Different packages were struck down I think. The first he appealed and failed. So they approved another package this year and this is the result.
Imagine what $51 billion would do for the average Tesla employee if it were split up evenly amongst all employees. But yes, give this one guy more money than he can ever use in infinite lifetimes.
the 56b divvied up would be about 400k per employee (based on 2023 headcount from wiki). i think he's fired more than hired this year, so it'd be a bit more than that.
Life changing amounts of money. Instead he’s getting bragging rights to the 5 other people in the world like him.
127,000 USD.
Capitalism is a dream because you aren't the capitalist.
It's a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.
I didn't think he'd mind the paraphrase. It's another idea Carlin talked about in his shows.

We just need a general rule: no company may offer more in compensation to any person than one hundred times the value the company paid in compensation to its lowest paid worker.
Add in words and details to make sure there aren't any loopholes, of course, and the problem will be largely solved across the board.
I think even that would have issues. The fix is easy. Tax the holy fuck out of any earnings over $10 million. You can take that payment away from your company, but it will do very little to benefit you.
