He just got approved for that big $40+ billion compensation package from Tesla so he's got lots to work with.

A single billion is an obscene amount of money for an individual, I can't fathom how anyone can be worth/earn a billion in a couple of years.

Exploitation is the answer.

He works really really hard ;)

[–] Warp10Lizard@startrek.website 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah, you guys try making 20-30 xitposts a day. He deserves pay that is best expressed in scientific notation.

To me it's mental that stock holders would approve such package when company itself for its entire existence had income that is smaller than his "bonus". Some people are downright stupid.

Theyre wealthy not smart. The smart wealthy ones fade into obscurity, like Tom or that one distant uncle who lives in a cabin in the woods and juat kinda vibes.

What's absolutely insane to me, is that other CEOs think that's fair and fine and that Elon is very smart and not a con artist? No wonder Elizabeth Holmes got so far. It's just so obvious he's not above board

Most CEOs are also conmen and not any smarter. It's mostly just a nepotism racket at the executive level.

Don’t worry, he seems hard at work making sure all that Tesla stock he got will also be worth less everyday.

We ought to normalize this phrase, it's pure gold!
