Musk Says 'I Love You Guys' as Tesla Investors Back Compensation Package, Texas Move

Tesla investors voted for CEO Elon Musk’s compensation package and moving the company’s state of incorporation to Texas at its annual meeting Thursday in Austin. The pay vote is only advisory and doesn’t guarantee Musk will get his money.

Tesla General Counsel Brandon Ehrhart announced the results before welcoming Musk to the stage. As the crowd chanted for him, Musk said, “Hot damn, I love you guys,” adding that the electric carmaker has the “most awesome shareholder base.”

I wish the cyber truck had the same materials, but was a hybrid and shaped more like a work truck. It isobviously not going to be as adaptable as a ford, but a genuine work truck that I could run my tools of of would be greener than the current non-hybrid with the endurance only diesel gives. Make it B100 diesel.

Nice- payment in the form of stock options- with no capital gains tax, nothing like making the rich richer!

When genius mind with brain cells accelerating at constant speed to manage multi-billion dollar company you gotta stop for second and speak like a normal being.😂spaceking 👑

My goodness! After firing more than 10% of the workforce, removing the Supercharger team entirely, he’s celebrating a 56 Billion USD pay package! Let’s not forget all the failed promises (FSD is a joke, Semi is a joke, Cybertruck is a joke, Roadster is never happening, Robotaxis aren’t happening) The list is endless, and that was just a few examples from Tesla. I’d be writing a novel if I listed everything from xAI, SpaceX, Shitter and Neuralink

I can’t think of a single example of this level of narcissism and corruption.

Tesla shareholders show what common decency and morality look like.

[ThespaceDr]

If Musk gets 50 billion here, Tesla is screwed for real
