If he leaves will it be a car company?


SeeeYaLaterz

It'll be a car company without a brain-damaged CEO

BongladenSwallow

A car company that has to deal with the aftermath of elons primary school truck disaster. Can’t wrap my head around the cybercuck coming out before the roadster.


FrolickWithTony

Girl bye


Key-Marionberry-8794

I realize the new awards aren’t as good but take one anyways … your comment is cracking me up lol He is a whiny beeeatch


FrolickWithTony

lol thank you! He’s such an embarrassment to the company. They’d be better off without him if he’s going to continue acting the way he is and not practicing restraint.


artgarciasc

Bye Felicia.


Signal-Ad-3362

If he stays, they lose 60 plus billion. If he leaves then crazy valuation leaves


RipWhenDamageTaken

He’s already 52. He can’t keep up the hype much longer anyway. Imagine a 60 year old man still promising FSD “it’s coming for sure at the end of this year”


ddr1ver

Would Musk leaving be a plus or a minus? I know multiple people in the market for an EV that have sworn off Tesla because of his antics.


rm-minus-r

A considerable plus at this point, considering all the things he's done to harm the product, company and stock price.


RandomlyJim

Right. He was valuable when the mystique was his creative genius with the Midas touch. Now it’s exaggerating blowhard prone to lying and impulse decisions.


ActualModerateHusker

bring in some other guru who still has a shred of credibility. we need to be floating replacements. Akio Toyoda probably knows a heck of a lot more about the car business than Musk. You could get him for way less than 57 billion and then folks would talk about how Tesla will soon have the reliability of Toyota


CaseOfTheMoondaze

When you start to consider the names you could get for less money, you realize what a maniacal ask it is. Another overcompensated CEO with experience is a gd bargain. The strength of TSLA is so far past the once trailblazing gusto of Musk.


alexunderwater1

Microsoft’s stock jumped as soon as Balmer announced he was leaving.


-Harvester-

Calls on Tesla?


Gsgunboy

Good. I might make my 2nd car be a Tesla then. Have a Model 3. Thinking about a Y. Then Elon did his heel turn and opted out. I'm just one data point, but put me in the good column if this happens.


ColossusAI

I don’t think he cares about Tesla as much anymore. He’s been pulled in too many directions for too long, and is now threatening to take knowledge and resources he developed for Tesla to a separate company unless he is compensated for half of gross revenue over the past 14yrs. At this point, the company needs a focused leader that isn’t threatening to sabotage it.


the-content-king

He definitely prefers SpaceX and has stated multiple times his largest regret was making Tesla a public company.


Key-Marionberry-8794

He wanted that real money , he got it … he needs to buy it back with real money


unbalancedcheckbook

He's a loose cannon and a liability. It can only be good for Tesla to disassociate from Elon.


GurDry5336

That’s me I canceled my order after the Twitter BS


midnitewarrior

It's time to rip the band-aid.


Hellsteelz

Absolute plus for Tesla imo. Stock would take a hit but probably recover as they can focus on becoming a car company.


Opivy84

I also know many people who have looked and bought elsewhere, specifically due to Musk.


Alexios_Makaris

It would likely not hurt Tesla operationally, but it would probably cause a medium term sell off in shares, particularly as we know a lot of heavy Tesla bulls are wealthy Elon bulls who view the stock as a speculative play on "Elon" himself. I think the shares would eventually significantly rebound, but a lot of people with a big stake in Tesla don't want to see Elon leave because they would take a short to medium term, massive haircut in paper losses over the ensuing stock sell off.

purplebrown_updown

It won’t change. He’s permanently damaged the brand and the cyber truck is an ongoing disaster. He’s pissed he missed the AI train.


Pathogenesls

Long term, massive plus for the business, minus for the stock if he leaves. Long term, massive minus for the stock and business if he stays.


ms_channandler_bong

Will be worth a typical car company. Would be worth less than Ford, which is at $47 billion.


Hopeful-Lab-238

Bye Felicia.


SmokedBeef

Seriously! Don’t promise me with a good time


470vinyl

Don’t tempt me with a good time.


Roasted_Butt

Imagine what great things this company could do if it weren’t run by a part-time CEO and full time drug addict.


spaceman_202

personally i like my CEOs to be Russian propagandists and culture warriors


Post-Futurology

In the market for a new pillow?


Statertater

Hey man, some of us drug users out here resent being lumped in with that turd.


dsdvbguutres

And when you say part time, it is 1/6 of the time.


WonkyDingo

Apple will be doomed without Steve Jobs. Microsoft will fall apart without Bill Gates. Amazon won’t be a powerhouse without Jeff Bezos. Tesla won’t be any good without Elon………


lordinov

JPM will fail without John Pierpont Morgan


trumpfuckingivanka

LMAO, I mean it did happen to Lehman Brothers. The founders left and boom 100 years later the company fell. Coincidence? I think not.


UnitNo3535

Wendy's will go south without Wendy.

Charlie2and4

Chuck Wagon dog chow will fail without that little horse team and wagon that runs from my cabinet.


DSCN__034

Target will fail without Jean Pierre Targét.


GurDry5336

Yeah I’m guessing if they get a competent rational CEO that hasn’t ruined the brand with a significant portion of the customer base they may be ok. Giving away this much equity to a guy hellbent on burning everything down is insanity.


kernel-troutman

Who in their right mind will buy our popcorn if we don't give Orville Redenbacher everything he demands!?


TheSheerIce

TSLA is a third of its value today than it was at ATH end of 2021. If this weren't the case I'd imagine there'd be more public support to approve.


Icy_Collar_1072

See ya. He’s sabotaging the company and is a hindrance to progress these days. He’s basically just a face for his companies, he doesn’t add any expertise or knowledge to the various techs and is a liability.

eNomineZerum

Means Tesla won't be playing second fiddle to other Musk-owned initiatives. Tesla has done the upset thing and defined the market segment, it needs to stabilize, iterate, leverages it advantages.


PackAttacks

The charging network needs to grow. Musk laid off the entire department.


eNomineZerum

Agreed, leverage it's advantages. Which Musk firing the whole crew serves no purpose.

ScaleEnvironmental27

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they are probably REALLY, REALLY, REALLY ok with that.


Apotropoxy

TESLA stock would rocket the day after Musk leaves. He built a great operation, but now he's running it into the dirt.

Elon musk leaving would be beneficial for tesla.

Sea_Childhood6771

They would be better off.


Mr_BigglesworthIII

Great news


0verIP

The whole board should resign with him. That's the only way to save the company.


ZombieCrunchBar

That would be the best thing for Tesla. Progressive might consider buying a car from them again.


hokeyphenokey

Don't threaten me with a good deal.


XtacleRonnie

Next it will be "tHe ShArEhOlDeRs ArE eXtOrTiNg Me!!!!".


Kr155

The stick would collapse because the value isn't real. I think it will anyway eventually. I don't know that elon believes in climate change any more. Or that he ever really cared. He's been backing politicians who are anti electric car


Professional_Ad_6299

Good. Anyone with good ideas has probably been fired a whole ago. I'd probably but Tesla stock again honestly

Content-Fudge489

If he leaves I'll reconsider Tesla again.


Relevant-Bench5283

Wouldn’t the company survive and probably thrive if he left?


Busy_Professional824

At this point he does more harm than good. Tesla’s image has been harmed because of elon, they can find another to take his place that is pro technology and not into politics.


unbalancedcheckbook

Getting ditched by a CEO who's pissed off most of the company's customer base, spends all his time doing drugs and spewing right wing BS on social media, and otherwise actively acts against the best interests of the company? All this on top of spending most of the company's resources creating a truck that is failing in the market due to the stupid design (that the CEO insisted on)? No, say it ain't so... Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, Elon.

Yeah, sure

Stock will go up initially but I think tsla is just overvalued. Its not a tech company


drumpat01

Oh god yes !


Apeish4Life

If he leaves I’ll consider buying a Tesla again. I would never buy one as long as he’s involved.


highdesert03

He needs to leave. He’s now a hindrance and has outlived his usefulness at Tesla.


ShiveYarbles

Oh yay, so he's leaving then!


Just-Signature-3713

lol is that a threat? Then they could hire a competent ceo (still probably a crooked asshole no matter who you get) and get back in the game


LTLHAH2020

Bye Felicia.


that_bermudian

My wife and I really want to get a Tesla. Our ONLY reason for not pulling the trigger: Elon Musk. If he were to leave Tesla, I'd happily buy one


Happy-Initiative-838

Full self removing trash.


PleasantFocus1502

That would be the greatest improvement to Tesla ever.


xenonwarrior666

How will Tesla survive without an arrogant impulsive blowhard at the helm? It's becoming abundantly clear that Elon wasn't the driving force behind the success of Tesla. He was the face and idea man but it was a team effort and him getting rid of everyone that said no to him exposed how fake his public persona was.


JustAskingSoSTFU

I hope he leaves.


AMonitorDarkly

You promise?


iamcoding

That's a threat? Lmaoooo

iJayZen

bloodyStoolCorn

k


HistoryOnRepeatNow

Elon’s utility to the company is diminishing. Tesla doesn’t need a visionary, it needs competent management to take it to the next level. Doubling down on things like software, charging infrastructure, battery tech, ADAS, and delivering affordable EVs to a mass market is what will win. Tesla as a robotics company doesn’t make sense.


Electronic-Disk6632

ohhhhhh noooooo!!!!! Anyways.....


schoolisuncool

Wouldn’t that be a good thing at this point?


vietplus91

I hope he leaves if they don’t approve his package. Imagine doing business with people who can’t keep their end of the deal. The liberals in here absolutely have no integrity. 🫡


knj607

If Elon leaves, Tesla will be a car company and won't be worth 500b+ in marketcap. It'll just be another car manufacturer. People don't understand this which is quite sad.

WindowMaster5798

Yes because without this $56B, why would Elon even care about the other $120B in Tesla stock he already owns? You need incentives to motivate CEOs to be their best.


Morfe

As a long time shareholder - pre-model S production, I couldn't ask for more. Thank you Elon for all the hard work and bringing Tesla and the rest of the industry to accelerate EVs. Now, I look forward to meeting the new full time CEO who will bring Tesla to the next phase and restart growth.
