This guy owns 800 shares. Why is he on TV.

[namefnames-jh]

I'd pay a guy 50B if he made my 50B into 500B. 73% of shareholders agree with me on this

[ElonMuskDailyLife]

FYI - This dude owns 800 shares ans gets tv time every week to trash Elon Musk as if he is the major #TSLA shareholder 🤡🤡

[DavidFuchs]

Actually it is a Referendum on you and people like you.

[dbf]

He’s got a lot to say for someone that has 800 shares. He acts like he has a massive holding. Reminds me of the guy that had 9 shares and sued and his lawyers that feel they deserve 5.3 billion in legal fees.

[tfozo]

This man is soo greedy, Elon rose Tesla from the ashes. He deserves it and a deal is a deal.

[my_RS]

Tesla not even in your top 10 Holdings Ross, why do you guys have this clown on??

[Koi-addict]

I only have five shares but i voted for elon

[markdc]

Ross, please. You need to take a vacation!

[faroukdain]

If not for Elon there is no Tesla. He has worked so hard double time and he was promised this package on performance and he has performed. Pay him and let him bring Tesla to new heights. Ross Gerber does not use common sense. He is looking for publicity.

[saldoug]

Ross runs a 20m dollar fund .. why is this dude on TV?

[vjkpatel]

Here is an unprincipled person. His opinion is not based on any facts. Extraordinary performance was delivered. Noise is not wise.

5 Elements of an Enforceable Contract - last time I checked, Elon Musk''s pay packages met all 5 elements !!!

[adrianmoore]

It's amazing how shortsighted these people are. They have a lot of money and they're only concerned about how much money has been made recently. This is what drives companies up until they cannot sustain growth anymore and become terrible for the end consumer destroying value and quality of life. I hope everyone like them loses all influence in business...

I mean the returns are freaking 10x already. HOW GREEDY CAN YOU BE?? Give Elon what was agreed upon.

[Fred-giuz]

If I worked for years under the assumption of a pay package that was agreed to by everyone and if I did what I said I’d do in which he did, then I’d dissolve the company and sell the assets and get the money owed to me, do you think if you screwed me on pay that I’d work more years for another pay package that you’ve already indicted you won’t honor and as a share holder, if you don’t honor the pay package, many will sell their shares because Tesla will die, who would by a car or anything from a company that don’t honor contracts

[truthteller]

What is this fool saying???....he has been doing multi project when you all were making money on him....give musk his paycheck

[hairtoss]

Tesla stock 2018 - $23
Tesla stock 2024 - $177
You guys are just butthurt.

[Theycallmeseanjackson]

I own no stock but I own a Model 3, used. Somehow Tesla will still make $1, 300 from me a year for the foreseeable future with FSD & Premium connectivity. I think he's doing a good job. What is this guy talking about??

[ShahbazAhmed-jcsn]

From $37K to $65K that's the minimum range of profit return every month I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
