How much debt are you in?

A fool and their money is easily parted. Whoever paid out these kinds of dollars for equity, the rest of the street is lolz at them

Don't disagree. Their direction as of late is confusing and seems pretty muddled. But that's what happens when you have a sigma male at the forfront, who kneejerks their directions around like a toddler with ADD. They need to throw the morons and their board full of grifters overboard, and get back to it. There's pretty clearly some smart people in that company, that is if they are still there, and probably not likely at this point.

Even before all of this, with that pay package. WTAF?

Apparently there's quite the revolt brewing for their AGM. They probably can't remove him before hand, because they need to turf the board here as well. It's been a long time since we've seen something like this, arguably if even ever? It's happened with lots of companies in the past, but not with one this high profile. At least that I can think of.

They are going down the toilet, because they are distracted. Look, they were the most reliable EV, and they were at the forefront of the EV revolution. They built the most robust and reliable charging network (one of the key reasons we went with Tesla over Hyundai or other options), and flipped the automotive retail marketplace on their head.

But they also unfortunately have their hard work and progress overshadowed by a complete narcissistic manchild of a CEO. Who somehow controls the company with only 17% of shares held, who has a corrupt and compromised board on his side that will cater to his every little whims. A CEO who gets distracted, first with this Cybertruck nonsense, then X, then SpaceX, who then derails all innovation and future development with everyone focused on this autopilot distraction, and now all this. If I was a shareholder, I'd be furious. As a customer, I'm not sure I can rely on them anymore (could I ever?), so my future purchasing decisions will be made with that in mind.

What goes up, must come down I guess. Sigh.

I'm absolutely sure this is going to suck. What a way to wreck a legendary franchise. These games were sooo good too. Shame on EA

It's nice of you to assume that everyone is as rich as all these virtue signalling celebrities. Yes musk is a piece of shit, no I'm not buying another one until they torpedo his ass, yes autopilot is a scam. But I also happen to like the car, it suits our lifestyle the best, it has a five star safety rating and I'm not a Nazi just because I bought a certain kind of car a couple of years ago. Do what you want to the dealers, go after the corporate people, but leave the innocent consumers alone. None of us asked for this shit either.

So I had a 2070 in mine, and updated last year to a 4070ti. I'm not going to lie to you here, the difference hasn't been earth shattering. I mean it's obviously better, but if you are gaming in 1080p, you should still be good for a bit yet. Games are released so horrendously optimized anymore, it doesn't matter if you have your own personal nuclear power plant powering a video card the size of Texas, it's still going to suck.

What card do you currently use?

But it's ENHANCED this time.

Now shut up and give us your money. We have shareholders to enrich, won't anyone just think about the shareholders...

As a pirate, I refuse to read.

Just wanted to say arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, though.

Shiver me timbers!

That's just it though. The top managers who make these decisions will probably be fine, half of them are probably at their desk this morning. It's always everyone else that has to pay the price for their management missteps.
