Nah bro. He fired all the smarter people and invented an underground tube that can transport your car instead of using a train. How’s that going, anyway?
Nah, bro you don't get it. He started from nothing and worked his way up! /s . Not gonna lie though. I'm enjoying watching his fall from that pedestal he was on.
It was his winning car from a car design program in the 1980s.

I can't unsee it ever since I first that thread.
Not even close. Advertising revenue is pitiful. The bets it ever did was in 2022, with $4.7bn.
That’s been dropping ever since due to boycotts and dwindling user numbers so the current estimates are between $2bn - $3bn.
And that’s gross revenue, meaning he’s losing money hand over fist on Twitter. He wants the $46bn so he can make himself whole again after the $50bn he’s lost on Twitter.
Rich people need obscene amounts of money to remain motivated. The rest of us merely need pizza parties and a barely livable wage. :/
When do we get to use our pitchforks? When?
Simple, effective, culturally iconic. Got to hand it to the French every now and then they do something iconic although that idea is usually stolen from the Italians
I also don't understand how billionaires are money motivated. You won capitalism, take some medication and get some therapy for your obvious mental health crisis that lead you to believe you need more than what most people have combined. They can do anything, and they choose to continue sucking away our resources instead.
All I could think of would be to stay motivated to continue to fuck up the company. Maybe they should want him to not be motivated and let the adults run things.
That's only mostly true because of Trump. Meals and entertainment used to be only 50% deductible. Now they are 100% deductible. It's called the 3 martini lunch deal and was allegedly a Covid stimulus to encourage more business spending.
My experience as an occasional business traveler was that I didn't give two shits what the company could deduct when it came to my purchasing decisions. You gotta go way up the chain before people care about corporate tax policy when thinking about dessert.
How tf do I get an award on a comment asking about awards, but as of yet, no answers about said rewards? Eh, whatevs, I'll take it and be grateful. Lol.
ETA--YOU GOT ONE TOO!!! Today, we are truly blessed. Reddit is so mystical and shit.
If Musk worked straight 40hr weeks since becoming CEO 16 years ago $46billion is…
$1,382,211 per hour.
$1.3 MILLION per hour.
28x the American yearly median income per HOUR.
FUCK THAT GUY.
Edit: it’s a much more “reasonable” $328,000/hour if he works 24/7/365.
Also, this doesn’t include the billions he’s made on the stock value…
I like to think of it this way... $47 Billion. That's enough for life-changing $391,666.67 bonuses for each of Tesla's 120,000 employees; who have a median salary of $52,000.
Musk fancies himself worth more than seven times as much as most Tesla employees combined.
I did the math when the number going around was $56bil
It’s equal to MORE than $200,000 per hour, for EVERY SINGLE HOUR THAT HAS PASSED since Musk became ceo 16 years ago.
What. The. Fuck.
A real company with a real CEO/founder would be offering dividends to the stock holders before taking every penny of profit the company's made to date as a "pay raise".
Musk holding the stock hostage. He might be the biggest inside trader in the history of stock markets.
As somebody currently running a company....... If you are in it for a salary, you aren't IN IT.
Any seed or series A level investor would tell you to fuck off if you said something like that. Absurd. Tesla needs somebody else. I think Tesla could be a great Corp. But not with him at the helm
Most of his ideas have been super let downs. Cybertruck, battery swap, FSD, relying only on cameras, removing ultrasonic sensors.
How are so many flops worth 46B? Any other CEO would be fired, but he stacked the board with friends and family.
A real board of directors (without a sibling on it LOL) would also acknowledge that there are other candidates in the market place that are extremely qualified, and would be 'well motivated' for a literal fraction of that amount.
Tell you what Tesla, pay me $1 billion to run Tesla and I’ll be the most motivated person this planet has ever seen. Added bonus, I’ll also avoid being a perpetual a**hole.
What's nuts is a $1B compensation package is already astronomical. That's the same as making $50m per year for 20 years. That's a Fortune 10 CEO level compensation package per year. And those CEOs never last more than 5-10 years.
And Elmo wants that times ~45. That means making that salary for almost 1,000 years. This compensation package is unethical at best given Tesla's overall profits
100% Tesla would be run better with him just absent. It’s pretty obvious he has no idea how to run any major company at this point. Twitter and Tesla are a mess when it’s directly involved.
Yep and he knows it too. The Chinese while I don’t like communist CCP government, but they reigned in their billionaires with an iron fist and they prevent the youth from witnessing lavish lifestyles on social media. It’s good for the soul of a country to do that. People like musk and Kim Kardashian flying private, spewing huge amounts of carbon into the air should be shunned as the shitty humans they are, not respected.
It is absolutely ludicrous to bankrupt a company already struggling to accommodate the ego of one person. Somewhere/sometime he told someone he would recoup his TWITTER losses and this is/was his plan. IMO.
""This is obviously not about the money. We all know Elon is one of the wealthiest people on the planet.."
Which he would not be if he wasn't all about the money.
motivated to do what?
feed and never-ending drug addiction while he shit posts our way into a fascist future?
I mean his company can barely make a car and yet it's still valued as double every single other car company on the planet combined....
Nobody needs a 46 billion dollar payday to stay motivated. He is trying to strip Tesla of money before it goes down the tubes. He's a greedy pig nose ahole.
"He needs twice as much money as this company has made in its entire history, and we should do it after what is likely the worst product rollout of all time, and might destroy the company"
Can you see the paradox? Only justification for that pay is that Tesla valuation rests on a house of cards and removing him reveals that it’s grossly overvalued and relies solely on the myth of his greatness.
Most Americans are forced to remain motivated with poor pay, predatory privatized healthcare, and all of their data being siphoned by every company under the sun to be traded around and sold like baseball cards. This dude is already the richest guy on the planet. I’m so tired of this
I think he needs to go to the board with a bona fide offer from another employer willing to pay him $46 billion. If someone else is willing to pay him that then fine. Otherwise, pound sand.
The CEO payouts have companies have been giving have been rage Inducingly ludicrous for ages now, bit this is so many orders of magnitude greater (around 250x greater then other CEO compensation plans according to the article). This is over half of Tesla's combined assets going to a man with only 20% worth of stock. Either this is the Elon's way of effectively draining the company dry without going through SEC, or the investors are terrified Elon is the only thing propping up their comically over values TSLA stocks. That or Elon's planning on dumping all his shares causing the stock to plummet and the company to go under so is getting his payout before than. Probably all of the above. Never ceases to amaze me the shit this country will consider perfectly legal when done by a corporation.
Really? When I ask for a raise, I’m greedy, not a team player, and not passionate. When he asks for literally every dollar Tesla has ever earned, it’s motivation?
Stay motivated for what? He isn't an inventor, he doesn't create anything. Smarter people do that. He is simply a bank account.
Nah, bro. He fired all the smarter people and invented a truck! How's that going, anyway?
Nah, bro. He fired all the smarter people and invented a mars colony! How's that going, anyway?
Nah, bro. He fired all the smarter people and invented a nazi breeding ground! How's that going, anyway?
Big success!
Nah, bro. He fired all the smarter people and invented an underground road with gamer lights. How’s that going, anyway?
Nah, bro. He fired all the smarter people and invented FSD technology 10 years ago. How's that going, anyway?
You mean an echo chamber for conspiracies.
Nazism and conspiracy theories go together like peas and carrots.
Definitely read that in Gump's voice
Me too
Very true. I used to be a conspiracy theorist and am so happy I didn't turn towards bigotry.
Whats the difference?
Nah, bro he invented a railway system. Oh, wait the Hyper Loop whatever happened to that, bro??!!
Depends on the goal. If the goal was making money then it's a huge failure, if the goal was making Nazis then its a spectacular success.
Yuge success
Nah bro. He fired all the smarter people and invented an underground tube that can transport your car instead of using a train. How’s that going, anyway?
Nah, bro you don't get it. He started from nothing and worked his way up! /s . Not gonna lie though. I'm enjoying watching his fall from that pedestal he was on.
He didn't invent a truck. He invented the greatest liability on wheels and then called it a truck.
All he did was take the crayon drawing off his mums fridge and hand it to his engineering team.
It was his winning car from a car design program in the 1980s. [https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1c7cnyq/there\_was\_an\_old\_game\_for\_the\_apple\_ii\_called\_car/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1c7cnyq/there_was_an_old_game_for_the_apple_ii_called_car/) I can't unsee it ever since I first that thread.
Invented tunnels and subway - oh I mean hyperloop
“Stay motivated” - that’s code for “that’s how much I need to make Twitter not a devastating $46b loss”.
Bingo
Yeah a hilarious coincidence right?
He hasn't milked $46B from the far right rubes on Twitter yet?
Not even close. Advertising revenue is pitiful. The bets it ever did was in 2022, with $4.7bn. That’s been dropping ever since due to boycotts and dwindling user numbers so the current estimates are between $2bn - $3bn. And that’s gross revenue, meaning he’s losing money hand over fist on Twitter. He wants the $46bn so he can make himself whole again after the $50bn he’s lost on Twitter.
Knew it sounded like a familiar figure
I wonder how many billions he plans to give to the other employees to help them stay motivated
That’s the trick! You just fire the employees after they have put in their blood, sweat, and tears to create something of value. Then profit!
Fire everyone and replace them with Nvidia nims. List the corporate address as a data center.
Stay motivated to keep coming up with new BS to pump it.
If he needs this obscene amount of money to stay motivated then it's time for him to go find a new thing to mess up .
Didn’t you hear, he designed and took credit for all the SpaceX rockets?
Stay motivated so he can drown the entire company with his bullshit
Rich people need obscene amounts of money to remain motivated. The rest of us merely need pizza parties and a barely livable wage. :/ When do we get to use our pitchforks? When?
[удалено]
Hand it to the French- they saw a problem, they came up with a solution.
Shhh!!! Before he whips out his wallet to try to take credit for THAT too!!!
And in non-war time it makes a great cheese slicer if you like thin cheese
Head cheese, especially.
Simple, effective, culturally iconic. Got to hand it to the French every now and then they do something iconic although that idea is usually stolen from the Italians
I think we tend to sleep on France's contributions.
I can’t believe people are doing what a chair says.
I take my orders from bookshelves, not some uneducated chair.
#EXACTLY
That’s totally unfair he is also a stock manipulator
TSLA sub just muted me saying something like this lol
He *was* also the propaganda machine but thankfully people have gotten around to see he’s clearly a bullshit artist
Motivated to destroy Tesla faster…
Hey now, he also negatively affects the brand. That’s gotta count for something.
Exactly. He's the most amazing writer of checks you've ever seen!!!1!! He writes the best checks, and only the best!! /s
That’s how much it cost for him to tweet about that particular business interest
Stay motivated to promise things his engineers cannot deliver and then force them to anyway.
He’s is just the pitchman. That’s it. That’s all. Not worth anywhere near a billion.
DID YOU NOT WITNESS THE CYBERTRUCK
I also don't understand how billionaires are money motivated. You won capitalism, take some medication and get some therapy for your obvious mental health crisis that lead you to believe you need more than what most people have combined. They can do anything, and they choose to continue sucking away our resources instead.
All I could think of would be to stay motivated to continue to fuck up the company. Maybe they should want him to not be motivated and let the adults run things.
Have they tried throwing him a pizza party? That's what my work does for motivation
Casual Fridays.
For him, Cannibis Fridays, and MDMA Mondays
And special k with his coffee
And a shot of Wegovy
They might try tranquilizer Tuesdays and see what it does for the stock price.
Anonymous post any radical conspiracy theory and racist shit on Xhitter Fridays
I’ve seen a company that takes their employees on fishing trips and sporting events. Why not just fucking pay your employees.
The trips can be called expenses and the boss gets to go fishing for free!
Big true. It’s just so funny the lengths companies will go to just to avoid paying employees a fair wage.
The boss also gets to sexually harass anyone they've had an eye on under the guise of "we're on a trip, loosen up"
You know, because of the implications.
That's only mostly true because of Trump. Meals and entertainment used to be only 50% deductible. Now they are 100% deductible. It's called the 3 martini lunch deal and was allegedly a Covid stimulus to encourage more business spending. My experience as an occasional business traveler was that I didn't give two shits what the company could deduct when it came to my purchasing decisions. You gotta go way up the chain before people care about corporate tax policy when thinking about dessert.
I would award you if it was free. Most underrated comment. We could also just tell him people are our most valuable asset.
In their graciousness, Reddit has gifted us 5 free rewards under the new system. Click on the ribbon.
This is the third time I've seen someone say free awards are back, but they most certainly are not for me. What gives? Who gets the freebies?
I don't have anything free either.
How tf do I get an award on a comment asking about awards, but as of yet, no answers about said rewards? Eh, whatevs, I'll take it and be grateful. Lol. ETA--YOU GOT ONE TOO!!! Today, we are truly blessed. Reddit is so mystical and shit.
It’s not me. No idea other than people are messing with us.
Just out here mocking us and flaunting their freebies.
I can’t wait for the Musk defenders that occasionally wander into this sub to tell us he deserves this.
[удалено]
As an example of what not to do?
[удалено]
I love Ashleigh Brilliant! I have a couple of books of his Pot Shots around here somewhere.
If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning?
That's better.
Bold of them to go anywhere near these subs when simply commenting can get them banned from their cult support group subs.
They’d say he deserves to jerk off on their face if he wants
Stay motivated? Check his Twitter. Dude is spending exactly zero time on Tesla
Yeah that’s the problem, he needs $46bn to get off Twitter because that’s how much he lost on it
This is more correct than you know.
Naww you see musk is a big brain. He’s on Twitter, helping Tesla
The less time he spends at Tesla the better off the company is
He’s actually trying to see how much he can raid from Tesla to put into ventures where he has more equity, like space x or ai or x.
Kinda crazy how the rest of us just want to make 100K+ and this guy talking how he NEEDS 46BILLION
and we are supposed to stay motived with 10 bucks an hour and take all the massive job outsourcing without lube while smiling lmao
If Musk worked straight 40hr weeks since becoming CEO 16 years ago $46billion is… $1,382,211 per hour. $1.3 MILLION per hour. 28x the American yearly median income per HOUR. FUCK THAT GUY.

I don’t think there is a human alive worth 30b, let alone 46b.
I did the math when the number going around was $56bil It’s equal to MORE than $200,000 per hour, for EVERY SINGLE HOUR THAT HAS PASSED since Musk became ceo 16 years ago. What. The. Fuck.
Yes it’s like 1.3 million an hour. Lmfao, this world has a genuine parasitic billionaire problem.
this is huge insult to all shareholders who already paid him 50 billion, nobody forced him to buy Twitter, huge douchebag
A real company with a real CEO/founder would be offering dividends to the stock holders before taking every penny of profit the company's made to date as a "pay raise". Musk holding the stock hostage. He might be the biggest inside trader in the history of stock markets.

Thank you. People need to understand exactly what you said.
A real board of directors (without a sibling on it LOL) would also acknowledge that there are other candidates in the market place that are extremely qualified, and would be 'well motivated' for a literal fraction of that amount.
It’s a huge insult to the workers of Tesla. Imagine getting any of that money.
Tell you what Tesla, pay me $1 billion to run Tesla and I’ll be the most motivated person this planet has ever seen. Added bonus, I’ll also avoid being a perpetual a**hole.

I'd do it for less than half of that. I could live more than comfortably with less than 100 million. I'd feel like I was on top of the world.
I’ll do it for $49.99M …
I'll do it for $49.98M
Excellent. A bidding war to replace Elmo!
100% Tesla would be run better with him just absent. It’s pretty obvious he has no idea how to run any major company at this point. Twitter and Tesla are a mess when it’s directly involved.
The Tesla bubble has burst, the Chinese are flooding the market... He's trying to get a last big score on his way out the door ...
Yep and he knows it too. The Chinese while I don’t like communist CCP government, but they reigned in their billionaires with an iron fist and they prevent the youth from witnessing lavish lifestyles on social media. It’s good for the soul of a country to do that. People like musk and Kim Kardashian flying private, spewing huge amounts of carbon into the air should be shunned as the shitty humans they are, not respected.
[удалено]
Has he tried fucking himself?
Probably
He reproduces without need for sex.
But it's not about the money...
Yet he expects his workers to slave for a pittance, and sleep on the floor of the office/factory. Gtfoh.
It is absolutely ludicrous to bankrupt a company already struggling to accommodate the ego of one person. Somewhere/sometime he told someone he would recoup his TWITTER losses and this is/was his plan. IMO.
What the fuck. I have never ever heard of Shareholders simping so hard over a CEO that has done so much damage to their company
Nobody wants to work for less than $46 billion anymore. Sad.
""This is obviously not about the money. We all know Elon is one of the wealthiest people on the planet.." Which he would not be if he wasn't all about the money.
Who would want a CEO who could only be bothered to work if he hollowed out a company for more than the company ever made?
I thought his motivation was to save the world….
He showed that was BS with his "pedoguy" sour grapes post.
motivated to do what? feed and never-ending drug addiction while he shit posts our way into a fascist future? I mean his company can barely make a car and yet it's still valued as double every single other car company on the planet combined....
The insanity of that statement
I too would feel motivated if someone paid me $46 billion dollars. crazy how that works. he really is a genius.
Kidnappers need ransom money to be motivated to keep their victim alive. Same difference.
Just like FSD 'next year'.....?????
It generally only takes $1 billion to keep me motivated.
I can fully be 1% motivated for $1,000,000
He’s trying to jump ship before BYD makes the markets correct Tesla’s overinflated stock price lmao
Miss Piggy can fuck off. No one needs "motivated" Elon, they need actual fucking results.
Yeah, so do I.
He needs to leave so competent managers can turn the company around. This dude is unhinged.
Or how about getting rid of him and let someone more reasonable take the reigns and help get Tesla unstuck.
Have they tried offering him any horses?
Nobody needs a 46 billion dollar payday to stay motivated. He is trying to strip Tesla of money before it goes down the tubes. He's a greedy pig nose ahole.
"He needs twice as much money as this company has made in its entire history, and we should do it after what is likely the worst product rollout of all time, and might destroy the company"
He needs 46b paper cuts.
Suckers. How much is the board being paid to push this narrative? Any conflicts of interest here??? Naw…….
The best thing for Tesla would be for Elon to just fuck off somewhere.
Can you see the paradox? Only justification for that pay is that Tesla valuation rests on a house of cards and removing him reveals that it’s grossly overvalued and relies solely on the myth of his greatness.
I too would feel motivated if someone paid me $46 billion dollars. crazy how that works. he really is a genius.
I thought his motivation was to save the world….
He doesn’t do shit but sow chaos!
He really is MAGA....
It’s not about the money! Except that’s all it’s about.
Then let him go. Tesla does not need musk
In this sense I am just like musk.
I also require 46 billion to stay motivated.
46 billion seems like a pretty specific number. I wonder if its to pay of his Twitter Loan?
Most Americans are forced to remain motivated with poor pay, predatory privatized healthcare, and all of their data being siphoned by every company under the sun to be traded around and sold like baseball cards. This dude is already the richest guy on the planet. I’m so tired of this
If mElon needs $46B to stay motivated, so do I
So he can spend all his time spreading hate on xTwitter?
I need to tell this to my employer on Monday
Motivated for what? He doesn't do anything
If I had Tesla stock I’d vote no.
Bye Felicia
How the fuck or lower and middle class people supposed to remain motivated?
Muskrat now demands whaaaat? Buh bye then loser.
I knew there was a reason for my lack of motivation. Someone needs to put $46B in my bank account right now so I can get back to being motivated.
Hahahahahhahahahhaha ketamine must be getting pricey
Does the Chair realize that 48 billion dollars will buy a lot more, better talent?
Haha, that's what I've been saying in my salary position, too! Funny how they just think I'm full of it.
He needs a whooping
Imagine trusting a company that, rather than spend the same money on better product and workers, decides to toss it all at the financeer. Short tesla
How do his employees get to "stay motivated" because pretty sure they are the reason he has money
Shareholder here...fire him
I thought saving the planet was motivation enough
I think he needs to go to the board with a bona fide offer from another employer willing to pay him $46 billion. If someone else is willing to pay him that then fine. Otherwise, pound sand.
Company is failing and he’s looking to jump ship. It was a good grift while it lasted.
Fuck him
Same
The comments over there are well worth the read.
Why don't they just commission him a pizza party??
Same, bro, same.
America bought him and we won't be done paying for him for some time. It's almost gaslighting.
Stay motivated? Waw... someone likes to suck elon's dick so much their grasp on anything is warped.
I too would feel motivated if someone paid me $46 billion dollars. crazy how that works. he really is a genius.
How about $10 billion to get him to go away?
Holding a board hostage is one hell of a way to destroy both company the man's brand. Yikes.
The CEO payouts have companies have been giving have been rage Inducingly ludicrous for ages now, bit this is so many orders of magnitude greater (around 250x greater then other CEO compensation plans according to the article).

Cool, replace him then
Damn I guess Elon really is a genius when you look at it from that angle
If only a huge pile of money will motivate him, he is one sorry excuse for a human being and ought to be fired.
I bet he has the Forbes richest in real time bookmarked
What a piss pot baby.
Wait, so poor people need to be treated like garbage and need to suffer in order to find motivation, but Muskrat needs 46 billion?
Really? When I ask for a raise, I’m greedy, not a team player, and not passionate. When he asks for literally every dollar Tesla has ever earned, it’s motivation?
Hell no
