2022 Shareholder vote

[GeoG]

Even when copying my homework off the smartest kid in the class I still like to double-check my answers before submitting

I would have if I knew what I was copying. I was just drawing whatever the other person e was writing.

The “main mission” being what, in your estimation?

Accelerate the transition to renewable energy, as Tesla and Elon have repeatedly stated.

Others upstream of this post have given EXCELLENT reasons why the shareholder proposals just drain capital and time / energy.

Didn't you get the memo?

You do know about the new cover sheet for the TPS reports, right?

Are you unfamiliar with Teslas official mission statement, that has remained unchanged since the founding, and with which one would expect any actual shareholder to know?

I read through my proxy statement and does it really matter how I vote? The big institutional investors will decide the vote along with Elon.

I figured that would be your answer.

The mission is to maximize profit for shareholders. Anything beyond that is secondary. Like it or not, that’s how any public company operates.

So, this guy walks into a bar... tells everyone just how opposed he is to everything about how a publicly traded company runs their business for a profit, all in order to make the investors in the company pleased with their investment choice.

Then, asks inane questions to those around him about the company's Mission, somehow wishing it was more aligned with things he feels are more important than saving the whole planet and the entire human race.

Bartender looks over at him, rolls his eyes, then says to those putting up with this drivel, "just ignore him"

So, I did.

That’s fine. Bury your head in the sand.

But it’s pretty irresponsible to regurgitate the garbage Musk and co. Spew with regards to “the mission”.

Then that is an EXTRA reason to vote against the shareholder proposals.

Okay chump. What other company is doing even as much for the environment and sustainable transportation?

Thought so. To the ignore bin with you.

I'm confused: you said that you support proposals that clearly go beyond the mission as you define it - why? Why are you even a stockholder if the mission doesn't match your values (I'm assuming that the proposals you support align with your values)? And if your answer is that you value the opportunity to get great returns, then how do you reconcile that with your opposition to what the board is proposing. I don't follow your logic..
