Musk Wants *Your* Money Now. For Another Thing.

Right, so Elon’s at it again. Apparently running Tesla wasn’t enough of a clusterfuck, now he wants shareholders to pony up cash for his new AI vanity project, xAI. Because, you know, *that’s* what they signed up for when they bought TSLA stock – funding whatever half-baked scheme pops into his head this week.

They’re asking for a vote on transferring some of Tesla’s cash reserves to Delaware to create xAI there. Supposedly it’ll be “independent” but let’s be real, it’s just another way for Musk to play with toys while everyone else worries about car deliveries and Full Self Driving actually being… full self driving. The SEC is already sniffing around because of the whole “related party transactions” thing – surprise, fucking surprise.

The article says institutional investors are kinda pissed, which is a polite way of saying they’re seeing right through this bullshit. Proxy advisors are recommending against it too, but honestly, who listens to *them*? Probably enough retail investors will fall for the hype anyway. It’s all about Grok and competing with OpenAI, naturally. Like he doesn’t have enough on his plate.

Basically, prepare to fund another Musk adventure. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when it inevitably goes sideways.

Speaking of bad ideas funded by rich guys… I once had to debug a system where some venture capitalist decided he could build his own database using nothing but text files and Perl scripts. It lasted approximately three days before the entire thing imploded, taking half the server farm with it. The smell of burning silicon still haunts my dreams. Don’t even *think* about asking me to elaborate.
