In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns.

Just casually asking for a roughly 80 Billion dollar pay raise. But at this point would Tesla be better off without him?

    He sold 10% to buy twitter. Maybe he shouldn’t have made himself legally obligated to buy it?

      Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

      He sold the shares, why should Tesla reimburse him for his folly? If he wants to have those shares back, he can rebuy them on the open market, just like anybody else would do.

      You are correct, and to this day if he hasn’t his family’s money, i guess he wouldn’t be as successful, I mean all.those bad decisions would made a small business going into the red really fast.
