    As of February 28, 2025, Elon Musk owns approximately 12.8% of Tesla.

    12.8% is not an enormous portion. It’s shocking how easily people spread misinformation.

          Maybe it’s because Mr. Controversial Gesture, alias Sir The Nazis Were Actually Leftists aka Dr. Only The AfD Can Save Germany rivals only Ford in his open support of fasism? You know, Henry Ford, the guy Adolf Hitler called “a great man”?

        It’s a 100% Nazi bar. If you’ve got a bar that allows one openly Nazi patron, then you’ve got a 100% Nazi bar.

      He owns over 410 million shares and is the largest single shareholder. That is an enormous amount

        It’s under 13% so while he’s the largest single owner, he still doesn’t own an enormous amount. He could easily be bought out.

            For a publicly traded company? Yes that’s an enormous amount in that context.

            Isn’t it?

            I don’t know what the threshold would be… but it would have to be over 50%. If I own 13% of my house, I wouldn’t say I own an enormous amount. I would I own 1/8th my house, which is pretty meagre.

              Your house isn’t a publicly traded company. That makes a big difference in this context.

                Only if you really want it to be different is it different. The reality is, it’s not. Words have meaning and 1/8th is not enormous. It’s literally a small fraction of the total.
