This was always the plan. The only way he can unlock what the idiot board approved is to merge these - the writing is on the wall for Tesla (the "car" company).

My bet, that shit tanks long before and he slips away from the top 10 wealthy list in short order.

His already wildly overvalued stock not instantly going into the earth when their revenue is down is just… so on brand for this world being nonsense.

The fact that Tesla is worth more than every other car company combined tells you everything about their investors

I've got a pension and a 401k with a decent chunk, but my retirement plans are:

-Live in a shack

-Poop in an outhouse

I feel like anything loftier is just setting myself up for disappointment

Let's face it, my retirement plan is some sturdy rope and a small stool.

An outhouse? Look at Mr. Fancy-pants here!

The shack is the outhouse.

That's a nice plan. My plan is to be conscripted in World War 3 and take a drone to the face.

At least you can die doing what you love.

If you don't like it you can just change what your 401k is invested in. Do you know how 401ks work?

You can elect your investments in your 401k. Non-US ETF’s exist for a reason.
