Elon Musk has trapped Tesla shareholders in a vicious cycle that has nothing to do with he company’s performance or mission anymore. He is linking a vote for his compensation package, worth up to $1 trillion and more control over the company, to the future of Tesla and, in his delusions of grandeur, “the future of the world.”

He literally said that.

How far would you be willing to go to get $1 trillion? Would you be willing to lie?

Tesla, under the control of Elon Musk, is in full-on marketing mode right now, but it’s not to sell its electric vehicles, whose sales have been down for 2 years now. It’s to sell shareholders on voting for a new, unprecedented compensation package for Musk.

And he took out ads with Giggle.
