I'm kind of curious why Elon's hunt for "waste" doesn't include the multiple salaries he draws as CEO of various companies where he is clearly not in the office working, given that he's in D.C. firebombing the government all day. You'd think shareholders would be upset their CEO took off. - ThreadSky

One other crucial point: The WH now says Elon Musk is a special government employee. But this category is plainly for people who are part-time or have something more like an outside role. Musk is nothing like this.

I'd be willing to bet the shareholders are actually relieved...

cinnawind.bsky.social•22 days ago

Board of Directors are failing the shareholders and are in Musk’s pocket.

When CEOs make moves that Fox News doesn't like, GOP governors threaten lawsuits for "pursuing a political agenda at the expense of your shareholders," charging the companies w/ betraying their "fiduciary duty." Where are the blue-state inquiries into Elon and the six (!) companies he's not running?

Interesting. Maybe Tish James is on it already?

You need to post this on twitter where all the Dem congress people are. And ask them why they are hiding on the nazi site.

elon is an asshole. I don't think any of the various board members of those companies miss him all that much...

If looking for waste, start with the military. Then, animal farming subsidies.

He’s special alright, another junkie on government meds!

Tesla shareholders are ultimately Musk shareholders. They absolutely know how volatile that dingbat is, and are betting him to come out on top.

So far it's looking good for them.

jackbwuzhere.bsky.social•22 days ago

They are. $TSLA is down 40.00 in the last couple of weeks.
Sales have tanked in Germany.

Companies that knelt aren't doing terribly well.

He is hired for fraud and he is doing fraud. What else do you want?

pmurray63.bsky.social•22 days ago

The Tesla board is nothing but friends and family. They're not going to do anything.

grimflandango.bsky.social•22 days ago

I mean, yeah, but considering he seems allowed to do whatever he wants with government systems and processes without any legal or ethical roadblocks, the assumption is probably that this is gonna work out really well for shareholders soon enough.

Who does Musk speak for? The president? Then the administration policy is in support of the German neo-Nazi party where Musk spoke.
