I mean, yea, I don’t personally like the guy, but what a shit take, no observation upon the how’s/why’s of what he’s doing, just an insult.
Did you not read the article before responding? Its right in the first sentence:
"Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday said the electric vehicle maker will hold a shareholder vote to transfer the company’s state of incorporation to Texas, after publicly lashing out at Delaware—where the company is currently incorporated—over a court decision that voided the billionaire’s massive $50.9 billion pay package."
The How's and Why's is because Tesla is incorporated in Delaware, a state famously favorable to businesses, and he lost a court ruling that is going to affect his wealth. There's no changing that ruling, but moving would mean different but not better legal challenges going to Texas.
Further, he's claiming he's making this move because of a Twitter poll! Twitter has become extremely polarized since Musk's purchase has become more of an echo chamber of "yes men" gravitating to Musk's extreme positions. So he has a biased audience and putting it to a vote seemingly to try and add legitimacy to the decision. That is either deceitful because he knows they're "yes men" or terrifyingly out-of-touch that he doesn't know they're "yes men" affirming his decisions because he's asking for affirmation.
This is a massive failure either transparency or of self-awareness. Someone with Musk's wealth and influence should do much much better than that.
