Hedge fund if it's ever sold. They will either Romney it or install qualified leadership depending on how the math pencils out.

This would be awesome:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6229249/Analyst-claims-Al-Gore-good-fit-new-Tesla-chairman.html

Quote:
Former US Vice President Al Gore could be a good fit to replace Elon Musk as chairman, according to one longtime tech analyst.

Gene Munster, venture capitalist at Loup Ventures, said Gore would be able to use the role to get Musk, who is still CEO of Tesla, in line.

Musk agreed to resign as Tesla chairman within 45 days as part of his settlement with the SEC.

Gene Munster, venture capitalist at Loup Ventures, said former Vice President Al Gore would be able to use the role to get Elon Musk, who is still CEO of Tesla, in line

Munster said Gore would be a worthwhile candidate as he has served on Apple's board of directors since 2003 and is a prominent figure in the alternative energy industry.

'The open board chairperson role creates an opportunity for Tesla to potentially put someone in place that is capable of influencing Musk and helping Tesla reach sustainability,' said Munster, who is a noted Tesla bull.

'Al Gore, currently on Apple’s board, could be an interesting fit given his interest in climate change.'

Additionally, Gore notably voiced his confidence in Musk's vision for Tesla in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' thread a few years ago.

In response to a question asking whether he thought Tesla would 'make it as a car company,' Gore replied: 'Yes! In Musk I trust.'

Replace one con man with a bigger con man. Al Gore's gotten rich off of conning people out of money with his global warming bull****ing and selling credits for something that does not exist magical things he pulls out of his ass. He should be in jail for this s*** that he's done.

Al Gore? At Tesla? Ha!

That would make Whiskey and a toke look absolutely sane by comparison.

Hey .... if there's anyone in this country who is better at ripping off the US taxpayer than Musk, it's uncle Al.

Musk would openly oppose Gore as Chairman because he knows that within weeks, Gore would be claiming he invented Tesla!

This nut needs to put down the pipe.
Everybody is out to get him!

Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in a tweet Thursday, referring to the stock-market regulator as the “Short-Seller Enrichment Commission.”


The embattled executive mockingly said the “Short-Seller Enrichment Commission” is “doing incredible work,” he wrote in a Twitter message. “And the name change is so on point!”

The SEC declined to comment on the tweet.

Nice to see that TSLA stock is getting the beat-down it deserves, despite Musk's increasingly absurd pumping tweets (one million autonomous taxis by end of 2020? The autonomous technology doesn't work, and Tesla couldn't build that many cars even if it did). Stock is down 12% for the week. The floor might have finally fallen out from under it.

Everyone needs to double down on Tesla stock to keep the Ponzi scam going.
