Even if the board wanted to fire Musk (they don't), they are in a complete catch 22. The ENTIRE reason that Tesla trades at a market cap almost 20X greater than GM is because of all of Elon's sycophants. He's a cult of personality, just like Trump.
FY2024 revenue: GM - $171B , TSLA - $97B
FY 2024 Net income: GM - $6B, TSLA - $7B (but includes $600M in BTC gains and $2.7B in regulatory credits)
Toyota, VW, and a whole host of other auto OEMs make more profit and trade at fractions of TSLA's market cap. At the end of the day, they are a fucking automotive manufacturer. Remove that shitstain from the company and its valuation plummets. The time to fire Elon was 5+ years ago when his complete batshit crazyness started up. But now they have shoved all of their chips into the middle of the table and they will have to see how the hand plays out. Lucky for them, Elon is now running the country so he can start transferring even more of our tax dollars to his companies.
