“Musk’s team said it saved the country $115 billion by slashing wasteful and redundant spending. Not everyone agrees, but he feels he has the country on track and he can step aside.”

This has got to be because he was going to get fired from Tesla if he didn’t, right?
No, this is him lying again. He runs the country, he isn’t stepping down from anything, he is trying to disconnect his name from the shitstorm.
You have no proof of that…
proof isn’t wanted here. people are outraged. they’re not gonna calm down
What good is outrage at something that may not even exist?
It is because they classified Musk as a Special Government Employee, which can only be employed for 130 days out of the year. The article references the 130 days, but doesn’t say anything more about it.

The board is completely under his control, so that’s unlikely. It’s probably more about Tesla’s stock price.
Jokes on him. This isn’t going to save Tesla. He’d have to get kicked out of the company permanently, and then it would be a slow climb to build back any trust.
I wouldn’t be surprised if another car company buys Tesla on the cheap at some point, and changes its name (or just adopts the branding of the buyer company).
Their development seems to be very slow and Elron can’t focus on them as a car company. And obviously, while they were expected to solve FSD before the completion, they’re not, and meanwhile focus turned to things like their stupid robot. The real models haven’t been updated in years while meanwhile they released a horrific travesty of a truck. Tesla may still have some useful technology but they’re being rapidly left behind while their CEO goes on deranged power trips with the government.
Elon focusing on them as a car company is where that horrific travesty of a truck and the stupid robot came from, not to mention the false promises of FSD. I think Tesla is better of without Elon’s focus.
The thing is recently when he thinks about Tesla, it’s stupid AI crap and things like the robot. So not only is he detracting with idiocy like the CT, but also distracting Tesla from what is supposed to be their real focus.
Useless almost-pickup-trucks and union busting?
That’s Elron’s style, too. What they should have been doing instead of the inane CT is updating their normal vehicles. They make incremental improvements but they’re looking pretty aged at this point.
I’ve never looked at them as serious vehicles because of the whole “everything is computer” thing. Touch controls for absolutely everything is insane.
