In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns.
Just casually asking for a roughly 80 Billion dollar pay raise. But at this point would Tesla be better off without him?
You could always trade it in.
I hate to be that guy, but no one is forcing you to keep owning it and keep dumping money in Musk’s pockets every time you need it serviced.
You want him to go away but you keep handing him money. Curious.
Interest rates and depreciation make that a losing bargain, better to get the utility out of it now that the trade in is low and interest rates are high
In the 5 years I’ve owned my Model 3 it’s never needed any service. Only new tires. They are not even remotely as bad of a car as clickbait sites make them out to be. Yeah yeah Teslas aren’t perfect, but no car is. Be realistic.
It being associated with Musk and his crazy rants is annoying though. Almost annoying enough to trade it in, but I don’t particularly want to spend a bunch of money and getting rid of an almost like-new working car.
The recall of 2012-2023 models of the Model 3 tells me otherwise.
It’s actually an OTA update.
Which, and try to follow me here, would count as being serviced.
I’m being realistic. You’re embarrassed by it and association with Musk.
Musk is genuinely a bad person who is pushing bogus race science and other horrible unequivocal bullshit.
It’s great that it hasn’t needed service, but my point stands: once it needs service, you will be handing money to Elon Musk.
If you want him to go away that badly, there are things you could do. Like trading in your vehicle for another EV. There’s other brands, who are not run by a racist, misogynist, ableist, megalomaniacs.
You can complain on the internet all you want, but if you’re unwilling to find a way to not give him money, you’re just one more person with Elon’s foot stuck up your ass.
So send them the money to get a new car or stfu
