Because he is the one tanking their stock and if they had any activist shareholders (they likely do), they would be crowing from the rooftops that Musk was now in an "advisory role only" or whatever just like Papa John.

That lawsuit about his 55 billion pay package is an activist lawsuit, just using a guy with 7 shares as the proxy so the institutional investors don’t get blowback. So it’s possible they are pushing back.

It’s not likely to win, but boy howdy if it does. That would be a massive amount of wealth for Elon to lose, some of which is undoubtedly leveraged against.

"potentially spammy" - This warning screams "Elon wrote this and we had to copy-paste it so he wouldn't fire us."

Jokes on you, I put my pedo-proof personal submarine capsule on the roof.

As I engage the capsule dismount and enter it, leaving my temporary boatcar to sink to the deeps, I select the emergency rescue mode.

But I have forgotten to pay my subscription for that.

I mash the pay buttons, but at the pay screen, realize I left my wallet in the car.

I attempt to leave, I can at least swim, but the door hatch is malfunctioning.

I press the button for tech support and am placed in a 2 hour hold cue.

I bang fruitlessly on the spacecraft grade aluminum shell as my escape pod is sucked into the intake of the hydroelectric dam the autopilot missed hitting a cyclist for and put me in this loving lake.

Can't find an international source at the moment, but Twitter 2.0 just lost it's first case here in Germany in regard to hate speech. Was all over the evening news here, so I guess it'll drop soon. Basically was just a slap on the wrist that Twitter HAS to remove targeted hate speech (in this case unfounded accusation of pedophilia) if the target reports it to Twitter, which they apparently haven't in the past.

yes? That has nothing at all to do with public perception though, other automakers have been treating it as an interesting technology they'd like to develop and sell as a mature product for decades, Tesla didn't wait to have a working product and just went straight to treating it as the cornerstone of their advertising and choking the roads with thousands of "beta tests"

Conventional automobiles aren't really a growth industry and they need something they can present to investors as The Next Big thing, because if they say "Well we're going to keep on selling the same stuff we always have but our prices and volumes are probably going to gradually decline" then the board gets taken out behind the woodshed.

It's OK for this purpose that this is a target 5+ years away so long as they can present some kind of a roadmap and progress.
