Inside The Fight Over Elon Musk's

Trillion Dollar Pay Package

Sometimes I don't dig deep into the news stories and I read headlines and listen to news soundbites and I thought that Elon was using the term "corporate terrorist" because maybe the Tesla Board was trying to oust him just like Steve Jobs was ousted back in the 1980s.  One progressive thinking EV commentator, who has his own Youtube Channel, was hoping that the Tesla board would oust Elon because of his work for Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency.  So, if Elon had a PR problem that could effect his job security, he seems to have thrown everyone off balance by fighting for an enormous pay package instead of just fighting to be kept on at Tesla.  I'm not promoting this big pay increase but, I do think Elon needs to always be at the helm of Tesla.  I liked Elon's work with the Department of Government Efficiency because he was one of the few political figures that was talking about finding $2 trillion in cuts in the Federal budget to keep the federal deficit from going into default because of the government loosing it's ability to make the interest payments.   I live in the Greater Cincinnati area and the EV market that I live in does NOT find Elon Musk to be a liability for Tesla sales.  There is a large population of German Heritage people in the Greater Cincinnati area and Tesla sales have gone way up locally because the local consumers liked hearing Elon talk about balancing the Federal Government's budget and finding the necessary budget cuts to give our Government and our economy a secure future.  Of course, Elon was not successful in getting the necessary cuts applied to Trump's spending package that was called “The Big Beautiful Bill.”  It seems that politics, in a democratic system, is unable to deliver balanced budgets and reduced deficits.
