Elon Musk Busca la Aprobación de los Accionistas para un Paquete de Compensación de 1 Billón de Dólares Vinculado a Metas de IA y Robótica

"...Well, that’s not very subtle...."

"...It was a very strange way to persuade investors to vote in favor of the proposal that’s been put forward by the company’s board...."

"...And it amounted to an unsubtle threat that Musk could simply pick up his ball and go play somewhere else...."

"...Musk’s fears of being kicked out of Tesla conflict with his previous threats to simply leave the company if the pay package is not approved...."

"...It seems outlandish that Tesla’s board would ever consider ousting Musk, especially after they sat on their hands throughout the year as Musk’s hard-charging efforts for the Trump administration as head of DOGE led to a nationwide protest movement against Tesla and a dramatic drop in the company’s sales...."

"...If moonlighting as Trump’s hatchet man couldn’t get Musk fired, it’s hard to imagine what would...."

"...Musk also tried a different tactic during the earnings call: questioning whether the money was even that important to him...."

"...It wasn’t so long ago that Musk was sounding the warning about AI’s “threat to humanity.”..."

"...He famously compared work on AI to “summoning the demon,” and warned time and time again that the technology poses an existential risk to humanity...."

"...And he urged governments to start regulating AI before it was too late...."

"...Now he is posing a challenge to Tesla shareholders: Give me the power, or else...."

"...This coming from a guy who threw not one but two Nazi salutes at Donald Trump’s inauguration...."

"...Whose push to eliminate funding for humanitarian programs through USAID could lead to the deaths of millions of people by 2030, according to a recent study...."

"...Who claims to be a free speech absolutist while welcoming back white supremacists and election deniers to his social media platform...."

"...And who built a chatbot that declared itself to be “MechaHitler.”..."

"...Of course, Tesla’s Optimus robots are a long way from posing any sort of threat to society...."

"...They struggled to hand out popcorn at the company’s diner in Los Angeles...."

"...And they were revealed to be under remote control at Tesla’s Cybercab event last year...."

"...In the call, Musk acknowledged that it was difficult to build a robot hand that was as dexterous as a human one...."

"...The rest was the normal Musk histrionics: Optimus will be Tesla’s “biggest product of all time”; robot surgeons are a possibility; and the robot is like “an infinite money glitch” for Tesla, insofar as how much revenue it will generate...."

"...Proxy-advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis are advising Tesla shareholders to oppose Musk’s pay package, prompting the petulant CEO to call the firms “corporate terrorists.”..."

"...If past is prologue, shareholders are likely to approve the board’s proposal to gift Musk more control over the company by a wide margin...."

"...And if his predictions about Optimus come to pass, we’ll see what the world’s first trillionaire does with his new army...."
