    Remember, Elon Musk is doing what Tesla leadership want him to do.

    If you don’t like what Elon Musk is doing, then do not give money to Tesla in any of its forms.

      Ehhhhh I’m not sure that’s accurate.

      Elon is doing what Elon wants and they have tried to talk him down (or at least Robyn and his brother have), but that’s as far as they’re willing to go. (Edit: I guess I should add, tried to talk him down/warn him about it being so public. Maybe they don’t care and fully agree if it wasn’t public)

      They don’t want him to, but they also won’t stop him.

      The outcome is the same, the board is useless.

        There are nine people on Tesla’s board. Elon and Kimball Musk are two of them. I can’t imagine the rest are anything but loyalists.

          They are all family, friends, loyalists.

          It doesn’t mean they agree with what he’s doing, but they’ll support him as CEO regardless.

          The board is not independent.

            A distinction without a difference.

              Ya, I generally agree.

              We should always strive to try to be correct though, as sometimes those distinctions do make a difference even if it’s somewhere else at another time.

              You start piling up incorrect distinction over incorrect distinction and eventually you have a very different picture of why or how something maybe happened for example.
