I think that the money wasted in stock buyback could have better been used for R&D and acquisitions.

I also think [HOPE] that Steve Jobs would have responded appropriately to Carl Icahn in language that would not be suitable for me repeating here.

When I first read in Forbes about Icahn the article was praising him for having amassed a fortune of maybe $800 million.  Now, after many of his corporate victims are no more he might be worth $20 billions, if not a lot more.  It has not been just companies destroyed but the lives of many who lost their jobs.  

Project Titan is a very big risk project and even though Tesla is, so far, making it, but the failure rate for new car companies is very high.
