if he wasn’t motivated to not tank tesla’s stock by being a vocal fascist… i don’t think this would motivate him to do anything good either
Me too. I’ll go first, and if it works, he can do it as well.
Nothing could possibly benefit that company as much as Elon Musk getting demotivated and no longer coming in to work.
Tesla getting a new CEO is the only way Tesla is going to win back the demographics that Musk chased away acting like a dumb toddler.
ie: the people who care about climate change enough to spend $40-100K on EVs of mediocre build quality.
I suppose his maliciously designed Truck will convert a few bro-dozers who need a new truck to commute in, but I don’t think it’ll help Teslas bottom line.
I don’t think you understand just how upset he’s going to be if he doesn’t get 46 billion.
He’s almost definitely going to call someone a pedo again.
I don’t even get out of bed for less than $2 billion.
How the hell can this not affect the morale of people working for this company? Even from a purely evil self-preservation standpoint that seems important to consider.
can this not affect the morale of people working for this company?
Are you saying they WON’T give 46 billion to everybody who works for this company?
How scandalous!
My company sold a part of our business, and I casually mentioned to our VP that it’s almost enough to buy everyone in the company a lamborghini. He didn’t seem to think that would be a good idea, but that stock buybacks and a big dividend would be…
Wow this is so hard on point!
Save $46 billion and have musk leave? Thats win-win if I’ve ever seen it.
If the stock wasn’t so overly valued based on Musk-lies I’d agree, but I think they’re in trouble either way.
Musk knows something unrelated that’s gonna bring down Teslas stock and this is how he’s gonna exploit it?
I’ll happily be their new CEO for a mere half a billion. I will be intensely motivated as such.
Seriously though, how can you pay a CEO this much money and actually believe that’s how much value you’re getting? Absolutely ridiculous. I imagine it’s a revolving door system where you and your buddies always vote each other up into bigger compensation packages.
Here’s the article; the link in the OP points to a discussion thread.
The chair ought to be questioning whether the company should continue to employ someone who needs that much “motivation”, not urging shareholders to give it to him.
That guy is probably getting pegged by musk for $1 billion per instance. It’s on his best interest musk has the money and needs to convince the board.
The chair is actually a woman.
He probably promised to knock her up.
Grab 5 of the top engineers, sales people, and marketing at the company, double their pay, and grant them a $1,000,000,000 bonus in 5 years time if they beat certain performance metrics. Have them sit on a board as coCEOs and watch true motivation. Kick out the guy that’s demanding 3 times your annual income as “motivational” compensation.
So basically, he wants his salary to be Twitter’s purchase price and some change. That seems totally reasonable as compensation.

I will stay motivated for only $45 billion.
You drive a hard bargain
I’ll do it for $44 billion.
You cheap bastard…
I’ll do it for three point fiddy billion
Well, so do I. I’d be so god damned motivated for 46 billion.
You better be motivated. Being a CEO is super hard work plus your genius ideas are required to propel the company to record profits.
I can see! Man could you imagine spending a full twenty hours a week socializing with your peers, traveling, or (*gasp*) even exercising!? Why, I’d barely be able to hold it together for my daily hour long “Business meal”!
God knows I’d never be able to soldier through like Musk, constantly promising things like “Mars colony in two years” every year (among other things)while still having the time to spend hours posting “!!” “Concerning” or “XD XD XD” until 3 am on Twitter. Why I probably wouldn’t even have the time to signal boost white supremacists and post dog whistles about we need more babies to stave off “the great replacement”.
Drugs are expensive, bro.
I remember when Bill Gates was the richest person on the planet with $45 billion total and it was covered in all the news. Things have gone more out of control than anyone could’ve imagined.
And Bill sold his soul honestly with hard work, not instead of it
