He wanted to give himself a $56B compensation?

It's worth noting that companies can change the state that they are incorporated in. Elon is considering changing Tesla to Texas. After he changes, I wonder if Elon's lawyers can get this re-litigated somehow?

This is absurd. Elon deserves the package.

The guy that sued and just made Elon Musk lose 55 Billion dollars only had:

NINE SHARES OF TESLA STOCK.

Anyone saying this package is unreasonable likely doesn't know that:

- This compensation package was approved, and he would only obtain payout if and only if Tesla reach some considerable aggressive milestones. - This was in 2018 when the company was not doing well relatively. - The shareholders at the time voted 74% in favour of the package.
