    Trusting your loyal fan base to deliver your cars is dedication no other brand has. If they tried that in NYC today not a single one would be delivered to the customer.

    I'm a Tesla fan and shareholder from Europe. I feel there wasn't any better time to upload this video than now, which gives us back the human touch behind the scenes. I went through near bankruptcy twice in my life, and am holding on what I have now in retirement humbly and happy and appreciating people who were able to fare better than me, being aware of the huge human cost you had to give to literally "build your dreams".

      @Mike-vq1fm If Tesla would have given some minor gift, like t-shirt or anything, that would not change a thing. Outsiders would criticise them exacly the same: a trillion markecap company and only a t-shirt for the people who saved them, etc. Nothing would be enough.
      The thing is: it is not our business to tell, but for those who participated from both side what should be considered acceptable compensation for a favor, which includes nothing, because - as I said - it is not really a help if someone expect anything in return.

      I agree. The nasties are coming out of the woodwork to punish Elon for his world view. He is trying to save democracy and challenging the power structure in this country that wants to take our freedoms away: big tech, media, big money, our government etc... Both Musk and Kimbal have spent their lives thinking big and trying to improve the life of everyone. This sort of worldview when successful is punished. It would be interesting to dig into the deleware case to see who these shareholders are that are complaining. I'd guess the lawyers representing them have ties to the system that wants to stop elon. Gregory Varallo is the lead lawyer and I bet if you dig you will find a motive. I mean Musk met the impossible targets and 80% of shareholders voted for it. This sort of interference from a handful of people changes the way corporations can incent their leaders.

      Thanks for the news flash. 81% of shareholders, including me, knew what they voted for when they approved Elon’s compensation. We realized that if he could achieve the unprecedented growth We would all get wealthy and he did. Every CEO in America should have a compensation plan that has no salary and they only get paid if they achieve outrageous goals. It perfectly aligns compensation with shareholders interests.

      ​@@joeybulford5266 You lack the basic understanding of capitalism and the experience of running a business. I have owned three companies for over 25 years and have experienced two recessions and a pandemic. Elon Musk achieved what no other company in history has done: he scaled a business teetering on the edge of bankruptcy into the fastest-growing large manufacturing company ever, all while sleeping on the factory floor. The survival of Tesla itself is miraculous, with numerous improbable events keeping it afloat. Most CEOs would have failed, comfortably ensconced in their mansions, but Elon chose to couch surf, foregoing a salary for years and selling everything he owned and gambled to save SPACEX and TESLA at the same time. Wtf have you done with your life that you deserve to project your BS opinion on a company that you don't own shares of or know anything about it?
      When have you led by example, sleeping on a factory floor to uplift your employees, many of whom became millionaires due to their work on the production line? I personally know seven individuals who have worked at SpaceX and Tesla for over 12 years, enduring the challenging times.
      The judge's ruling will be overturned. Biden's involvement in this matter disappoints me, as I regretfully voted for him and supported him in the past. I won't repeat that mistake. 81% of Tesla shareholders, myself included, approved Musk's compensation package. You and the judge are cowards. You were not there, and my investment was in Musk, and I was unwavering. You woke POS.

That's why they're poor, they give up if something doesn't succeed first go. Social media is FULL of these people.
