    In the market these days, it’s not what you’re making now but the future potential of what you might make in the future. And Musk is an expert in dreaming big and make other people believe it.

      Ya most of his shit is stupid though. The cyber truck, terra forming mars with nukes, the hyperlopp, etc. The Tesla dream was there before him. I just don’t get it…

        Because it’s nonsense. We’re a decade past the promised rollout of full self driving, the hyperloop is a failure, the cybertruck is a flop, China makes EVs significantly better and cheaper than Tesla. The batteries they’re selling are looking more and more likely to get leapfrogged by solid state batteries too. Half the world refuses to touch anything his companies produce.

        Tesla stock should be in the shitter, but results don’t matter anymore.

          the hyperloop was an actual scam to stop claifornias fast rail system from being developed, long enough for elaine chao to block its funding.

        Hyperloop was Musk’s tactic to distract from and destroy sensible public transportation. Tesla didn’t work on it or plan for it.

        It appears to me that your average human isn’t particularly smart so this hasn’t been to his detriment yet.

      And Musk is an expert in dreaming big and make other people believe it.

      And has a near flawless record in achieving those dreams, making the people who believed in it filthy rich.

      This pay packet is, like his last one, a “bet big on me and I’ll make you all insanely rich, or I get nothing” bet. It makes no sense why anyone would say no to it.

        He hasn’t achieved those dreams at all with Tesla, or any other company that he actually runs. Over a million unsold cybertrucks. No actual autopilot that works. The cybertruck is 17 times more flammable than a Ford Pinto.

        Elon Musk is an average intelligence fascist scam artist that happened to have a golden spoon in his mouth from day one.
