He didn’t create anything. Tesla got acquired by the index funds. If he gets the pay package be prepaid for Tesla to drop 50-70%. The index funds might dump Tesla from the S&P and Nasdaq. Most people buy index funds to invest in and musk is just robbing 3% of the value from everyone’s savings. Tesla doesn’t need an over payed drug addicted CEO that doesn’t even care about the company. He will just take that money for other projects. Musk is not that valuable, he doesn’t even do anything for Tesla other than send annoying tweets. That’s not worth 50B. I sold all my Tesla back at $280. I bought it when the cyber truck started to get released and then immediately dumped it for a small loss when this came out.’

He has no shares, he is playing monopoly with other people's money. Pension fund... Also I have a feeling most of the money these parasites throw around aren't in fact pensions. It's just called that to hide the fact they use the money banks print through quantitative easing to acquire and control as much of the economy as possible.
Not sure which car can drive itself with a software thats one of the most advanced, makes energy storage devices, energy harvestors, develops robots, is redefining the idea of mobility, energy and automation... meanwhile a guy in a suit - "Tesla is a car company"
The pay package was already agreed on…years ago. We voted for it. It passed. He surpassed the benchmarks. A deal’s a deal. This is the sort of guy who eats at a restaurant and then leaves before the check comes.
It's a technology company, not just a car manufacturer. They created the factory that builds the car, with infinitely scalable underlying software. Cars, Optimus, and FSD are all just applications. You were right on target as a venture investor, but you got too cocky once your investment paid off and forgot what you had invested in. I voted for elons pay with my 200 shares.
I feel sorry for all his pension clients, they will not see a red cent.
Chris states Tesla has a 60 PE ratio and Nvidia has a 40 PE ratio but the actual is Tesla is 45 PE ratio and Nvidia is 72 PE ratio? How can a CFO of a pension company be so off on what the PE ratios are? Of course this TTM but looking ahead Tesla earnings will probably start increasing again.

At any company, if some manager gets billions in pay package but employees have to "work for free" because company won't pay all of the required overtime, there is a big problem.
Teslees, do remember to vote for the pay package and do press confirm and do submit before June 12th 2024 11:59 PM Eastern Time. I went back to the voting page and found that I didn't confirm and submit which could originally resulted in my shares vote invalid !
If you will recall, shortly before the DE court recinded the compensation package, Elon asked the BoD for another Compensation package to the tune of $84 BILLION. If investors approve the package that's currently up for a vote, Elon will follow up with a request for another one.

The irony is, the compensation package is actually tied to Tesla and stock performance. Chris conveniently ignores that fact that this is not a cash payment, it is in fact shares. Those shares were reserved in 2018 and only went up if the company and stock did well. In addition, those shares, which are reserved at 2.3 billion could only be allocated when certain milestones were met. It's everything, Chris in this interview is asking for. He's either ignorant or misleading people

Take this guy to court, Elon.
It’s a compensation package, not a pay package. Musk does not get one penny of money from Tesla. Instead, when he exercises his options in the future, he will be required to pay Tesla a large sum of money to do so. That is a win, win, win for the Elon Musk, and Tesla, and each shareholder. As for the original compensation package, Elon Musk met every metric set forth to earn those stock options , and in the process made his shareholders huge amounts of money. He had a contract, and he deserved to get compensated per that contract.
Tesla is more than a car company. Please educate yourself
This guy has made a lot of great points. Make your money on capital gains. That’s the way to go.

Funny how the lawsuit is about the board not being independent, as they claimed during proposal, yet this guy is complaining about the value of the compensation. You would think he would have mentioned the lack of transparency, yet he’s just upset the pay package is 1/6 of how much he manages. Rich people hate when other people make money.

He claims in interviews that he's not even that interested in money... . Meanwhile, that pay package would be enough to cancel the entire national debt of Angola for example, and have enough left over to install a bunch of high speed rail lines. This sum of money to a single person is obscene.

@3:32, "Take some advice from Warren Buffet make your money in capital gains, not in salary." The Tesla deal in question isn't about salary. It's about options.
