everything musk is doing is decently explained by him being a fuckhead, but burying the charging network legitimately makes me suspicious his business relationship with the saudi's includes active sabotage of ev adoption

Sometimes have a hard time believing that this is a publicly traded company and the biggest thing on the shareholder’s plate is whether or not to give the erratic megalomaniac who runs it based on memes and the last last drug he did an earth shattering bonus.

This is slightly different than the stories I saw earlier that said she was refusing to make any cuts. She had already cut 15-20%, hypothetically more than the across the board cuts he asked for, and that still wasn't good enough for Musk? Not surprising but just SMH.

I went looking for updates on the whole Tesla Semi project yesterday just because I realized I hadn’t heard much about it since it kinda soft launched. Seems like any sort of big deployment absolutely requires a large dedicated charger buildout.

The next story down from this being about Tesla's board lobbying investors to approve Musk's $56 billion (yes BILLION) pay package made for quite the contrast. Not to mention it being a stark example of the exploitative & greedy rot at the heart of too many companies.

I would not be surprised if it came out that what happened is that Elon went "off topic" and she said no to his sexual advances. But whatever it was, this is what happens when you say "no" to Elon these days. He's grown resistant to managing up.

There's an interesting developmental stage between about 2-4 years old where children often lie because they don't have a grasp on how words relate to reality and actions lead to consequences. It usually coincides with explosive tantrums for the same reasons. Anyway, what were we talking about? :)

"Musk, the employees said, was not pleased with Tinucci’s presentation and wanted more layoffs. When she balked, saying deeper cuts would undermine charging-business fundamentals, he responded by firing her and her entire 500-member team." Fuck that's so stupid. Most divorced man ever.

Anyone considering a Tesla battery as part of their solar setup should rethink their options. Also an equally interesting story is his reversal. Did some big shareholders balk? Is it a fake PR move to squelch a segment of opposition to his outrageous multi-billion compensation package?
