Musk's $1 Trillion Robotaxi Dream Runs on AI and Tariffs

Tesla just dropped its Q3 earnings mixtape: profits missed expectations, but revenue hit record highs thanks to Elon Musk's ambitious vehicle deliveries stretching across Austin, Nevada, Florida, and Arizona. Musk confidently declared '100% confidence' in full self-driving AI at 'safety levels far greater than a human'—which sounds reassuring if you enjoy thrilling rides without a pilot. Meanwhile, the $1 trillion pay package. Yes, trillion. Freshly cooked for Elon, necessitates shareholder votes on November 6 amid accusations from proxy firms labeled 'corporate terrorists.' Optimus V3 robots won't debut until early 2026, after engineers survive endless Friday-Saturday meetings wrestling with robotic hand sorcery. To top it off, Tesla inked a $16.5 billion chip deal with Samsung in Texas, aiming to flood the AI chip market like a Texas BBQ gone wild. Tariffs cost Tesla $400 million in Q3, slicing operating income like an overcooked steak. Enjoy the ride!

Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package is less a salary and more a sci-fi prophecy: robotaxis without drivers by year's end, robots still stuck in engineering meetings, and tariffs carving $400 million out of Tesla’s wallet. Buckle up, the future’s glitchy.

Elon’s 'corporate terrorists' must love their new nickname—because calling proxy firms that criticize a trillion-dollar CEO pay package anything else is just polite. Tesla shareholders decide November 6 if Musk’s dream is worth a trillion nightmares.
