Comment on Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla

Well, so much for the altruist Elon Musk who uses his genius intellect to make the world a better place out of the goodness of his heart and the shared benefit of humanity. if he actually gave a shit, he wouldn’t care if his compensation package was $1. He would supposedly be doing the work he is the most passionate about and cares the most about.
Nah. Richest man in the world says it’s more important that he gets paid first. He’s always been a fraud.

If you only read the headline (and maybe even the article) you miss the point.
He’s saying he doesn’t trust Tesla to develop AI/Robotics if he doesn’t have enough control (shares), as he’s afraid what they’ll do with AI otherwise, and without another compensation package that would give him that control, he’s going to hold Tesla back on the AI front (him saying this is probably breaking numerous laws as well, especially given he has an AI company)
It’s his same AI is going to doom the world if it’s not done right, and only I can protect us though, this isn’t really something new.
But as to your point, it isn’t actually about the money, it’s about more control of Tesla. He doesn’t actually care about the money and if there was a way to give him more voting control without giving him more shares, he’d be okay with that too, but that in itself isn’t a simple feat or necessarily possible.
But FUCK HIM, he gave up that control to piss it always on Twitter. If keeping control of Tesla was so important, you shouldn’t have fucked up, and fucked over all the shareholders in the process.
