Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's pay package in June, after it was voided by a judge in January. But that wasn't enough, the court ruled.
Summary via ChatGPT
A Delaware judge invalidated Elon Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay package for a second time, citing undue influence and unfair terms set by Musk. Despite shareholder approval earlier this year, the court ruled the process failed to address governance concerns and transparency. The judge emphasized the board's failure to prove the compensation plan's fairness, suggesting alternative, reasonable payment options were possible. Tesla may appeal the decision or propose a new compensation plan.
The replies on Twitter to Musk's legal team complaining about this decision are equal parts hilarious and day-ruining. People are really cheering for this man to get ~55 billion dollars. Like, it hurts their actual feelings that he's been denied such a payment, and they offer words of support to Musk like he's doing a life sentence and has been denied DNA testing that would prove his innocence by a capricious judge who built her political career on the initial murder trial.
I hope they're just bots. Bots expertly-programmed to annoy me specifically.
I can tell you first hand some are def real people. When I bring it up to this one friend they start to foam at the mouth and go on rants like they can't control themselves.
