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.

      The guillotine was actually meant to be painless. Properly constructed and sharpened it pretty much is. Or so I’m told.

        Eh, I think all those pain receptors in your neck will send signals to your brain just fine, for a while.

        The brain is alive for minutes afterwards so don’t know what it would feel like.

        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.
