He needs? Go pick yourself up by your bootstraps. Somehow I don’t think he means $1T of his own money.

Elon Musk in charge of a robot army?
I've seen this movie sooo many times, and it never ends well.
So he's basically Justin Hammer at this point.
I don’t like this comparison. Hammer was actually competent.
Did you watch the film? None of his shit worked, and then it was hacked.
A good chunk of shareholders deferring to public agencies that recommend based on societal good is imo the only way capitalism could “work”. Of course Elon is against it.
Was there ever a hope that the customers buying the robots would control them?
MechaHitler controlled robot in my home or business is not a good marketing plan. Chinese companies are well ahead in robotics, and they have manufacturing customers, battery and motor research/leadership, lower bill of materials, plenty of AI skill. No reason to believe Tesla will be first or better.

When has Musk ever been first or better? he even botched his penis.

Sounds like they are getting on with their plan of eradicating all but the 1%
I hope he surrounds himself with these robots. Human bodyguards don't want to die.
This is so stupid. If he has an issue with shareholder control, he has the money to buy the fucking shares. Sure, he has to pay the inflated bullshit price, but he can do that. Buy it and make it private, Musk. Then you can do whatever the hell you want with it, but it'll be your money on the line. If you actually believe in the product than it should be fine, right?
Actually he doesn't. Most of his 'wealth' is Tesla shares already. Even if he could toss everything he has just toward controlling more of Tesla, and if the shareholders accepted it at current market value, he'd only have a third of the company.
Tesla is crazy over valued for a company that has only been able to be a car company that is in 14th place, yet assessed as being more valuable than all the 13 more successful car companies combined...
Did you do the math including the shares he already owns? Anyway, he can take out loans with the shares as collateral to buy more shares. I'm pretty sure he could get back 50% control if he leverages his assets. If he actually believes what's he's saying, this is a reasonable move.

The show Alien Earth presents a future that seems very much where we are headed. Countries replaced by corporations. One trillion dollars is a good start.
Not one more penny to this monster.
I have a trillion dollars down in my basement you can have Elon.
He's on his way, but his car can't find its way
Fuck, better hide my ketamine then.

They succeeded in making "billion" the new million. Now, they're trying to make "trillion" the new billion."
Is he revering to the self driving Teslas when he says 'robot army'?
Extremely destructive to the future of the company, you say? Go on...?
Take a lot more drugs Elon. Be sure it's enough to permenently quiet that scrambled brain of yours.
In a time when the entire world seems to be suffering from unstable leadership, rising costs of everything because of the decisions of people like him, oppressive and invasive actions directed at some of the most vulnerable people.
All that and much more, but this person with a net worth of $479,200,000,000 (according to Forbes as of today) is crying for $1,000,000,000,000 more for a large group of toy robots.
Some people have nothing and go on to accomplish great things. He has everything and needs more handouts to do anything.
This picture describes it pretty well.
Or these fascists are distracting people from something important with these performances...

Because without that contract, TSLA is worthless.
Fucking Ted Faro wannabe.
This is a real picture of Elon musk's dick.
Far too large.
Just wait until you have to pay a subscription to be on the "friend" list
I need 1000 Bitcoin to control the totally real AGI you should be scared of. Like really real and scary. Just around the corner guys. And it says I need those 1000 Bitcoin to control it.
He really needs $1 million, but he'll take the rest, just in case.
Yeah, well according to the Tesla board, he'll get paid $1 trillion if he makes Tesla the best selling car on the planet earth.
Just do it with your own money, Elon. All you have to do is one thing to get it. C'mon, "I love Telser," right? Run with that and see what you get.
This martian wants to put chips in people's brain, and he wants a trillion dollars to make some future terminators. He better stfu and go to Mars.
