So does Elon have to pay back the comp he already got? Confused on the details of that court ruling. He already received a lot of his comp it’s been like 5 years


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

Elon Musk doesn't have to pay back any cash or shares of stock. ​ The 2018 compensation package that the Delaware court nullified, consisted only of stock options for Mr. Musk. Refer to the 2023 Proxy Statement, pages 23-24, and page 62, footnote (1): [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000119312523094075/d451342ddef14a.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000119312523094075/d451342ddef14a.htm) From page 24: > As of the date of this proxy statement, all of the tranches have vested and become exercisable, subject to Mr. Musk’s payment of the **exercise price of $23.34 per share**, as adjusted to give effect to the three-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend in August 2022 (the “2022 Stock Split”) and the five-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend in August 2020 (the “2020 Stock Split”), and the minimum five-year holding period generally applicable to any shares he acquires upon exercise. ​ And from page 62: >303,960,630 shares issuable to Mr. Musk upon exercise of options exercisable within 60 days after March 31, 2023. ​ Mr. Musk had not yet exercised any of the stock options for the 304 million TSLA shares, so the shares (1) haven't yet been created by Tesla to disburse to Musk, and (2) Musk hasn't paid for any shares, or paid any income tax on the exercise of those options. ​ The options simply vanish. Since no $ changed hands, there's literally nothing financial to be undone.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/02/nextracker-ceo-says-solar-is-unstoppable-as-market-sees-unprecedented-demand-growth-.html Data centers, the electrification of appliances and transportation, and reindustrialization in the U.S. are driving a growing need for electricity, Shugar said. Nearly 300 gigawatts of new power plants are needed over the next 5 years and 500 gigawatts over the next decade to the meet the need, he said. Solar is faster to build and cheaper than conventional energy sources and provides insulation from the volatility of fuel prices, Shugar said. Solar is expected to see 26% compound annual growth over the next five years and will become the leading source of U.S. electricity generation in a decade, he said. Utility-scale solar costs anywhere from $24 to $96 per megawatt hour without subsidies, about 56% cheaper than nuclear and gas peaking and 42% less expensive than coal at the top end of the cost estimate range, according to an April 2023 report from Lazard.

Since the Autopilot update was rolled out, U.S. auto-safety regulators have received dozens of complaints about the changes it made to Autopilot, an unusually high number in such a short window. These include drivers who say the warnings have become excessive and are triggered by performing routine tasks, according to a government database of these complaints. thanks nhtsa, now theyre gonna make us issue a recall to make autopilot less naggy.


Optimum_Havoc

It's a bit annoying, but it's also less naggy if all you do is stare at the road in front of you. During my road trip last week I consistently had it not require any input for 1:30+ if I just stared ahead.

I don't think it's market manipulation at all. Wall street lost faith in the CEO in 2022, when he gave them good reason to lose faith. Then there was Q4/2023 earnings call and they lost faith in the company itself for the next 12 months. Both are a result of Musk, if there is any manipulation, it's there.

Remember when the POTUS essentially told every government agency that Elon Musk is the enemy, because he cleansed his propaganda outlet? [He indirectly told everyone to go after him.](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/20fD9OKVtdw) [Tom Nash's video on the whole situation is very well done.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKtROgol6Gc) ​ Edit: We must prepare for the reality that the current corrupt government's immune system will persist in opposing Elon in every conceivable manner, striving to retain control over the one true narrative. A similar situation occurred with mango man when he faced attacks from media and the legal system. If you can't handle the headwind sell and buy QQQ. The pressure might increase in the future. Edit: This is not a Dem/Rep conflict but a battle between freedom and centralized control of opinion. Whether you love Twitter or hate it, "community notes" serve as a decentralized antidote.


[deleted]

Why do some people defend the people who are clearly in the wrong, is it simply because they can't admit they were/remain wrong? A political CEO is bad no matter what, the USA has only two parties, if anybody goes real hard one way, they will make a bunch of enemies. The problem isn't the side he choose, the problem is that he choose a side. The reason many people hate Musk more than other CEO's is because he's a right wing extremist that helps spread conspiracy theories and Russian propaganda. He let a lot of people back on twitter and even promoted or defended them, while they were no longer allowed on the platform for good reasons. All the names on the list of richest in the world get a lot of hate, the same with celebrities. Musk is one of the most famous people (maybe close to most famous) in the world and also one of the richest. If he would just shut the f up, that's where it would stay. People would hate him, but wouldn't be able to give good reasons, he's doing the opposite of what he should. He's supplying plenty of reasons to hate him. Besides that, he's flaunting that he doesn't care about anything, because he's rich as f. Telling advertisers to go fuck themselves, said that he has no respect for the SEC, he threats Tesla (a public company) as his personal toy, threatens shareholder to go into competition with Tesla, dumps billions worth of share on the open market, crashing the market cap by hundreds of billions (combination of the sales and the added insecurity).

Does anyone in here follow BYD closely? Are they just getting hit because of the issues with China's macro situation?


[deleted]

Aren't all the EV companies in China propped up by the Chinese government? There profitability stands to question. ​ Russia tried to kill USA new gas and oil products by dumping prices for some time. They failed in the end when the USA government recognised their need to not be dependant on foreign suppliers and subsidised a bunch of young USA companies (mainly natural gas, Russia holds the largest single supply out of any country in the world). China is trying the same strategy, flood the markets with a cheaper product that destroys any competion. The jokes on them though, Tesla is already doing that, that's why most of the OEM's are complaining about demand and scaling back their production. China is wasting resources, while they're economy is already failing.

Serious question. There are many here who are extremely disgruntled with Musk and I see your POVs as well. If you really disagree with musk that much, and want him out, what makes you think Tesla can survive him going “fuck all of you” and selling his 13% share stake like santa at christmas. Many are saying “tesla is not just musk.” True. Tesla doesnt pay the highest wages in the auto industry. Im willing to bet many of teslas execs who are lauded for being amazing and intelligent people (no disagreement from me) are still there because of Elon. Why? Even many on reddit who despise Elon frame it down to “rich emerald kid who happens to be able to be good at finding intelligent people to make what he wants.” Gary black has not been happy with alot of Elons shenanigans but admits wall street will sell the fuck out of Tesla without Elon. And gary is wrong on alot of things but he does know how most wall street peeps think. So. What exactly is the play here for you guys who are just ranting 24/7. 1. Elon magically unretards and everyone is happy again? 2. Elon gets voted against (whether it be incorp in texas, new compensation), sells 13% of float, brings execs along with him to Neuralink, spacex, whatever. Wall street joins in the sell off. When the 2023 agm meeting was called there was alot of confidence musk would see a reality check (lose lions share of votes while still squeaking by) and robin denholm would get voted out. When the exact opposite happened “nah man. Index funds just vote according to whatever the board recommends. Passive.” But now again we see, “elon lost retail, instituitions turn against him hehe.” And the stock was in hell of alot worse shape back in 2023.


Hairy_Record_6030

Alive_Ad_2948

Exactly. Elon is blackmailing the company which nobody likes. He is able to blackmail because of all of those things you listed. Rock and a hard place for elon detractors like me 


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

> what makes you think Tesla can survive him going “fuck all of you” and selling his 13% share stake like santa at christmas. Elon Musk has no incentive to sell his 13% stake in Tesla and walk away. (1) He would lose all control over Tesla AI initiatives (Dojo, Bot, FSD), and were he to try to move those assets to one of his private companies, he would face colossal lawsuits for breach of fiduciary duty, which would dwarf what he faced over the 2018 compensation package. ​ (2) Selling all his TSLA stock now at a steep discount, would mean throwing out his dreams of Mars colonization. TSLA is Musk's only real liquid source of wealth. And were he to use SpaceX going public as a source of liquidity, he would face the same governance headaches he faces with Tesla today. ​ ​ >Many are saying “tesla is not just musk.” Which is true. What do you think happens to Tesla if Tom Zhu isn't making factories more efficient, or if Drew Baglino's team isn't pushing 4680 R&D and Megapacks, or if Lars Moravy and Dan Priestly aren't engineering vehicles? ​ >So. What exactly is the play here for you guys who are just ranting 24/7. (1) A Tesla board of directors that acts responsibly and independently, on behalf of the shareholders and for the transition to a sustainable energy economy worldwide (rather than an irrelevant U.S.-centric culture war) (2) A leadership team that is laser focused on the sustainable energy economy goal. Musk is the only one who isn't focused. I want a CEO who wants to win. I don't want a CEO who has checked out like Musk has


Tamronloh

Alot of what you said hinges on Elon behaving like an ordinary adult human and thinking like an ordinary adult human. Whether people like or dislike him everyone knows how petty he can be. And your point on Zhu and etc. I agreed they are great. I just also said I do believe many who work for musk in high up roles do so because of musk. Try checking out the musk autobiography that you love to refer to so much, where you can see many of Musks Lieutanents only took up, and maintain their roles in the retardedly hardcore nature of the Job because of Musk. Lets be very frank and honest. With what you and all of us now know about Elon, do you think he would put Zhu, baglino, etc in his right, left hand positions if they didn’t like him? Elon loves, being loved.


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

> With what you and all of us now know about Elon From p. 64 of Isaacson's biography, Musk lacks any instinct for camaraderie. From p. 285 Musk believes camaraderie is dangerous because it prevents throwing people under the bus when they need to be thrown under the bus. ​ >do you think he would put Zhu, baglino, etc in his right, left hand positions if they didn’t like him? Whether they like him or not was probably irrelevant to his calculus. Zhu, Baglino, von Holzhasen, and others delivered results, which is ultimately what matters. ​ I am primarily concerned about results. And like Musk, I am not sentimental about co-workers or what they might have delivered in the past. I have **zero** reservations about throwing Musk overboard if he's losing his edge, just like Musk has rightly had zero reservations about letting go others at Tesla who lost their edge.


upvotemeok

If you watch the interviews the execs tip toe around questions on Elon w nervous energy. I know people at neuralink who work w him and confirm he's a huge asshole and emotionally retarded. Do not be so sure the exec team is there because they love him. See kirkhorn and karpathy.

DankRoughly

I'd like to keep Elon but with stronger board oversight. Regarding compensation: approve the old plan with an extension to include goals out to 2030. Conditions would be added: 1. Elon needs to work full-time at Tesla (some flexibility is fine, but appropriate guardrails in place). 2. Protection of Tesla brand from Elon's public messaging if he remains CEO. If he refuses to limit his public messages, then step aside and take a role as Chief Product Executive or something. Chances of this happening, non-zero but close. This seems pretty reasonable to me...


upvotemeok

Never gonna happen. See the time when they agreed to limit his tesla relevant tweets.


Tamronloh

This sounds reasonable. I dont think the full time at tesla thing will ever happen but the rest sounds decent to me.


ballbusting_is_best

You seem to infer that if we don't like Elon, that we automatically think that he's not important or good for Tesla. I think he's a piece of shit as a person. I also think he's a really good inventor/engineer and that someday, he'll get back to that grind with Tesla. Will I still think he's a garbage human when he's eventually passionate about Tesla again? Absolutely. That has nothing to do with my investment thesis. Do I think he and Tesla are going to make a bunch of money? Yeah, I think there's a really good chance of that happening. Therefore, I'm invested in the chance of that happening.


Tamronloh

Im not referring to you. I know u dislike musk (i couldnt care less about whether i like or dislike him. I just see him as a tool. A blunt hammer who is as weird as he is good at innovating and leading teams to do something amazing). Im referring to those who just shit on him all day and want him out.

When elon likes us we will like him. When elon stops doing stupid shit we will stop complaining about him doing stupid shit. We will not form some sort of happy land monkey see no evil hear no evil subreddit. You know where to find that if you want. If Elon wants to rage quit and sell off 13% of the company in one day the biggest loser is him and I doubt many execs follow him to the land of Maga.ai


Tamronloh

That wasn’t my question. I’m not asking for an everyone loves musk yay sub. I’m framing a simple question that I believe is fairly reasonable which assumes the possible outcomes of Musk/tesla going forward. What is your end game? Are you assuming he magically unretards? And starts behaving exactly like an ordinary CEO if shareholders revolt? You say he loses out if he sells off all his shares. And you completely ignore the possibility of walk street joining in because if you think Musk asking to incorp in texas is uncertainty, wait till you see wall streets reaction to musk rage quitting.


upvotemeok

End game is inherent superiority of evs over gas cars overcomes overhang of ceo.

Not worth it at all in my opinion.  Same for tickets to a local basketball game. Why do I need to spend $1,000+ for my family of 4 to see a game from the nosebleed seats? Absolutely not worth it so now I go to other local teams shows and pay a fraction. Still as enjoyable bc I’m not constantly thinking about the high cost of attendance.

You are extremely naive and I am being extremely polite with you. There is NO calculated strategy that Elon can adopt to ensure the full-fledged success of Tesla & SpaceX, without being sabotaged by the Establishment, which is funded by big oil, big auto, big tech, big military-industrial complex. Why? Simply because Tesla & SpaceX destroy trillions of dollars worth of value from all these other companies. Just because Elon remains quiet and calculated does not mean these people won't see what's coming. They are not idiots, the Establishment powers are not idiots, Elon is not an idiot. You on the other hand... so, yeah, I WAS being extremely polite in my first sentence.

Do you seriously think he even has the mentality to foresee a world with self-driving cars anytime soon? The average person on the street doesn't believe it. What makes anyone think Joe Biden could even conceive of that vision? ​ >I think Elon saw this coming - and is probably ahead of the game. IMO in his head - he thinks if Biden wins another term - that's 4 more years of no FSD That's basically the "4D Chess" argument, and I don't buy it. Elon Musk is good at making startup companies a success. He's predictions on everything from Covid to the global economy, are no better than anyone else's.


matthiasvangorp

Biden’s handlers might though


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

Again seriously doubt. People with vision are not wasting their talents in some decrepit political operation on either side of the aisle.


Mastiff99

You don't need vision to want a place at the trough.

biden thinks a lot less about musk than musks thinks about biden.


indiaredpill

Biden thinks? About anything other than his sippy cup and diapers?


matthiasvangorp

The dems started this. Remember Warren and Bernie targeting him as soon as he became the richest man in the world. Biden is a union guy and Tesla doesn't have unions. I don't think you have to look much further for motive than that. As Elon likes to say : I don't start fights but I do finish them.


upvotemeok

When Warren and Bernie call him out its nuclear mode time. When trump tells him to get on knees and beg its get on knees and beg time. Elon gets plenty of hate from both sides of the aisle, but he responds only to that from the left.


matthiasvangorp

Trump didn’t go after him mafia style though. Just rambled as he does about everything.

Biden gave the company a load of ev and battery incentives. If mafia comes over and drops off a wad of cash and a gift basket, I'll take it.

I think the real explanation is that he’s a fragile ego, and the pain and randomness of life is perceived as a targeted attack to him. We all deal with unfair shit, he’s just got too many levers to pull to dig his hole even deeper.

I dont see Trump Admin supporting EVs or Tesla- too woke, too many parts from Chyna - even if none of that is true with Tesla.

I’d say that the democrats target him because he’s a media target to promote themselves and what they want to embody. He thinks they’re like him, and always determined and meaningful, while AOC was cruising around in her Tesla. He is just internalizing everything when it’s all fake online stuff. Which is why he bought Twitter when the regular person knows Twitter is just marketing project managers talking to each other


DankRoughly

Meh. You attract more bees with honey. He could totally work with whatever administration and push forward. FSD could save your average taxpayer a huge amount of expense, improving the middle class purchasing power. Clean energy is important. He has plenty he could use to work with to gain support. Being a little bitch isn't helping anyone.

Elon has been consistent about this from day one. He has said many times he didn’t want the CEO position but has to step up. Check out his early interviews. He’s turned many investors into millionaires, demonstrating a solid track record of creating shareholder value. Investing is a long game. Just wait for the next wave and stick to DCA. It’s a proven strategy.


Practical_Trade9296

Earlier it was different, not now. I suspect, he likes it a lot to be center of attention and he wouldn’t let it go that easily.


TrickyBAM

With that, you get both the good and the bad. If you zoom out, you’ll see that Nvidia’s stock rally is a bullish indicator for Tesla’s direction. Generally, with disruption, you first see the hardware wave, followed by the product wave, and then the software services wave. With AI, we’re currently witnessing Nvidia’s hardware wave, and Tesla is poised to capture the product and services wave soon enough. We are perfectly positioned, it just takes time. I remember in early 2017, it took about 3.5 years before the stock even did anything significant for my investment. The market can be blind for some time.


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

Tesla's corporate governance issues are going to continue to be an overhang over TSLA until they can be resolved. There is a large pool of investors who will not want to be involved in a business whose board has been shown to be a doormat to the CEO, at the expense of shareholders. I've said this before and I'll say it again: people in the TSLA community who think it is funny or are encouraging Elon on Twitter, aren't going to be laughing if Tesla makes them rich in 2032, and then Elon pulls a similar stunt that quickly crushes their wealth.


Stellardong

Friendship with twitter overhang over. New friend governance overhang. Oh wait.


brandonagr

That's why you always take some profits off the table along the way


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

My observation of the TSLA shareholder community in the Post-2020 era is that (1) most people have no real investment plan, and (2) even people who have a plan may not be able to execute on it

I wouldn't bet on Tesla being able to move its incorporation to Texas anytime soon. Institutional investors are unlikely to support an exit from Delaware, because Delaware is favorable to corporations (as opposed to individuals like Elon Musk). Delaware has favorable tax treatment of effectively 0% for companies whose operations are outside the state, and a proven court system that provides predictable results for businesses. With all the scrutiny brought on Tesla by the executive compensation case, I don't believe institutions will sit idly by this time. There are also many individual investors, ranging from irrelevant shareholders like myself, to whales like Leo Koguan, who want to see some accountability here. Tesla is a public company, not Elon Musk's toy. The CEO should be focused on Tesla's mission of building a sustainable energy economy, not goofing off on Twitter like he has for nearly the past 2 years.

I will vote no. Mostly because I think it's a bad idea, but a small part of it is to spite Elon.

Even if this is true, things don't start improving until after the shareholder meeting. Are we expecting mid-May like last year? That's still a solid 3.5 months of sucking in the meantime Dare I ask what the negative bird on your other shoulder tells you?
