I feel bad for the engineers that work there. But I feel great that it's literally destroying musk net worth.

I don’t. They work for a terrible guy and they KNOW it.

Many of them are immigrants who got in with work visas so they can't easily change jobs. Elon knows this and exploits the situation. It's all just terrible.

See it like this for a less bleak angle: It's unlikely tesla is going to just close up shop, even if the trend continues. And if it gets really bad, there will likely be a sale of ownership.

If it continues like this the shareholders will pressure him to remove himself from the board. Sadly I think he still owns a controlling stake, so they can't fire him.
