Hi all, Model Y. Has anyone had water coming through the speaker? It has been raining, but clearly another random Tesla issue. Does anyone have experience asking Tesla for help fixing this or are we on our own? Thank you for your help.

How is this man simultaneously the most clueless schmuck on the internet and the world’s 3rd richest person? Meritocracy is a lie.

Yah. Musk’s entire career is one of constantly failing upwards, largely through luck and being in the right place at the right time.

Sure, it helped him out at the start, but Musk isn’t really a case of generational wealth gone awry, like the Trumps.

NYC Comptroller and hedge funds urge Tesla shareholders to deny Musk $50B windfall
New York City’s Comptroller and seven financial firms are recommending that Tesla shareholders give a thumbs-down to the electric car maker’s ~$50 billion pay package for CEO Elon Musk.
The suggestion was part of a letter signed by NYC Comptroller Brad Lander and the aforementioned firms, submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The letter is prefaced by saying it was filed on behalf of various pension and retirement funds for public employees such as teachers and police officers.
The signatories also include Amalgamated Bank, AkademikerPension, Nordea Asset Management, SHARE, SOC Investment Group, UNISON and United Church Funds.
[…]
While it might seem strange that the Big Apple’s comptroller is getting involved, it’s not Lander’s first rodeo. In November, he publicly criticized Musk’s alleged antisemitism, and said he was distracted by his other companies in April 2023, impairing his performance as Tesla’s CEO. As for why Lander is into jumping into this latest issue, NYC’s retirement funds include nearly one billion dollars in Tesla stock, and as comptroller he’s the administrative head of the state’s Retirement System.
[…]
The letter actually spills even more ink on reforming the Tesla board, which it claims has been captured by the company’s CEO and is now ineffective. Although sweeping changes aren’t possible in the upcoming shareholder vote, it does recommend that shareholders deny the proposal to reelect Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal Musk and James Murdoch, the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, to the board.
[…]
The letter also goes into detail about their grievances with Musk himself, which were also likely a factor in the recommendation to vote against the pay package. The signatories charge the CEO with not spending enough time leading the company, which he can’t do because he’s also a CEO or leading figure in a handful of other firms, such as SpaceX, regular X, and Neuralink.
“The lack of Board oversight has effectively enabled Musk to use Tesla as a coffer for himself and his other business endeavors, even if these actions come at Tesla’s expense,” argues the stock-owning bloc. “In 2022, Musk admitted to using Tesla engineers to work on issues at Twitter (now known as X), and defended the decision by saying that no Tesla Board member had stopped him from using Tesla staff for his other businesses.”
“More recently, Musk has begun poaching top engineers from Tesla’s AI and autonomy team for his new company, xAI, including Ethan Knight, who was computer vision chief at Tesla,” the letter continues to allege.
The CEO’s public statements made on X and elsewhere are also a sticking point, the letter states, and the signatories say Musk has caused damage to the car brand.
And of course, the recent performance of Tesla stock has also made the shareholding group very unhappy. To date, Tesla continues to be the worst stock in the S&P 500, down 28 percent as of the time of writing since the beginning of the year, even worse than Boeing, which is down 27 percent.
The gravity of the upcoming shareholder vote can be seen in Tesla’s own SEC filings as of late, which almost exclusively document the efforts which the electric car firm and its CEO are taking to convince voters to approve the proposals. One such filing details a pro-Musk video and a spread of xeets Musk has made, rexeeted, or replied to.
