@arstechnica none of it matters. Muskrat is going to do what Muskrat wants. And he has a board that is so loyal that he could paddle all their rear ends and they'll be like Kevin Bacon in Animal House saying, "Thank you sir! May I have another?"

Anyone that thinks the Tesla board will get rid of Muskrat are kidding themselves...

@arstechnica Tesla should remove him from the CEO position. He has obviously led Tesla's technology to stagnation and is sucking resources from the company.

@arstechnica If done without proper authorization from Tesla's board this could be characterized as criminal theft. I also get this tingling that says "check for SEC rule violations".

@arstechnica If anybody sees a man who looks suspiciously like Elon Musk selling GPUs out of the back of a broken down Cybertruck... please get a picture for me

@arstechnica if he's just taking the hardware and moving it to other companies, add it to the pile of reasons the board should fire Musk alongside everything else he's done.

Selling the GPUs to his other ventures though would probably be OK. It might even give a nice tax benefit by letting the company write down depreciation "losses" on otherwise perfectly good graphics cards. I somehow doubt he's being all that clever in his self-dealing though.
