Elon Musk's pay package granted in 2018 was the largest compensation plan in U.S. history for a public company executive.

Summary

A Delaware judge upheld her earlier decision to void Elon Musk’s $56 billion Tesla CEO pay package, ruling it was improperly granted due to Musk’s control over Tesla and flawed board negotiations.

Tesla’s attempt to overturn the ruling through a shareholder vote was rejected, with the judge warning against revising judgments with new facts post-trial.

Musk called the ruling “absolute corruption” and plans to appeal.

Meanwhile, Musk’s net worth has surged, driven by Tesla’s stock jump following optimism about his alignment with Trump’s policies.

    While a quick and painless death certainly falls short of the misery they cause, I’m more concerned about ending that misery to the masses; it’s not so much about punishing the oppressors. …even if they do deserve to be skinned alive and then drowned in a pool of lemon juice; that’s just more work than it’s worth.
