And Musk is an expert in dreaming big and make other people believe it.
And has a near flawless record in achieving those dreams, making the people who believed in it filthy rich.
This pay packet is, like his last one, a “bet big on me and I’ll make you all insanely rich, or I get nothing” bet. It makes no sense why anyone would say no to it.

Ya most of his shit is stupid though. The cyber truck, terra forming mars with nukes, the hyperlopp, etc. The Tesla dream was there before him. I just don’t get it…

Because it’s nonsense. We’re a decade past the promised rollout of full self driving, the hyperloop is a failure, the cybertruck is a flop, China makes EVs significantly better and cheaper than Tesla. The batteries they’re selling are looking more and more likely to get leapfrogged by solid state batteries too. Half the world refuses to touch anything his companies produce.
Tesla stock should be in the shitter, but results don’t matter anymore.

the hyperloop was an actual scam to stop claifornias fast rail system from being developed, long enough for elaine chao to block its funding.

Yup, but they actually built one in Vegas. It’s a joke. It’s two Tesla with drivers going about 25mph in tunnels.

Hyperloop was Musk’s tactic to distract from and destroy sensible public transportation. Tesla didn’t work on it or plan for it.
