I don't know what to tell you Elon, if you can't make it happen on your current salary, maybe pick up another part time job on top of your part time job at Tesla. Times are tough right now, and we just increase compensation at this time.

As a tesla shareholder I never understood why would other shareholders ever want to give so much of OUR cash back to him, so he can waste it on another Twitter

Because a deal is a deal. An impossible task was given to Musk, and he was able to hit the targets. A new compensation deal would actually cost shareholders more. This decision is not in the shareholder's best interests.

The judge clearly doesn’t see that deal as fair for the reasons outlined in the ruling. What new deal are you talking about that will cost more than $56 billion?

Amazing, the Tesla share price is just about where it was ten years ago. Was down around $240 before the Nov election and is back to where it was ten years ago. I was an early Musk fanboy, bought into his PR and self-promotion hype. Great salesman but lousy at everything else.

So you ignore the actual achievements and financials?

Yes. Guess you didn't notice Tesla renting parking lots across LA to store unsold cars they manufactured before their shareholder meetings. Read they stopped manufacturing the rusting Cyber Trucks because of all the quality issues reported by customers.

Wait, so the massive compensation package was never delivered after that vote, and this nixes it?

Even though shareholders approved the compensation, they were lied to by the board in the voting documents. That's what the whole court case was over. The board said it was an arms length transaction in the filings, but it was actually all a bunch of paid off cronies.

Didn't follow this, but these documents usually disclose absolutely every possible conflict or risk. How did their lawyers not make this airtight? Or in this case disclosure is not enough and the vote was doomed no matter?
