Elon Musk had an extremely profitable year in the form of 2020. Not only are both Tesla and SpaceX performing extremely well, but the man became the second richest person in the world-beating Bill Gates for the Spot. That’s something to be proud of.
But at the end of the year, Musk announced that he is meeting up with the co-founder of Oracle, Larry Ellison “to seek some advice.” For those who don’t know, Larry Ellison is the world’s 11th-wealthiest person and joined Tesla’s board in 2018. In December 2020, he announced that he was leaving California to work from the Hawaiian island of Lanai.
“I’ve received a number of inquiries about whether or not I will be moving to Texas. The answer is no. I’ve moved to the State of Hawaii and I’ll be using the power of Zoom to work from the island of Lanai.”
Ellison, owns 98% of Lanai, Hawaii’s sixth-largest island. He is the main employer of Lanai’s 3,000 residents and owns three hotels, and also a significant chunk of the housing stock as well as the main grocery store and the monthly newspaper corporation. He is the Hawaiian overlord.
Must announce that earlier in December that he was relocating to Texas from California, and in his tweet announcing that his jet had landed in Hawai. When a user pointed out that Musk was enjoying a much-deserved vacation. The world’s second-richest man responded that he wasn’t there on vacation but to seek advice from Larry Ellison.
As to what will Musk bring to Tesla’s table after his supposed get-together with Ellison remains to be seen.
