personally I would vote against my bosses wishes if they told me who to vote for even if the alternative is someone against my belief.

Elon Musk has been infected with the brain worms
I don't even get what that post is referring to. Sure, Blackrock and other foreign corporations are grabbing up land/houses and renting it to people for twice what the mortgage would have been, but we know that Elon is specifically pro landlords. So what is he talking about? Immigrants? If he thinks they own land he's delusional and too far gone. Women? If the white women like foreigner rizz more than white man rizz that should tell them something is wrong with them, not the immigrants.

Let me point out that women are property to that poster and, as evidenced by retweeting, Elon, to be given away. A commodity just like land.
isnt Telsa's main operations in the Austin DA's juristicion?
maybe moreso since he moved that or spacex from Delaware to TX

Are public companies required to have a board or something similar to watch for stock holder's interests? (like twitter not having a stupid name that tosses a decade of branding, or having *freespeechz* rules that chase every major ad buyer from the site, or removing the people that kept the now rampant horde of pornbots from chasing away users)
"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.
I'm unfamiliar with the specifics but I do know there are fiduciary responsibility laws that bind a company to lead itself in a profitable direction and if any of the stock holders believe that someone is leading the company in the wrong direction they can sue to remove that CEO or other executive that they suspect is ruining the value.

It's the same (very) old patriarchy scam, not even in new clothing, but in the tattered remains of ancient finery. And make no mistake, patriarchy is not about empowering men, or even fathers - it is about keeping concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a proportionately tiny group of men. (So of course it is where unrepentant billionaires end up.)
"For the present this country is headed in directions which can only carry ruin to it and will create a situation here dangerous to world peace. With few exceptions, the men who are running this Government are of a mentality that you and I cannot understand. Some of them are psychopathic cases and would ordinarily be receiving treatment somewhere. Others are exalted and in a frame of mind that knows no reason."

Fun fact about Teslas: their door locks are electrical rather than mechanical so an electrical failure such as, say, one induced by backing your car into a body of water, will in fact trap you in the car.
I mention this for no apparent reason.

There are a variety of tools designed expressly for this purpose, some of which also have a built-in device to cut your seatbelt since those can jam as well.
Who makes an electric lock that defaults to locked when power fails? The few reasons you might want such a design (vaults and safes, mostly) should have battery backups so it's not an issue, and shouldn't be intended to have people inside them with the doors closed in the first place.
That's the kind of design choice that should get everyone involved in the design charged with involuntary manslaughter when it inevitably kills someone.
That's been a problem plaguing Tesla owners for ages now. Lots of stories of having to literally break into their own cars because of a dead 12-volt battery--which also keeps the charging port shut so they can't just plug it in even if they have access to a charging station.
Can't speak for other brands.
But Fiat's electric cars have mechanical door locks. The first thing the sales rep showed when I leased mine was the manual release. Does it have electrical door opening buttons? Yes, it does. But those are very much an aesthetic choice and the real door handle is there and pretty obvious once you know about it.

Because then you could unhook the battery and just open the door which is obviously unsecure /s
the very obvious answer is to simply always have a mechanical backup, that way you can default the electronic lock to locked and not trap people on either side of the door should the power fail.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
