> I don't understand how you could look at Elon's actions and think he has any interest in making as much money as he can.

Oh totally. That's why when Tesla shareholders sued Tesla over Elon's massive compensation package, Elon said, "I reject the compensation package entirely. Pay me nothing! Actually, I'll pay you to let me work here!"



That whole storyline is about him forcing the board to prove their loyalty—it has nothing to do with the money. He wants fealty.


Letting him keep his job demonstrates fealty.


Mmhmm. And I suppose ending his feud with Trump had nothing to do with the $50+ drop in TSLA stock price. Probably some kind of principled, non-financial action, certainly.


You might want to make the sarcasm clearer. People might think Elon Musk actually said that.
