I just don’t feel comfortable building a robot army here, and then being ousted because of some asinine recommendations from ISS and Glass Lewis, who have no f**king clue. I mean those guys are corporate terrorists. Lemme explain the core problem here, so many of the passive funds vote along the lines of what ISS and Glass Lewis recommend. Now, they have made many terrible recommendations in the past that if those recommendations had been followed would have been extremely destructive to the future of the company. Now, If you’ve got passive funds that essentially defer responsibility for the vote to Glass Lewis and ISS, then you can have extremely disastrous consequences for a publicly traded company if too much of the publicly traded company is controlled by index funds. It’s de facto controlled by Glass Lewis and ISS. This is a fundamental problem for corporate governance, because they’re not voting along the lines that are actually good for shareholders. That’s the big issue, I mean, that’s what it comes down to. ISS Glass Lewis corporate terrorism. -Elon Musk, Tesla Q3 shareholder conference call, October 22, 2025

Not one more penny to this monster.

Is he revering to the self driving Teslas when he says 'robot army'?

[-] dumbass@aussie.zone 25 points 1 day ago

I have a trillion dollars down in my basement you can have Elon.

[-] Kissaki@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

He's on his way, but his car can't find its way

[-] dumbass@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Fuck, better hide my ketamine then.

[-] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I keep mine at the angle grinder factory. How about you come and get it, Elon?

[-] oftenawake@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

Extremely destructive to the future of the company, you say? Go on...?

[-] Teal@piefed.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Take a lot more drugs Elon. Be sure it's enough to permenently quiet that scrambled brain of yours.

In a time when the entire world seems to be suffering from unstable leadership, rising costs of everything because of the decisions of people like him, oppressive and invasive actions directed at some of the most vulnerable people.

All that and much more, but this person with a net worth of $479,200,000,000 (according to Forbes as of today) is crying for $1,000,000,000,000 more for a large group of toy robots.

Some people have nothing and go on to accomplish great things. He has everything and needs more handouts to do anything.

This picture describes it pretty well.

Or these fascists are distracting people from something important with these performances...

Because without that contract, TSLA is worthless.

I need 1000 Bitcoin to control the totally real AGI you should be scared of. Like really real and scary. Just around the corner guys. And it says I need those 1000 Bitcoin to control it.

Fucking Ted Faro wannabe.

This is a real picture of Elon musk's dick.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Far too large.

[-] timhayes1991@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Just wait until you have to pay a subscription to be on the "friend" list

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

He really needs $1 million, but he'll take the rest, just in case.

[-] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

The man is insane.

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah, well according to the Tesla board, he'll get paid $1 trillion if he makes Tesla the best selling car on the planet earth.

Just do it with your own money, Elon. All you have to do is one thing to get it. C'mon, "I love Telser," right? Run with that and see what you get.

they look like shit kinda. do they do anything useful?

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

They kill citizens who defy their fascist corporate overlords. So nothing to worry about.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well Musk’s quote there isn’t wrong.

Musk isn’t an engineer, but neither are those consultants. They should all be deferring to deeper within the company for technical decisions instead of conflating some sci fi literacy with practical decision making, and leave musk to making much coarser ones at most.
