The people who aren't buying Teslas because they hate Musk aren't gonna change their mind because he sold some stock. The company is tainted forever.
They won't a tiny amount.. But controlling share they might.
I can't afford a Tesla. However, my biggest concern is that musk will half arse firmware or sabotage the company somehow.
If he doesn't have controlling share, that's a win and I suspect quality control will likely improve too
Not forever. Just as long as he has a share of it.
...he didn't found the company, engineer the cars, systems, nor infrastructure: there's a lot of salvageable value in tesla if he goes away...
The only real engineering he's done is likely the boring company (who the duck wants to drive in a claustrophobic one lane tunnel) and the submarine thing the cave divers said wouldn't work (so he called them pedos)
He didn’t engineer anything because he doesn’t know how. At most he drew some kindergarten levels drawings on a white board.
The reality is.. He is an engineer. Not all engineers have good ideas.
The difference is, he won't accept criticism
I do software development and have had a few crap ideas (I once thought I could make a optimised OpenGL library using Matricies). The difference between normal people and him, is that when I got told it was a crap idea, I deleted the project. When he gets a crap idea, he attacks the person giving feedback, so there is NO incentive to provide anything but good feedback
When you're surrounded by yes men you'll only increasingly become over confident in yourself
No, Elon isn’t an engineer. He doesn’t have an engineering degree from an ABET certified school, no FE or PE license, nor does he understand basic engineering or design principles.
You can lick his boots and lie all you want, but Elon is a rich bitch trust fund baby who takes credit for the ideas of others and you defend him. It’s honestly sad, coming from a mechanical engineer, that you as someone who works in software development, would call him an engineer.
I mean i am too poor and don't need a car but i could see myself buying a tesla once elon really is gone and the other two factors change for me.
The board is filled with Elon sycophants equally as stupid as him.
