocre then it currently is.

I volunteer as tribute if it means I can get fired in 6 months for my incompetence and be provided with a $25 million dollar severance package.

The board needs to not only punt Elon, they need to buy him out.

I’ll consider Tesla as an option a decade after he’s been scrubbed from the company.
