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?
Volvo’s EVs seem pretty nice
Also check out Volvos preformace/electric devision polestar.
IMHO, Polestars have a MUCH nicer cabin than Telsa. Also, Android Automotive with CarPlay.
The console is obnoxiously large though. I rented one and it felt like being back in a HMMWV.
Yeah, they should’ve taken a page out of the S60. That center console has some weird decisions.
I’ll still gladly take the Volvo / Polestar interior over Telsa’s cheap minimalist interior.
Just found out Volvo is owned by a Chinese investment group, not sure how I feel about supporting that either.
Is it even possible to ethically buy a car in this day and age?
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
what’s the difference between a Chinese investment group and a US investment group? They are both terrible. There’s no ethical mega corp, I’m afraid.
While your statement is accurate and I won’t necessarily argue it, I think it’s a bit simplistic in a nuanced world.
Racism
I felt the same way but ended up going with a volvo anyway because Chinese Investment or not, the company does at least try to make an effort to be more safe, ethical, and sustainable. Given the alternatives I made the decision that volvo was still the right car for me.
