A class-action lawsuit doesnt require their permission. If the Board doesn't act to protect the company and shareholders from MuskRat's bad behavior, they become as liable for damages as MuskRat. The smart move would be to remove him, but they are probably afraid of him, and his attack dog in the Oval.
They ignore his behavior at their own economic peril.
I didn't change anything, I just pointed out that whether you or I are correct (which is an e tirely dufferent duscussion), the situation doesn't really change. MuskRat is still civilly responsible for the Tesla's ongoing crash.
It doesn't require a majority of shareholders to file a class-action lawsuit. Any group with the same issues can combine to sue. Besides, there are probably some other major shareholders who are totally out of their minds over MuskRat costing them millions of dollars with his unhinged reckless behavior. I wouldn't be so quick to believe that they will continue to support him. I certainly wouldn't support someone who has cost me millions so far, and whose continuing behavior is predictably likely to continue to lose my money.
I've recently gotten into selling items on Etsy, and so far I like their system much better. When I have a sale, I can instantly print a packing list and a shipping label, and the postage gets deducted from my account. Its a very clean, easy system, and far more trustworthy system than anything using PayPal - SO FAR.
The main problem with Etsy is that items either need to be produced by the seller, or be vintage. I sell items that fit both of those categories, so it works for me, but it is not a site to sell normal household goods. You couldn't sell new books or current pressings of LPs, for instance. That's what keeps them from fully competing with Ebay. They could change that policy to include everything, but that would fundamentally change what Etsy IS, and I doubt they want that.
I use Craigslist and FB Marketplace for selling guitars, musical instruments, and household goods. Craigslist used to be pretty good, but seems useless these days. I always post my items on both, but I NEVER get responses from Craigslist anymore, only FB. Also, all they do is connect buyer and seller. They do nothing to facilitate the transaction, like take care of payments or shipping. They are simply 21st c. Classified Ads.
There are others like OfferUp, but I've never used them.
Waltz is National Security Advisor, and he personally added a reporter to the classified chat. He either did it on purpose, or he is just virtuosically incompetent. He has literally NO excuse.
Possibly, but why throw good money after bad? They are already shitty vehicles that get recalled constantly (the SwastiKKKar has been recalled 8 times in less than a year), and are expensive to repair. The company is tanking, with no recovery in sight, or even appearing to be possible, and will probably be put of business in a few years, even with the inevitable bail out. Then it will become nearly impossible to find parts or repair it.
Unload that dog while you still can.
Exactly. The Republicans will lie, the Dems won't defend it, so everyone will accept the lies as truth.
Perhaps you would be correct about a normal dispute between a CEO/Board and disgruntled shareholders who want more, but that's not the Tesla situation.
MuskRat has been behaving recklessly, inappropriately, violently, insultingly, and worse, and the extreme negative reaction from Tesla's current and potential market was easily predictable.
Whether the law requires that a CEO act to maximize profits, or simply manage the business in the best way possible on behalf of shareholders, MuskRat's behavior has egregiously violated both, leaving both himself and the board greatly exposed to the possibility of a shareholder class-action suit, for any number of reasons.
With a nearly 60% drop in the stock price (which continues), and a severely damaged corporate image around the entire WORLD (which is probably unrecoverable under the current corporate leadership), both DIRECTLY attributable to his own personal behavior, it is doubtful that the company will even be in business in a couple of years, although HitlerPig will probably give him a bail out.
The Dems need him right where he is. This isn't his first scandal. Remember on his first morning after celebrating his senate approval, when he had to go on air with a raging hangover to talk about how one of his helicopters just killed a plane load of innocent civilians?
And it won't be his last. We can expect a monthly scandal from him alone, which Dems can use to slam him and the entire administration during mid-terms.
Same with Gabbard, who, as National Security Advisor, should know that she should not be discussing classified details of an imminent op on an unsecure thrid-party platform...with a reporter in the room.
Same with Vance, etc.
We WANT this administration to remain incompetent. These people were approved for the sole reason of "sticking it to the libs," and that mission is accomplished. If these people are fired, they might get replaced with those who actually have some level of competence.
Nah, stick with the idiots. When the time comes, they'll be much easier to beat strategically by a competent militia led by competent military leaders who were fired for their competency, intelligence, and patriotism. Then these treasonous MAGAMorons won't just get fired, they'll get some far worse fate, which they have earned.
Gabbard is supposed to be IN CHARGE of all national intelligemce, and she found herself discussing classified intel on an unsecure platform, with a REPORTER!
I've been saying this all along, except I've been calling it "Virtuosic Incompetence."
There's an old saying that it's better to have your enemies inside your tent pissing out, than outside your tent pissing in. HitlerPig is far too ignorant to have heard that saying, and he wouldn't understand if he did.
By replacing anyone with knowledge and experience, with those whose ONLY qualification is loyalty, he has given his opposition the gift of competence, while removing it entirely from his side. In addition, there are thousands of people still working for the various Federal agencies who are blisteringly angry at what's being done to them, their workplaces, and their patriotic mission, and they are perfect recruits for leaks and sabotage.
People have said that it will be impossible to take our country back when they control everything, including the military, but thier leadership are so poorly equipped mentally and experientially, that a small competent militia, with an experienced leader, could easily win through strategic means rather than brute force, which is all the MAGAMorons understand and value.
Intelligence will eventually win over sheer power, because one side understands both strategies, while the other only understands one, and has only disdain for intelligence.
They're Pakleds - stupid, easily manipulated, and easily whupped.
Like herself? She was the one sharing classified intel with a reporter on an unsecured public platform.
Yeah, but he didnt, he's just another incompetent MAGA bonehead.
Dems should amp up their messaging, and start repeating the same characterizations over and and over and over - MAGA is inherently incompetent, MAGAs are all literally traitor, MAGA is a Russian-controlled psy-op, etc.
