You’re giving the likes of Kimball Musk and James Murdoch way too much fucking credit here.

His board is filled with fucking sycophants. They won’t go against him, especially his fucking brother.

It’s hardly a board that is looking to control you when you’ve filled it with Yes Men.

Corporate Governance | Tesla Investor Relations

The Board of Directors of Tesla, Inc. sets high standards for the Company's employees, officers and directors.

Why haven’t shareholders elected new board members? Or does his sycophants have the majority in combined total?
There's good reason to believe that Tesla is an Enron-esque style fraud. No one in charge has shown any business acumen, and no one can explain how it is actually profitable. But that requires only stooges and yes-men on the board. There cannot be any accountability.
Every time I leave my house, I see dozens of Teslas driving around. If they’re not profitable, then they’re horrifically bad at making money. They’re ubiquitous. Pretty impressive market penetration for a business run by people who don’t know what they’re doing.
Their single biggest revenue stream is selling carbon credits. They’re basically a regulatory arbitrage business with a side hustle in cars.

Just like Amazon who is a cloud computing company with a side hustle in e-tail or Google which is an ad company with a side hustle in tech.

In general most people don’t really understand this about big companies.

Enron was a huge business that had millions of customers. It just happened to lose money while doing so. The crime was that they hid that last part.
Might be area dependant. Lots of them where I work at not many at all where I live at about an hour away.
