Tesla's board of directors just gave their CEO a $65B bonus last year and this year they're looking at firing him.

That should really bring the board's competence into question imo.

I suppose it would be lucrative, but I have a hard time imagining choosing to take a job with Tesla or any of the companies he's made into social pariahs.

@w7voa @GreenFire (as a Tesla owner circa 2020) It could be hugely redeeming to all of us who purchased when there were far fewer options and who still believe in electric powered transport.

Yeah, I could see that POV, but sadly I doubt there is much hope that the Tesla brand can ever be salvaged after the damage that's been done to it sadly.

@GreenFire @KevinFreitas @w7voa You give consumers too much credit, as will Citibank, Wells Fargo, GE.... Old Coke wasn't the same formula after New Coke was discontinued. People wanted their Coke. Most people don't know Fiats and Jeep are both Stellantis cars, or what Lee Iaccoca had to do with all of it.

I'd put the price of a model S on a brand shift and a full revival within 18 months.
