Normally the Board of Directors would fire any CEO that destroyed as much of the company's value as Musk has. But Tesla's board is full of Musk syncophants and family members who refuse to stand up to him.


The board doesn't care. They got theirs:

Lmao disgusting really.


The only reason why Tesla is selling at 190 PE is because of Musk. Musk is really good at selling stock to retail investors.


Board cares mostly about market cap and stock prices. Both have done well.


Poor corporate governance is rife.


> destroyed as much of the company's value as Musk has

Ah who needs numbers when we have time? Be patient
