  • I don’t see how. This is just a continuation of what he was already doing, facilitated by a board of his friends and relatives.

    Even worse I have to say I’m not totally against it. All too often ceos get excessive pay regardless of their results. While I haven’t looked in detail not at the history, the claim is these are only for Tesla meeting some extremely ambitious milestones and the payment is stock. Certainly his previous ridiculous allay was in stock and Tesla had some extraordinary growth. If the stock doesn’t go up, then he should never receive that wealth

    If it’s truly contingent on the company growth and the board doesn’t throw him a life preserver, that’s not entirely bad. Excessive yes. Extremely excessive. Excessively excessive. But more execs need to have their wealth gated on actual results

    • someone was creative, had an idea, packaged it nicely, and offered it to the world. I want to support that, encourage more of it

    I’m not sure if I’ll get one but it’s definitely tempting
