I wanna know where are Tesla's board of directors. Why hasn't Musk been fired after the Nazi salute and everything that's come afterwards. Teslas stock price was already massively over inflated, you'd think the board would do everything they can to stop him rocking the boat

The same board that twice reinstated a $56B (B!) bonus for him that a federal judge said was effing crazy? It's up to 100B now. The stock is still way overvalued so they're not getting off the ride.

Because the board is stacked with relatives unfortunately. Otherwise, yeah they probably would've.

They could've dropped him long ago, but $$$$. It shows you where they stand.

What would the potential liability be here? Are we talking 'settlements end up eating all his stocks'?
