I agree. Buying and showing off my Cybertruck gives me a way to visibly contradict the FUD in a way that is hard to refute.Is it just me, or, is the very fact that these many and several investment channels are having to provide a way for TSLA shareholders to vote is illustrating something worth consideration.
That something being, in the past there has not been a swell of interest from shareholders to vote for most other stocks through these channels. So, there was no method provided when it wasn't being asked about.
Most people just don't care enough about most stocks to even inquire in significant enough numbers to result in such a change by the brokers to accommodate voting.
Next consideration point. Of those asking to vote for TSLA, which is more likely:
- They are doing so because they feel the Delaware judgement needs to be righted, Elon needs to be paid for doing above and beyond what was expected, and they want Tesla to continue to thrive as a result of a positive vote.
- They are angry at Elon for something that is unrelated to the success of Tesla and have actually taken time out of their lives to figure out how to get their vote counted to teach him a lesson for whatever they believe he has done.
In my experience it has always seemed that the sort of people who let their emotions be influenced toward negativity will usually take time to type or talk their line of thought, but many won't actually take time to solve problems (like how to vote) because that doesn't bring the endorphin rush that getting all emotionally worked up in front of other people will provide them.
From where I sit, I'd like to think the lion's share of those actually taking steps to vote where no one has voted before, boldly going where shareholders have not been, seeking out how to vote and support the transition, will predominantly be made up of those in favor of Elon's pay package.
Of course, I could be wrong. What do you think?
Voting is the same. I think most retail investors who hold shares would vote for Elon. Those people who have fallen victim to the bile spewed against Elon and Tesla likely don’t hold shares.
