i can understand why the shareholders have the right to sue, but from an investment standpoint, it seems crazy to spend years trying to sue the company into being responsibly managed. why wouldn't you just sell your shares and put your money elsewhere?

Yeah the lawsuit was filed around 2018 when TSLA was about $20. A year a ago it hit $400. He could possibly successfully argue that his other activities contribute to fulfilling his main duty as CEO: providing value to shareholders.

turning twitter into his "everything app" is guaranteed to fail just because it's already called twitter. does he think people are gonna say "oi, tweet me a bird dollar!" it just fails at an adoptable level

"PayPal me" sort of worked but is already outclassed, and as for using twitter's infrastructure for payments....lol,lmao even

It also will likely rule out mass adoption in parts of the world that have decent payment infrastructure. I could send money in two seconds from my banking app, or send a payment request link with a pre-filled value to the same effect. Why would I want to use a social media app that is full of Americans sending money to each other?

Edit: and yeah, PayPal has a 20 odd year head start on adoption for payments not covered by the above

oh I forgot how terrible US banking infrastructure is!

also, and I assume in the US this is not the case, banks got pushed into taking responsibility for people getting scammed in some areas so there are things like account owner name verification for transfers and AML/fraud processes, none of which elon would implement because he's a moron and apparently things that doing "send $1000 @weedlordbonerhitler420" is a good idea

paypal actually doesn't work all that well in a lot of big markets.
in india and turkey, for example, it's illegal for them to offer wallet services because it doesn't have a local bank license, so people can't keep a balance and it's just a credit card intermediary

local payment systems that do have a license (or have partnered with a local bank) are eating paypal's lunch. it helps that they don't try to impose american views on how money should work and have some local culture knowledge to inform their policies

reddit public sentiment (things that get posted in /r/all subreddits) shifted about 18 months ago - front page reddit loving hates Elon Musk and they finally understood how lovely and profoundly dumb Elon is.

There's still a smattering of bootlickers in the comments though. There's even a "realtesla" subreddit whose goal is to actively discuss tesla without impeding speech with having elons balls in the mouth of every poster.

Among the automotive enthusiast crowd, Tesla is almost universally despised. people pick up on the bad build quality and lack of dealer service.

Lately Ive been wondering what Tesla plans to do with their current lineup of cars. They havent restyled them since they came out and all the other manufacturers ev’s look space age and futuristic while teslas are starting to look more like a mid 90’s ford taurus. they’re gonna look antiquated quick

Any major refresh would need to be Elon Approved as sufficiently futuristic and cool (built in turbine! Transforming wheelbase! Quantum processor!) so it would be a poo poo show.
