> Yes, Kirkhorn "will continue to serve Tesla through the end of the year to support a seamless transition", but this reads as a rush notice.

I don't own any $TSLA (or one of their cars), but this is like the opposite of a rush notice. Heck, he will continue working for Tesla for almost half the year. Seems like typical HN "everything Elon does is bad" bandwagoning.

I mean, just earlier today the HP CFO resigned[1] and was replaced immediately.

Learn to read between the lines. Remember how their director of AI, Karpathy, went on a sabbatical? That was also a lie.

Yeah but nobody cares about HP and their silly printers. Also, Elon doesn't have anything to do with HP

Also not sure Tesla shareholders are going to want folks putting HP and Tesla in the same sentence.

HP is obviously misfiring so the CFO should be turning over based on historical data so its decidedly not newsworthy.

Tesla on the other hand is supposedly firing on all cylinders, so its abnormal for the CFO to exit just before what's expected to be hockey stick profitability given the heavy stock based compensation.

HP P/E is 12x. Tesla P/E is 70x. Tesla at HP's multiple would be a $40 stock.

Your Tesla's battery cartridge is low on ink. Please replace your Tesla battery cartridge with a certified genuine replacement cartridge at the nearest Tesla dealership.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not HP and does not make printers.

Perhaps nobody cares about HPE either, but at least get your facts right.

Because all the other humans throughout history that launched a car they built, on a rocket they built did it better, right?

To be fair, I am actually still annoyed about the whole x.com thing. They closed my account when they sold to Paypal 23 years ago now. Now it is just some message board.

Musk has never built a car or a rocket. He raises money and hypes things. He is not a builder. Hell, he tried to get Paypal to switch to Windows because he doesn't even understand Linux.

Not the OP but we could mention that time where he called a hero a pedophile or when he bought twitter to promote free speech and then banned anyone who said negative things about him. No one human should have 260 billion dollars and be thought of as a good person unless they do a ton of philanthropy.
Re:Tesla, Inc. 8-k filing – CFO leaves Tesla by NotSuspicious on Monday August 07, 2023 @07:29PM (#37042355)
Now, I'm not saying this is the case for Musk, but surely if a person that rich was heavily investing in technological research that resulted in positive feedback loops that benefitted humankind then they would be a pretty good person, right? Who was really a better person: Mother Teresa or Norman Borlaug?

Objectively it is bad to defame and distract from a public servant rescuing kids from a cave.

When the CEO makes a bunch of fraudulent statements, that is actually bad. It's one thing for people to change jobs, it's another when the guy who is the direct line of fire from Musk's lies leaves. The market can stay irrational for a long time, but at some point reality will enter the equation.

He’s been in that position for 13 years. It’s not like anything Musk is doing is new.
Re:Tesla, Inc. 8-k filing – CFO leaves Tesla by hypeit on Monday August 07, 2023 @08:12PM (#37042757)
You can only keep the corruption going for so long. Maybe there's someone new at the SEC that will actually go after him, maybe the shareholder have finally had enough. It could be anything but the CFO headed for the door in a company notorious for fraud speaks to a potential reckoning.

Do we know whether "the end of the year" is the fiscal year or calendar year? Given the context fiscal year seems very plausible, and that's less than 2 months away.
