    Senator Warren wrote this 10 page letter: https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/final_-_warren_letter_to_tesla_board_re_musk_conflicts_of_interest.pdf

    I write to you with ongoing concern that Tesla’s Board of Directors appears to be failing to meet its fiduciary duties to Tesla’s shareholders . . .
    • Musk redirected scarce artificial intelligence (AI)-related resources from the publicly traded Tesla to one of his privately held companies, X Corp.
    • Musk announced the launch of his new startup xAI
    • harms to shareholders
    • Musk’s compensation plan was deeply flawed,
    • “Project 42”—a secret project to build a “dramatic glass-walled building”
    • Tesla shareholders recently voted to ratify Mr. Musk’s massive pay package
    I agree with Walz,
    “This country is great because we have a golden rule that makes things work. We mind our own damn business on those things."

    Waltz - really?

    'Devastating agenda': Top Minnesota lawmaker sounds alarm on businesses fleeing Walz's 'socialist crusade' (msn.com)

    "I've talked to a lot of businesses that either have left or when they expand are not expanding in Minnesota," GOP Rep. Pete Stauber, who represents Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital. "I mean, hundreds of millions of private investment are leaving Minnesota under Walz's watch."

    "He's supported the highest income tax rate in the nation at 10%, he has taken a $19 billion surplus and the next year added a $10 billion tax on the hardworking Minnesotans. He's increased government spending by almost 50%. Very little growth in the private sector. I think if you look at North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, our neighboring states are growing the private sector jobs three and four times more than Walz."

    Increasing Government spending by 50% is minding your own buisness?
    Something not aligning here!

    "Musk acknowledged he is "quite concerned" about Tesla's inability to access the top-tier Nvidia graphics processing units, or GPUs, because of skyrocketing demand for microprocessors within the tech sector."
    Elon Musk Doubles Down on Tesla's Dojo to Compete With Nvidia - Business Insider

    Yet...

    "Musk also has asked for GPUs that were reserved for Tesla to be redirected to xAI and X."

    Tesla shareholders voted to give Musk his pay package, and he is still going through with moving AI to his private companies.

    yep - here it comes ... cross the political ideology & you have to pay the price. If he became or could become the US president, he would be getting lawfair impeached, right now ...
    a page right out of the kremlin's playbook. Had he aligned himself with me other political party, he would be home free - ah la hunter.
