    I started hating the guy when he did this to his shareholders (I was one at the time). How this never ended up as a shareholder lawsuit still confounds me.

    Strong attitudes about Elon fall into two groups:
    • Those who like his EVs but hate his weath.
    • Those who like his wealth but hate his EVs.

    ps. The old joke there are two kinds of people in the world: those who separate people into two groups, and; those who don't.

    Sorry, I did not know about the August 8, 2024 letter when I cited July 17, 2023. I haven't read the latest but did read the 2023 letter. I owe you a new summary of the contents. Hopefully, it will be:
    • An apology for 2023 and praise for Elon's accomplishments?
    • It is now all sweetness and light?
    • All new, original words?
    It may take a day or so but YOU DESERVE IT!

    i'll give liz credit, she has offered up more whinings about the steward health care ceo, who bankrupted the hospital chain, and is closing 5 massachusetts hospitals, but is still collecting his 250 million dollars.

    My mistake :)
    But the letter still does not offer more than "comments made by this person or another"
    GPUs have certainly been very hard to get and there is nothing there that shows Tesla had a datacenter sitting just waiting for GPUs vs they had ordered long in advance because of the known long wait times and suddenly got a shipment that couldn't be deployed right away.
    Certainly this situation could require investigation...but you need actual evidence to convict someone in a court, for example.
    There has also been known friction between Nvidia and Tesla beyond the known general chip shortage globally.
    (Didn't Tesla kick Nvidia chips out of the cars years ago? And didn't Tesla public criticize Nvidia when announcing Dojo, intended to replace NVidia chips for training?)
