So apparently Musk is hosting a twitter space with Vivek Ramaswamy, Alex Jones, and Andrew Tate.

Tell me again why anyone would use his POS social media platform?

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Elon Musk is not entitled to a landmark compensation package awarded by Tesla’s board of directors that is potentially worth more than $55 billion, a Delaware judge ruled Tuesday.

The ruling by Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick comes more than five years after a shareholder lawsuit targeted Tesla CEO Musk and directors of the company. They were accused of breaching their duties to the maker of electric vehicles and solar panels, resulting in a waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment for Musk.

The shareholder’s lawyers argued that the compensation package should be voided because it was dictated by Musk and was the product of sham negotiations with directors who were not independent of him. They also said it was approved by shareholders who were given misleading and incomplete disclosures in a proxy statement.

Tesla was valued at about $50 billion at the time of the compensation package and that value increased by 20x after and so I would argue that the shareholders of Tesla were amply rewarded by keeping Musk onboard.

Don't worry about Elon though. Tesla will now have to renegotiate his compensation package and as the market has indicated that it sees value in Musk as CEO of Tesla his new pay might surprise (and enrage) you.

I am enraged by first the idea that a corporation only has an obligation to its stockholders, and that any man's labor is worth more than any other man's labor. Both are morally bankrupt values.

Now that the site has been rebranded as X (entirely dumb and narcissistic to do so) what are tweets called now? Exes?

So just like Twitter it looks like Musk is bored with Tesla

Or it could be he can't compete with GM.

1. Nobody thinks that a corporation has obligations only to its stockholders.

2. So you think Tom Izzo should be paid the same as Dusty May?

Someone who has never read what right wing economists such as Miltion Freidman(sp) say about who corporations are responsible to satisfy.

The belief that one man is worth more than any other man is insane, yet here we are.

Tom's labor is worth the same amount. Capitalism is a nihilistic system.

Anyone else on this board agree that Tom Izzo should be pain the same amount as the guy who cuts his lawn? Anyone??

maybe, in another display of fragile masculinity, he'll send up one of his toy rockets and we can laugh again when it explodes. Elon Musk and Twitter - Page 20 502811600

At the current time Musk is the only American capable of sending people into orbit and he has done so with 100% reliability.

space nerd note: Boeing is supposed to be launching their Starliner in the near future so they may join the club.

I wish I was as easily impressed with a guy blowing up rockets as you seem to be.

Anyone on the board believe that Tom Izzo has done more to change life on earth than Jesus Christ, who wasn't paid at all?

I think NASA counts, and what the real value to putting people in space is can be debated.
