  • A trillion-dollar bonus for Elon Musk

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tuesday, September 09, 2025 06:38:22
    That's how much money Elon can expect if he achieves certain goals with Tesla.

    You might think these are impossible goals, but if we look at Tesla's market capitalization of $8.5 trillion, you have to factor in inflation. That goal is perhaps the easiest to achieve with Trump's policies: selling 20 million cars, 10 million of which will have a fully self-driving subscription. That's something that still needs a lot of work. One million robotaxis driving around.

    These are ambitious goals. If Elon achieves them, he'll get $1 trillion.

    Now the point is... How many lives will be ruined for that goal? Lives of employees who will be completely exploited and laid off when they burn out. They'll have to work long hours to make the boss extremely rich. Dickens might be turning in his grave because of the exploitation that will take place here.

    I think it's an incredibly sickening development. A man like Musk is going to set up his own gestapo within Tesla to track down and eradicate any element that even remotely opposes him. Unions? Over his dead body!

    Employee rights? Not if he has his way. Everything has to take precedence over his bonus. That's where this nonsense is headed, in my opinion.
