Summary via ChatGPT

A Delaware judge invalidated Elon Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay package for a second time, citing undue influence and unfair terms set by Musk. Despite shareholder approval earlier this year, the court ruled the process failed to address governance concerns and transparency. The judge emphasized the board's failure to prove the compensation plan's fairness, suggesting alternative, reasonable payment options were possible. Tesla may appeal the decision or propose a new compensation plan.

Wow, you have constructed quite the fantasy world for Muskrat. One where his is an innovator, hard but consistent, a mentor, a teacher, an imperfect vessel who is more good than bad.

Pardon me while I throw up. He is not actually CEO of two companies. That is not even possible. He is not also involved with five other companies, he doesn't have the time. He doesn't take care of his twelve kids and is on record already disowning his child like the piece of shit he is.

He does not know more about manufacturing than anyone else. He knows what he pays people to tell him. He is a charlatan and a conman by trade. He lies and says he will deliver on driverless taxis (one of his many lies) to drive up his stock. That is fucking fraud my friend.

He is instead a drug addict narcissist loser who pretends he knows shit but just borrows and buys all the advice he needs. A classic Nepo baby whose degenerative behavior runs in his family.

Twelve kids with three partners and probably a lot more he has paid to abort or threatened to silence. One thing we do know is he spends a lot of time trying to and fucking his employees.

If he was a saint he would the the saint of misinformation. He bought a company with other people's money and let them turn it into a propaganda outlet used to manipulate countries and subvert democracy.

Everyone says he is a raging asshole. His previous partners say they can't recognize him anymore.

You know what though? I am going to trust Sir Special Ed a Lot on this and start sucking Elon's butthole.

One thing no one can deny is he is one of the world's best modern con artists. Between what he has done to make a killing in crypto pseudo-legally and him dodging SEC violations like Neo from the Matrix is super impressive.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The best con artist would not have a third of the world realizing he is full of shit.

You are right about him getting away with fraud. It is apparent that it is nothing unusual though as every rich white man seems to get a free pass to break the law.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Actually the better con artist can have a ton of people know who he is and pull the same con over and over again, and he is doing that in spades. It's like he doesn't even need to hide it he is so good.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It is more a indictment of modern society as we have a lot of wealthy conartist including our new POTUS doing the same thing. You only have to look at examples like the pillow guy to see just about anyone can make it big with the right connections.

So is he really good or is the environment just bad and allows these charlatans to operate with impunity. I definitely lean towards the later.

He is not actually CEO of two companies. That is not even possible.

You betray your own ignorance. It's absolutely possible to be CEO of multiple companies. Ask any entrepreneur- a great many of them are running multiple businesses.

If you want to argue that it's not possible to be a GOOD ATTENTIVE CEO of multiple companies because there's not enough hours in the day, that's valid and a lot of people have criticized him for that.

He doesn’t take care of his twelve kids

I'm sure he gives them lots of money. But in terms of real time- I doubt he spends much time being a dad because he simply doesn't give himself the time to spend. I'm sure his kids get like an hour or two a week or something.

He is instead a drug addict

Why, because he smoked a joint on a podcast? I get that you hate him but when you make criticisms like this you betray your own position, that you're striking out because you hate him not because you have valid criticisms. It takes away from your actual criticisms (some of which are valid).

Everyone says he is a raging asshole.

I never said he wasn't. In fact I personally know multiple people who have worked almost directly for him. They quit because in Elon world there's no work life balance there's just the work and you're expected to devote all your time to it like he does.

I'd probably never want to work for him. From what I hear, he is quite an asshole sometimes especially to his employees. That doesn't mean he's never done anything good, or that he's incapable of good.

Few things in life are black and white. Most are shades of gray.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The average CEO works 60+ hours a week. He is not CEO of two companies. Listen, Elon could give you the title of best dick sucker in the world but it really just means you want to suck his dick. Titles without the actual work are bullshit

Oh so glad he gives his kids money. That is what life is all about amiriiight? Stop making excuses for the fact that he is a shit dad who has already disowned his own kids.

The fact that Elon is a drug addict is well known. It really just shows you don't know what the fuck your talking about.

Stop pretending you know anything about Musky because every time you open your mouth you just come across as a fanboi apologist. It is pretty pathetic.
