I don't own any $TSLA (or one of their cars), but this is like the opposite of a rush notice. Heck, he will continue working for Tesla for almost half the year. Seems like typical HN "everything Elon does is bad" bandwagoning.
I mean, just earlier today the HP CFO resigned[1] and was replaced immediately.

- throwaway914 3y agobut like.. objectively what he does is bad. I wish there were a smaller bandwagon to bandwagon-onto.
- uristohkrat 3y agoExpand upon your idea: 'but like.. objectively what he does is bad'
- gscho 3y agoNot the OP but we could mention that time where he called a hero a pedophile or when he bought twitter to promote free speech and then banned anyone who said negative things about him. No one human should have 260 billion dollars and be thought of as a good person unless they do a ton of philanthropy.
- upon_drumhead 3y agogreater then 259 billion dollars of philanthropy
- NotSuspicious 3y agoNow, I'm not saying this is the case for Musk, but surely if a person that rich was heavily investing in technological research that resulted in positive feedback loops that benefitted humankind then they would be a pretty good person, right? Who was really a better person: Mother Teresa or Norman Borlaug?
- edgyquant 3y agoNone of this is objective
- throwaway914 3y agoObjectively it is bad to defame and distract from a public servant rescuing kids from a cave. (Objectively.)
- redavni 3y agoBecause all the other humans throughout history that launched a car they built, on a rocket they built did it better, right? To be fair, I am actually still annoyed about the whole x.com thing. They closed my account when they sold to Paypal 23 years ago now. Now it is just some message board.
- hypeit 3y ago> Because all the other humans throughout history that launched a car they built, on a rocket they built did it better, right? Musk has never built a car or a rocket. He raises money and hypes things. He is not a builder. Hell, he tried to get Paypal to switch to Windows because he doesn't even understand Linux.
- Iulioh 3y ago>he will continue working for Tesla for almost half the year Well that's in the the declaration
- frankreyes 3y agoYeah but nobody cares about HP and their silly printers. Also, Elon doesn't have anything to do with HP
- somethoughts 3y agoAlso not sure Tesla shareholders are going to want folks putting HP and Tesla in the same sentence. HP is obviously misfiring so the CFO should be turning over based on historical data so its decidedly not newsworthy. Tesla on the other hand is supposedly firing on all cylinders, so its abnormal for the CFO to exit just before what's expected to be hockey stick profitability given the heavy stock based compensation. HP P/E is 12x. Tesla P/E is 70x. Tesla at HP's multiple would be a $40 stock.
- woah 3y agoYour Tesla's battery cartridge is low on ink. Please replace your Tesla battery cartridge with a certified genuine replacement cartridge at the nearest Tesla dealership.
- OJFord 3y agoYou've run out of non-motorway Watt-hours. Our patented iCohesiveBatt system houses both motorway and non-motorway Watt-hours, and can be replaced as a single unit for your convenience!
- alliao 3y agoJust thought this was funny, as Tesla's engineering HQ is now located in the Stanford Research Park, 3000 Hanover St, where HP was
- hnfong 3y agoHewlett Packard Enterprise is not HP and does not make printers. Perhaps nobody cares about HPE either, but at least get your facts right.

- hypeit 3y agoWhen the CEO makes a bunch of fraudulent statements, that is actually bad. It's one thing for people to change jobs, it's another when the guy who is the direct line of fire from Musk's lies leaves. The market can stay irrational for a long time, but at some point reality will enter the equation.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoHe’s been in that position for 13 years. It’s not like anything Musk is doing is new.
- hypeit 3y agoYou can only keep the corruption going for so long. Maybe there's someone new at the SEC that will actually go after him, maybe the shareholder have finally had enough. It could be anything but the CFO headed for the door in a company notorious for fraud speaks to a potential reckoning.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoThis is such a ridiculous take it doesn’t even bear responding to.
- henrikschroder 3y ago> Heck, he will continue working for Tesla for almost half the year. Learn to read between the lines. Remember how their director of AI, Karpathy, went on a sabbatical? That was also a lie.
- Ryder123 3y agoDo we know whether "the end of the year" is the fiscal year or calendar year? Given the context fiscal year seems very plausible, and that's less than 2 months away.
- red-iron-pine 3y agoHP is not a great comparison for... anything. maybe trainwrecks or dumpster fires.
