I just don’t feel comfortable building a robot army here, and then being ousted because of some asinine recommendations from ISS and Glass Lewis, who have no f**king clue. I mean those guys are corporate terrorists. Lemme explain the core problem here, so many of the passive funds vote along the lines of what ISS and Glass Lewis recommend. Now, they have made many terrible recommendations in the past that if those recommendations had been followed would have been extremely destructive to the future of the company. Now, If you’ve got passive funds that essentially defer responsibility for the vote to Glass Lewis and ISS, then you can have extremely disastrous consequences for a publicly traded company if too much of the publicly traded company is controlled by index funds. It’s de facto controlled by Glass Lewis and ISS. This is a fundamental problem for corporate governance, because they’re not voting along the lines that are actually good for shareholders. That’s the big issue, I mean, that’s what it comes down to. ISS Glass Lewis corporate terrorism. -Elon Musk, Tesla Q3 shareholder conference call, October 22, 2025
Why do they even need musk? It’s not like he is lead engineer or chief of design.

Why would you ever have any control whatsoever in the first place? Do other arms manufacturers have a control for their missiles?
Fucking egomaniac.
And none of those shareholders vote along lines that are good for society. You’re going to probably kill us all someday with some bullshit business decision or another, directly or otherwise.
Lmao this clown should be peeled
I’ll do it for half that.
I’ll do it for half of your offer. $250 Billion is plenty for me to pull off a robot army.
hey errr maybe the richest man in the world with nazi views should not have a robot army to begin with?
Any day now Tesla is gonna be renamed Hyperion
Is he revering to the self driving Teslas when he says ‘robot army’?
I want to go back to the 80s…
Now is fine. We just need to forcefully put these wealthy fucks in their place.
To stop Reagan from becoming President, right?
Right?
I had to check to see if I was eating an Onion. Turns out, Ol’ ketamine fried Musky truly did say all of this.
He has enough money to pay an actual army
He has enough idiots following him that will do it for free.
Or even pay to do so.
Apparently we don’t even need to pay the actual army. We can just revoke their paychecks and force them to keep working anyways. Nothing can go wrong with that, right?
Not that he can start pulling out of overinflated Tesla stock before crashing it. He’s worth billions, but nowhere near 500 of 'em.
But I was told that rich people like musk and Trump weren’t swayed by money because they had enough… 😂
Sociopathic Oligarchs have a serious form of OCD/ Hoarding Disorder, that makes them crave even more money, no matter how much they have.
If they were hoarding cats, or rusty cars, or old refrigerators, or piles of scrap metal, etc., the authorities would intervene, and get them help for their mental illness.
But if they are hoarding money on a historically mind-blowing scale, they call them a successful businessman, and give them government grants and tax breaks.
If they were hoarding cats, or rusty cars, or old refrigerators, or piles of scrap metal, etc., the authorities would intervene, and get them help for their mental illness.
This is a common misconception.
“The authorities” (USA viewpoint) are really extremely unlikely to intervene in any way at all with hoarding, and even more extremely unlikely to provide any kind of useful mental health intervention.
If the hoarding is causing a public safety hazard then the authorities may eventually start fining the hoarder until they do whatever is minimally required to clear the hazard.
Much much more likely, if the hoarder is renting, the landlord may evict them which is one of the many paths to homelessness.
But by far the most common outcome is that the authorities do nothing whatsoever to stop or help with harmful hoarding behavior.
In this way, crazy aunt Florence and Elon Musk are similar.
A good chunk of shareholders deferring to public agencies that recommend based on societal good is imo the only way capitalism could “work”. Of course Elon is against it.
He needs? Go pick yourself up by your bootstraps. Somehow I don’t think he means $1T of his own money.
This guy is so desperate to be called the first trillionaire, it’s just really pathetic.
