Ya this is bad. I would sell all Tesla stocks if I was still holding.

It's generally considered a poor strategy to threaten a board (people in general) with outcomes they might prefer.

It's a really interesting strategy to proclaim this. I assume the intent is to get better leverage for an eventual comp plan: by implicitly threatening to tank the share price, he can convince the board to grant him more equity for different performance targets.

That's a very bold strategy and I'll be interested to see whether it works or not.

That's my best case scenario, Tesla can get back to fulfilling their mission without the drama.

Does he even have the liquidity after Twitter to buy an established AI startup and name himself as founder?
