Well deserved respect as well. Mr Elson is one of the better (if not among the best) SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) I have seen ANY PODCAST bring on to explain something. I saw people like Common Sense Skeptic (CSS) do these massive takes on how Elon was going to be smashed in the Solar City case AND WHEN you look at the material (including actual court transcripts) they presented it looked quite logical to think Elon was going to be smashed. CSS and others have said NOTHING about why they were wrong and they were wrong. In comes Mr. Elson and its explained in minutes. This is what happens when people engage genuine SMEs to discuss and explain things.

Honestly need a supercut of all Prof G cold opens

Loved the bit about superstar CEOs and weak boards that hand them everything they ask for. It's time boards realize that they are there to defend the stock owners, not their buddy CEO that they go golfing with on Saturdays.

Very insightful commentary from Mr Elson. More please.

"Saw my uncle on CNBC and thought 'we should get him on'" paraphrasing but that's hilarious 😂

I fear for this generation. They believe that Elon's compensation package was "fair" as long as they get theirs. What happened to corporate governance and the government's ability to hold these people in check? Thank you for bringing on a competent person to talk about the subject. Perhaps this generation needs a 1920s level event to learn the lesson. What a shame.

Elon Musk, through Tesla, has moved the entire international auto industry and market to electrification. Full electrification is now inevitable. Better, more reliable, easily charged anywhere, and 3 to 5x more energy efficient and cost effective. This is the greatest contribution to abatement of global warming of the century. Yet, the big 3 still drag their feet, because they cant sell electric cars. Meanwhile Teslas are the top selling cars in the world, and the saffet by any measure to boot. I have several friends who work there, and they say they work their asses off, but they love it. They get paid well, and they feel that they are helping to save the world. and they are, Literally and significantly. You were expecting to counteract civilization threatening global warming in a generation without extreme effort and some chaos?

Ed is smart.

My problem is that they didn't care before he hit his targets. They should've done something before the targets were met. And not pay these lawyers $5,000,000,000.00 If the lawyers were to make $20,000 then maybe this wouldn't be as bad... Regardless this is bad on the whole judicial system. Does this mean if you vote the wrong way that the laws will be fully enforced on you. And if you're liberal then don't enforce it the same? Imagine if I agree to do a job and then they take me to court after the job is done because they didn't like that I used the wrong negotiator thus having them keep the product and not pay for it. It's almost stealing.

The fact that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan helped to defend Israel from missile and drone attacks by Iran is a good start to getting these nations on board.

All the respect in the world for Scott, but his support for the Saudi-Israeli human rights abuses gives me nausea

Why don't pollsters ask the question: "How much do prices matter in your opinion of the economy?"

I feel like Charles was fair and could truly see the middle ground. Although, he missed the fact the Delaware courts forced Elon to finally purchase Twitter. I wouldn't hold as many shares if Elon was to leave Tesla and he should have an outsized ability to implement decisions and move Tesla quickly.

Scott's in a good place = no raunchy joke at the beginning? I don't like where this is going.

Confused... Sam got you off twitter, but Monica got you back on twitter? The AI seems to be hallucinating a bit (byte) more on this one--though coming off of Ted, perhaps it's just still recovering from asphyxiation; a room literally filled with its own flatulence.

Elon can do whatever he wants with his shares or his time. This is overreach. America is a free country shareholders can vote Elon out should they choose. Until then if he is following the law of the lands he shouod be left alone.

“Acquisition in kind” the Microsoft acquisition end round

It’s easy to argue the details 5 years after the fact. Rule #1: You always pay the piper! The board knows this and the shareholders do too. Elon will be made whole.

Vote no

If Ed’s uncle hasn’t got a regular slot after this outstanding debut, then I’m going to very upset!

Would love a compilation of the jokes.

Don't agree with your stance on Elon. Or maybe I do agree on one point that he blew the Tesla stock out of the water and in comparison to that his grant was little and justified

The pay package for Thomas Edison is worth it. He only gets paid if he hits targets. He wins if I win (stock price going up) Owning Tesla without Elon is a joke.

Biggest compute build out in history too again tied to ai

Elon was not asking for 20% more of the economic interest, he is asking for more voting control. Why should he work hard to build a business and have someone come in and take it over at some point when the co is vulnerable. Elon has choices. He will always get funded if he choses to start a new business. Most CEOs are not in the same position as Elon as he has choices as to how he spends his time.

WTF was that? This Elson guy looks like a movie character. 😂

Yes, I agree the economy is a phenomena. The individual (lower and middle class) is hurting. This is not just politics, folks. The restaurants, grocery stores, barbers, insurance, healthcare, mortgages, mechanics, gas stations, contractors, utilities, have been stimulated so much they passed the increase on each and every one of us, and the rich do not feel it because their lives do not change. Meanwhile the majority does and is fed up by this old argument

Americas economy is sloshing around not just American debt but global debt, in addition to the proceeds of global production turned savings over the past 30 yrs. There's so much fat in the system it only hurts small start up's and young people's prospects at first, having raised interest rates and so quickly. Terms haven't even expired yet and bloated assets like property haven't corrected given the suffering present still by unaffordable real estate. It takes time for rates to catch up with the people who hold most of the wealth. It squeezes everyone else first, exacerbating the problem and which proves to be the trigger for lowering rates - when it hurts the wealthiest.

Your analysis highlights the complexities and challenges of economic policy decisions, especially their impact on various segments of society.

Musk is not asking for more equity in Tesla. He is asking for more voting rights without any other equity (a different class of shares). The compensation package at issue was already agreed upon with the consent of the BOD, the shareholders, and Musk. The Delaware judge made a political ruling which is proving out to be very inequitable to the shareholders. Only in our truly backwards, modern world is a judge acting equitably by damaging the shareholders on behalf of a short seller, and their attorneys (who are seeking 6 billion in attorney fees). The acquisition of Twitter, and its proprietary data, will end up being a major boon to Tesla's future AI aspirations. Personal biases seem to be coloring the rationality of this conversation.

Galloway was right to push back in favor of Musk. Elon isn't a normal CEO.
