> Yes, Kirkhorn "will continue to serve Tesla through the end of the year to support a seamless transition", but this reads as a rush notice.

I don't own any $TSLA (or one of their cars), but this is like the opposite of a rush notice. Heck, he will continue working for Tesla for almost half the year. Seems like typical HN "everything Elon does is bad" bandwagoning.

I mean, just earlier today the HP CFO resigned[1] and was replaced immediately.

Learn to read between the lines. Remember how their director of AI, Karpathy, went on a sabbatical? That was also a lie.

[frankreyes]

Yeah but nobody cares about HP and their silly printers. Also, Elon doesn't have anything to do with HP

[somethoughts]

Also not sure Tesla shareholders are going to want folks putting HP and Tesla in the same sentence.

HP is obviously misfiring so the CFO should be turning over based on historical data so its decidedly not newsworthy.

Tesla on the other hand is supposedly firing on all cylinders, so its abnormal for the CFO to exit just before what's expected to be hockey stick profitability given the heavy stock based compensation.

HP P/E is 12x. Tesla P/E is 70x. Tesla at HP's multiple would be a $40 stock.

Just thought this was funny, as Tesla's engineering HQ is now located in the Stanford Research Park, 3000 Hanover St, where HP was

Your Tesla's battery cartridge is low on ink. Please replace your Tesla battery cartridge with a certified genuine replacement cartridge at the nearest Tesla dealership.

You've run out of non-motorway Watt-hours. Our patented iCohesiveBatt system houses both motorway and non-motorway Watt-hours, and can be replaced as a single unit for your convenience!

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not HP and does not make printers.

Perhaps nobody cares about HPE either, but at least get your facts right.

[frankreyes]

It's a joke. Have some fun

>he will continue working for Tesla for almost half the year

Well that's in the the declaration

[Ryder123]

Do we know whether "the end of the year" is the fiscal year or calendar year? Given the context fiscal year seems very plausible, and that's less than 2 months away.

[red-iron-pine]

HP is not a great comparison for... anything. maybe trainwrecks or dumpster fires.

[throwaway914]

but like.. objectively what he does is bad. I wish there were a smaller bandwagon to bandwagon-onto.

[uristohkrat]

Expand upon your idea: 'but like.. objectively what he does is bad'

[gscho]

Not the OP but we could mention that time where he called a hero a pedophile or when he bought twitter to promote free speech and then banned anyone who said negative things about him. No one human should have 260 billion dollars and be thought of as a good person unless they do a ton of philanthropy.

[NotSuspicious]

Now, I'm not saying this is the case for Musk, but surely if a person that rich was heavily investing in technological research that resulted in positive feedback loops that benefitted humankind then they would be a pretty good person, right? Who was really a better person: Mother Teresa or Norman Borlaug?

[upon_drumhead]

greater then 259 billion dollars of philanthropy

[edgyquant]

None of this is objective

[throwaway914]

Objectively it is bad to defame and distract from a public servant rescuing kids from a cave.

(Objectively.)

Because all the other humans throughout history that launched a car they built, on a rocket they built did it better, right?

To be fair, I am actually still annoyed about the whole x.com thing. They closed my account when they sold to Paypal 23 years ago now. Now it is just some message board.

> Because all the other humans throughout history that launched a car they built, on a rocket they built did it better, right?

Musk has never built a car or a rocket. He raises money and hypes things. He is not a builder. Hell, he tried to get Paypal to switch to Windows because he doesn't even understand Linux.
