Details reported today suggest to me he's more than just a billionaire edgelord:

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/08/tech/elon-musk-xai-digital-un...

> Musk has pushed back against guardrails for Grok [...] Musk has “been unhappy about over-censoring” on Grok “for a long time.” [...] At one meeting in recent weeks before the latest controversy erupted, Musk held a meeting with xAI staffers from various teams where he “was really unhappy” over restrictions on Grok’s Imagine image and video generator

...how are the shareholders not in revolt over this?


The stock seems completely disconnected from the antics of Musk. I would think that having a CEO who is clearly a heavy ketamine user and spends more time playing politician than actually running the company would have a negative impact on the stock, but tesla's stock has been divorced from reality for a long time.


The shareholders have always been revolting. The question is why are they not rebelling.
