All tension at Tesla disappeared when Elon Musk received enough money and pledged to turn Tesla into the “AirBnb of the electric vehicle industry”.
During a recent meeting with shareholders in Austin, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk was extremely excited to appear on stage with sweet words: “I want to start with the confession that I love everything. People”.
Elon Musk’s joy is well-founded when Tesla shareholders voted to re-award the $46 billion that the Delaware court had previously rejected. Thus, Elon Musk will receive the largest bonus ever received by a CEO in history.
This result was achieved after a lobbying campaign by Tesla’s board of directors warning that Elon Musk could leave if he did not receive a worthy remuneration.
However, Elon Musk will not receive money immediately because there are still other legal disputes and the Judge must also consider whether this compensation package is fair or not, which could give rise to lawsuits. new and caused a long legal battle.
In addition, Tesla shareholders also voted to move the company’s headquarters from Delaware to Texas, thereby subjecting it to another state’s legal framework and complicating lawsuits.
New chapter for Tesla
Despite the challenges ahead, the crowd cheered after the results of the Tesla shareholder vote were announced. Tesla boss Elon Musk ignored criticism during the event in Austin and continued to stir up the atmosphere with bright prospects for electric vehicles such as self-driving technology.
“We not only opened a new chapter for Tesla but also created a new story for the entire industry,” Elon Musk proudly said.
Referring to the future financial situation, Elon Musk said that Tesla’s total capitalization could increase 110 times compared to today based on “the general situation of the auto market”.
“I firmly believe that this will happen,” Elon Musk affirmed that Tesla’s value will increase sharply.
In the same vein, famous female investor Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest fund said they believe Tesla’s total capitalization could reach $8 trillion and predicts the electric car company’s stock price could reach $2,600. in 2029.
Billionaire Elon Musk said that Tesla will immediately upload self-driving software to all vehicles on the market when the technology is perfected, creating a large revenue stream for the company. However, this plan is facing the management of authorities due to concerns about safety issues, technological perfection as well as legal frameworks in case of accidents. For example, who will be responsible when a self-driving car causes an accident? The driver or the business providing self-driving software?
This delay makes Tesla shareholders worried as they are being surpassed by Chinese electric vehicle businesses thanks to their cheap products, beautiful designs and equally advanced technology, while Elon Musk’s empire has for many years remained There is no major new car line yet.
“AirBnb of the electric vehicle industry”
According to Elon Musk, self-driving car technology will help the company make money like the business model of Uber or AirBnb when car owners or automakers pay to rent this technology from Tesla, creating a fleet of automatic electric taxis without the need for cars. driver.
To put it more simply, people can turn their electric cars into temporary self-driving taxis, just like AirBnb rents apartments into temporary hotels.
“If you go away for a week, just use Tesla’s application. Your car will be added to the self-driving taxi fleet and help make money even when you are absent,” Elon Musk said to the cheers of the crowd. in Austin.
Tesla boss commented that this change is only a matter of time, sooner or later.
Previously, Elon Musk predicted that self-driving electric vehicles would reach 1 million units by 2020, but this number actually did not come true because they are not yet a popular mode of transportation.
“I have to admit that sometimes I’m a bit optimistic… but if I wasn’t optimistic, electric cars wouldn’t become a reality, Tesla’s factories wouldn’t exist like they do now,” Elon Musk said.
