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.

    ruling that Musk had individually “controlled Tesla” and dictated the terms of his compensation to a board that didn’t fairly negotiate.

    I’d like like to know more about the makeup of this “board” who I assume were all hand picked by Musk.
