Silicon Valley Insider Runs for California Governor
Bloomberg Technology· 2025-09-05 20:22
This is early in a cycle. It seems there will be a crowded field of many political heavyweights, likely others from the technology industry. What chances do you really have of being governor of California.There's a lot of other candidates that are running mostly from Southern California, most of whom are politicians. My view is if you are generally happy with the way things are going in California, you have lots of other options. If you are looking for a systematic reset and a complete change, I present a d ...

So it's included a shareholder initiated proposal for Tesla to invest in X A. I. Your reaction, please.Great. Very happy. Obviously, we have worked on that for a while now.It all started last year when another retail shareholder, Gali, asked Deal on whether that is possible.

New Pay Package Could Make Musk a Trillionaire
Bloomberg Technology· 2025-09-05 19:43
You are indeed the founder managing partner, Steve. I'm really interested as to some of these milestones. Yes, it's about market capitalization, which is extraordinary.But to get 20 million cars on the road, to get 10 million of those with FSD, to get 1 million robots, 1 million robot taxis. Is that realistic. Well, I think that's going to be awfully hard for Tesla to do.And again, I support incentive based pay packages for CEOs and pay packages. Sounds astronomical, but so are the milestones to get it. He' ...

Deep sea, actually, despite the sort of volatility of April, which deep sea cause in markets, it moves slower than some of the other Chinese names working on models. But the whole point is that this is a genetic. They want something that goes beyond the chapel.Yeah, that's right.
