    How fucked is your company if the CEO has the president’s ear, and the company sends a letter to tell them to please stop what they are doing.

    That is comically depressing.

    Tesla… warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”.

    That’s the point of retaliatory tariffs. Trump’s tariffs are stupid, other country’s tariffs are smarter and more targeted to have outsized impact on the US and less impact domestically. It’s absolutely intentional.

    With the moron being an absentee CEO at multiple companies that the moron is supposedly the CEO of… what would it take for the board of each company to fire him? CEO’s get fired all the time for reasons the board comes up with randomly.

    Any other CEO would have been fired a long time ago for dragging the company monetary value down as much as Twitter has, for example.

      Musk is more than just the CEO, he is also the largest shareholder. The last estimate I see online is 12%. So while he does not hold a majority, as the largest shareholder he has outsized influence with the board. He probably hand-picked them all.
