I believe I can give a overview on this question about the venue asked by @TeslaBoomerMama as I have attended the Tesla shareholder meetings from the very first year when there were only 15 people or so. And I support her question. I take the shareholder meetings seriously and I have often asked questions because as a long term investor it is the one time I have the privilege and chance to ask for more insight on the business from the visionary founder and CEO in Elon, of which I have supported from day one. I used to be able to go to the shareholder meeting with just my statement and ID. There was no lottery. As the retail base has gotten gigantic it has been increasingly hard to get an invite or a +1. Every year I have to seek a +1 if I didn’t get one. And this will only get worse as tsla becomes much bigger to 2T, 5T, 8T mrkt cap. The only way to accomodate more people is to have a bigger venue and therefore more people. How much bigger is up to Tesla but the current amount is not sufficient as so many are frustrated that they can’t attend and some falsely believe that only the same people ( big influencers) go because they get an invite which is not true since most people have to rely on their network of people to find someone for their +1. Tesla has definitely and absolutely have increased their security over the years as well as have a bunch of employees supporting the event and shuttling us in. Tesla also expanded their display of products and adding a great factory tour that was not possible to do before. They also added a merch store during the shareholder meeting and handed out cold bottled water. In the early days there was a handful of security at most. They have changed overtime and people who are paranoid have a view limited understanding on how much Tesla has grown and added security over the years. I also attended this year’s Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting and with the recent events they also made huge upgrades to their security and had them walking in the aisles checking on the audience during the entire meeting. Tesla will figure out FSD unsupervised and build Optimus and millions of vehicles. I am sure they can figure out the security aspect.

Those are simply facts

🇺🇸 Through smoke, surf, and fire two brothers faced the longest day together. Amid the chaos of D-Day, Jack and William fought shoulder to shoulder on the blood-soaked sands of Omaha Beach. They moved as one with courage, and by the will to survive until a single bullet tore their world apart. William fell. Jack ran to him, dragging his brother across the sand, whispering? “I’ve got you, Will. I’ll get you home. But William’s wounds were too deep. Jack held him close refusing to let go and carried his brother’s body back to the boat. “It was the hardest promise I ever kept,” he would say, years later.”🕊️ #WWII #History #DDay

An 88-year-old Vietnam veteran sat weeping in his wheelchair as a judge prepared to condemn his crumbling home. Fines had piled up for repairs he couldn’t afford. Then—something changed. The judge paused, called a recess, and made a few quiet phone calls. When court resumed, he dismissed every fine and announced that local veterans and contractors would fix the house for free. Finally, the stern judge stepped down and hugged the old soldier. “You served us,” he said. “We don’t forget that.” ❤️

But a sour market might keep $TSLA from that $500 goal on 12/12 The plans for a massive chip fab and $10's of billions of spending on compute doesn't compute with the business press. $TSLA is just following the market around today, down almost exactly the same as $NVDA I go through details you might have missed from the shareholder's meeting yesterday

Why $2 trillion in taxes?
