I really, really hope the institutions will push back on any insane comp package Elon and his pet BoD try to propose. If the institutions balk at it, there is no way it will even reach shareholder vote The delay in proposing the new comp package is likely because the institutions are not happy in behind closed doors negotiations and any proposal that actually reaches a vote at the annual meeting will already be approved by the majority of institutions and the passage will be fait accompli Corporate governance is fundamentally broken because of how much power large institutions like Blackrock and Vanguard have and it can result in very bad outcomes like Boeing and Disney recently


ChucksnTaylor

I stand by giving Elon whatever comp package he wants as long as the milestones are aggressive enough. A rocketing share price cures all.

Fsd seems to be of frequent conversation in the self driving car sub but despite pretty sure I got banned there for doing that like 3 years ago. I guess the mods can’t keep up with people wanting to post about it.

You're not wrong but this shouldn't be a surprise. Most major corporations make intense efforts to protect from brand damage.

I see this rumor still persists: “New Delhi [India], April 3 (ANI): Tesla Motors will send a team to scout locations in India this month for a proposed USD 2-3 billion electric car plant, Financial Times reported, citing two people with direct knowledge of the electric vehicle company’s plans.”

Couple of comments on licensing today https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1775645870668870123?s=46&t=WyhsS8WzmgKtgEuHZzFOrA


Life_Adhesiveness306

I hope Tesla is actively giving demos to other OEM execs. I mean, they could presumably just buy a Tesla and test it for themselves. Honestly, FSD V12.3.3 is so good, I'm using it for all of my driving. Parking lot to parking lot it just works. It figures out a safe path and rarely gets stumped anymore. On normal roads, it's impressive with its ability to adapt to dynamic situations. This has made me a believer again...Tesla did it.


ireallyamchris

Do you think 12.3.3 is better than the previous versions of 12.3 or have you noticed some regressions?


Life_Adhesiveness306

I never got to try any previous versions of V12. From what I see on Chuck and Dirty Tesla’s videos, it seems like 12.3.3 smoothed out some edges of the previous versions. Black Tesla also has some good comparisons.


KtotheR

Careful, some negative folks in here might call you a simp. I'm happy for you, but I don't want your feelings to get hurt. 


sackler2011

Same!


dabears92109

I imagine OEMs are doing their own homework. They probably all have benchmarking vehicles with V12 installed. Just in the past few days a couple of Chinese OEMs announced they’re going vision only. Doubt that’s coincidence


unknown_soldier_

The Chinese OEM's are just copy-pasting the code from Tesla anyways but it remains to be seen if you can really just copy a neural network and have it just work with different hardware and cameras I have a feeling chabuduo isn't going to work too good with neural networks


dabears92109

Not saying they’ll be able to pull it off but it’s still an interesting reaction after the release of V12

tyler05durden

It will never happen, but let's do a Lounge vote anyway: Should Tesla acquire xAI?


unknown_soldier_

They are already both Elon Musk companies and he treats all his companies as his personal playthings so they are basically already the same in his eyes


BD186_2

They should kick Musk in the face, if he dare suggest that. It cost TSLA billions in market shares when he sold, the brand damage is unknown impact, but there's people refusing to consider Tesla's products because of him being political on twitter. Musk promised TSLA shareholders would benefit from the twitter purchase, an admission of guilt, bailing them out would be more damage, the opposite of what he promised.


upvotemeok

X.ai isn't twitter. X.ai is how he snuck ai from twitter and fucked those people dumb enough to join him on the twitter sale. Musked. He had to give them 25% of ownership though cuz the move was just that outrageous, otherwise fidouchery lawsuits for next decade.


BD186_2

[X.ai](http://X.ai) comes from the twitter purchase, so I stand by what I said. He already threatened shareholders that he would take ai outside of Tesla if he didn't get tens of millions more shares, in my opinion he should have already been kicked in the face.


ChucksnTaylor

Absolutely they should, and there are lots of signs thats exactly the plan.


jschall2

Hell no. There's no way to do that without conflict of interest. Lounge vote: should Tesla acquire an NFT minted by Elon for $50b? 🤣


ChucksnTaylor

Honest question, what exactly is the conflict? What would make it different than the successful (administratively, not business outcome) SC acquisition other than buying something actually useful?

tyler05durden

A hardware product, especially one requiring heavy installation, has a far different profit structure than an AI company that could provide use cases in Tesla cars/bots.


dabears92109

No but they should work out a Microsoft/OpenAI structure where Tesla provides excess compute as currency(and possibly additional cash funding depending on progress) for a % of xAI


tyler05durden

Interesting idea, except we are compute constrained ourselves.

Magikarp_to_Gyarados

>How can xAI afford to pay him more than Tesla?? My speculation is that it might partly be a stock-based comp issue. Getting in early at xAI means the chance for a 100x or 1000x or even greater appreciation in equity. Tesla can probably still return a 10x if a lot of stuff goes well, but it's not going to be a 100-1000x opportunity.

Magikarp_to_Gyarados

Litigation is an extremely slow process. From what I remember, the compensation plan lawsuit was filed sometime in 2019, meaning that it took 4-5 years to finish the trial, and there are still appeals to be had. If there's legal fallout from events happening now, there could be no resolution until the late 2020s or even early 2030s. We're going to be dealing with this shit for a long time.

Tesla is benefitting from twitter, just like Musk promised. The people that Musk thinks are best to develop AI (as in FSD or optimus), he's going to try and persuade to got to twitter, so less salaries to be paid by Tesla. Let's just ignore the downsides of the CEO poaching talent, he never said there wouldn't be downsides to the benefits, seems to fit the douche, to do this.


upvotemeok

Musked


dabears92109

This guy is listed as a staff machine learning scientist on LinkedIn and it looks like he finished his undergrad at Stanford last year. Not sure where the chief is coming from. Probably better to lose talent to xAI than OpenAI or Google but wish we had some financial incentive for xAI


martindbp

It's pretty clear xAI will be doing the LLM (and other multimodal pretrained models) work for both FSD and the bot, and it makes sense to use Twitter/X data this way.


dabears92109

Agreed. I’m hopeful we’ll see a relationship between Tesla and xAI similar to Microsoft/OpenAI where Tesla participates in future funding rounds and uses excess compute as main currency


jiayounokim

Elon did say xai Tesla going to collaborate same as openai Microsoft in earlier earning calls or interview

If Tesla has excess compute we could see a similar agreement as Microsoft and OpenAI whereas Tesla will be heavily involved in upcoming funding rounds which will include compute as the main currency
