    Regarding Musk's $56 billion pay package, should Tesla shareholders BEFORE approving FIRST demand from Musk to give written, legally-binding guarantees on how precisely he wants to develop AI at Tesla and explain how his other company xAI won't compete with Tesla?

  • What’s the point of “growth” stocks with nowhere to grow?

    I am over 50k in student loan debts being a teacher and learning stocks would help help me pay even some of it off… Right now I play it pretty safe (and kind of dumb to be honest) through Robinhood because I am not sure what I am doing… I already know this looks very…
