Her being a major stockholder and board member of a LIDAR company is also important context, but was left out for some reason. She is pushing a technology approach Elon has called “a fool’s errand” which explains a lot of her incongruous hostility toward Tesla.
- vba616 3y agoHow it is important context? The article isn't about LIDAR. And if LIDAR is the wrong way to go for technical reasons, then if she pushes for better autonomous driving technology, she is working against her supposed interests.
- thrill 3y agoEverything that slows down the selling of Teslas is labeled by Elon as a "fool's errand".
- natch 3y agoFlippant. By that logic he wouldn’t work at Twitter or SpaceX. The point is she has an agenda to make money off her stake in a competitor, so her opinions should be seen in that light.
- gregw2 3y ago“Has an agenda to make money”implies an evidence based assumption of knowledge of likely motives, and that she did not divest her stake before taking a governance role. She did divest preemptively, as described elsewhere in this thread.
- natch 3y agoHer position will be kept open for her so she still has an interest. And we don’t really know what deal she may have with the company. She certainly has a close relationship with them. My understanding is that she had stock options, which can be granted again.
- Veserv 3y agoWhat company, Veoneer? The company where she resigned from the board and sold all of her shares prior to accepting her appointment as a senior safety advisor to NHTSA? We should believe Elon Musk who has the largest current conflict of interest in the world over a woman who has no current conflict of interest and deliberately took action to terminate any potential conflict of interest she may have had (to be fair that is legally required to hold such a post)?
