Yeah, I totally get that. Give me $46 billion or I won’t be motivated any more either.

    Motivated to do what? What does he even do?? What does any CEO really do besides delegate and take the fall when shareholders are out for blood?

    I’m seriously asking.

      It’s a great question when he can be CEO of multiple companies simultaneously.

      There’s no way I could work another full time job, there isn’t enough time available. And I’m pretty sure the difference isn’t that Musk is the only one that can pull it off.

      He needs his ‘investment’ in twitter back. Probably because he took out a loan that has enough intrest to be double what he has after selling Tesla stock.

    And out of the 8 billion people on this planet, there’s not one other who could be motivated for less and be at least an equally effective CEO?

    As of Jan 2023 he has sold a total of $39 billion in Tesla stock. So apparently that isn’t enough to be motivated. Why on Earth would giving him another $46 billion work this time to “keep him motivated”? If he’s given $46 billion he’ll just give it away too.

      He’s going to be really mad if he doesn’t get 46 billion. I don’t think you understand how mad he will be. Not 45 billion; 45 billion is chump change. It’s 46 billion. Would you be fucking motivated even get out of bed for a dollar less than 46 billion?

      I didn’t think so.

    Our Laborers are ONLY Motivated by Love of the Company and Pride in their Work! But our CEO is ONLY Motivated by Money!

    I too need $46B to stay motivated. But at least I’m not fucking over the rest of the world.

    “I need on kajillion billion trillion dollars daily to be motivated”

    motivated to do what? Lose $30 million on another poor software purchase? Be a dumb piece of shit on said software platform that is tanking as we speak? Motivation to over work and under pay employees in hazardous, unsafe work conditions? Motivation to be even more of a sexist, misogynistic, pig headed human?

    What an absolute baby.
