Summary

Tesla investors, frustrated by the stock’s decline, are demanding accountability from Elon Musk, who recently illegally demanded federal employees justify their paychecks.

Shareholders took to Musk’s social media platform X, asking him to similar list his contributions to Tesla.

The stock has fallen for six straight sessions, underperforming the Nasdaq.

Meanwhile, Musk faced backlash for overstepping in government affairs, forcing Trump to smooth tensions.

      I think the answer is that no one knows because it’s not a publicly traded company. But I would bet on no, it isn’t profitable, nor will it be for the next 100 years. It is however the good part of Elon’s legacy, and if he stayed out of politics he would have been remembered as one of the greatest men in history for the leapfrog in space exploration that he ignited.

      You really do have to die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.

        Elon’s legacy now is that he’s the foreign Nazi who finally took control of the United States government.

      We don’t know, it’s a private company and doesn’t have to publish. I could see it being profitable because it gets money from the government, but based on how Musk runs his companies I could also see it being a dumpster fire behind the scenes.

          There was an anonymous statement by an employee that SpaceX basically has a small department whose entire purpose was to keep Musk distracted from anything important whenever he would get involved with “running” the company. Pretty sure the article I read that in said that they confirmed the employee’s identity and it would explain a lot about their surprisingly successful work.
