Elon Musk's Compensation Dispute
Elon Musk's attempts to reinstate a previously approved $56 billion pay package ended in rejection by a Delaware judge, who upheld a prior ruling. The judge criticized the notion of allowing defeated parties to amend facts to revisit judgments, emphasizing the need for judicial integrity. This ruling has sparked controversy, particularly as Tesla shareholders previously ratified the compensation plan, leading some to question the fairness of the judicial process. Musk's response included claims of corruption, asserting that such rulings undermine shareholder rights in Delaware corporations.
