    The Tesla shareholders approved the plan. Basically, if the value increased to a certain level, Musk earned a bonus, if it didn't reach that level he got $0. It seems to me he more than earned the compensation.

    Seems there are details that say the law disagrees. Seriously doubt the judge is going out on that legal limb if it isn't certain. Whether it becomes political like the document case and quack cannon remains to be seen. Djt should be under house arrest, not headed for the wh. Historical lack of justice

    TSLA is way overvalued. It doesn't make any sense.

    valued based on being able to develop a robotaxi service of a fleet of electric cars.

    getting federal rules rewritten, relaxed, or written to favor Tesla while disfavoring others in the same space makes it more likely that this will happen. similar for environmental and space agency and faa rules governing spacex that elon has shown no use or respect for

    I don't know. That's still years away. On Oct 10, Tesla had an exhibition of a prototype robotaxi. Investors were so impressed TSLA stock dropped more than 8% the next day. But yeah, the recent rise in TSLA is based on the favoritism it is expected to receive from the Trump admin.

    How is this sole sourcing? NASA cost is so much higher so why would you pick them when there are cheaper options that can get the job done?

    There are 4 options for NASA in sending astronauts to space.
    1. Do it themselves, but they have no viable options for that right now.
    2. Boeing and the last attempt they had left their astronauts stranded on the ISS and they are still there.
    3. Pay billions to the Russians to do it.
    4. SpaceX where it is both cheaper and has a better record than any of the other choices.

    Humorous bumper sticker…..

    “Hiller told the Times that he initially sold about 5-10 "I Bought This Before We Knew Elon Was Crazy" bumper stickers a day, but as Musk became an increasingly outspoken Trump supporter, orders grew exponentially. Hiller said that he has sold about 18,000 stickers across 30 countries”
