What I don't understand is, why isn't the board putting him under severe pressure to do this? Something like: Musk old buddy old pal, you need to pull your head in for another year or so, then maybe he can go on a "sabbatical", without your Twitter password, and have a massive bender.

Isn’t tesla one of those companies were the board and voting rights on the stock were set up in such a way that the board has very little control, sort of like Zuckerberg and Facebook? ?

As I understand it, the board is set up to require something like a 90% vote for something like that, and it’s loaded with his friends. It’s a good setup for getting things done in a hurry in accordance with one man’s vision, but now... it’s pretty much useless.

The board of any company is selected by the shareholders, and the biggest shareholder of TSLA is Musk.

Does constitution of Tesla lack rule of exclusion for board elections? Musk should not have been able to vote for himself.
