So basically, he wants his salary to be Twitter’s purchase price and some change. That seems totally reasonable as compensation.
It’s funny that he’s asking for what amounts to an undo button for this colossal mistake he made in buying Twitter.
“Please give me exactly enough cash to bail myself out of all this Saudi debt that I took on when I memed myself into a legal requirement to acquire Twitter”
I hope this gets him booted from Tesla. It’s an open secret that he doesn’t run the show anyway, he just has enough power to force them to develop boondoggles like the Cybertruck.
Here’s the article; the link in the OP points to a discussion thread.
The chair ought to be questioning whether the company should continue to employ someone who needs that much “motivation”, not urging shareholders to give it to him.
Nothing could possibly benefit that company as much as Elon Musk getting demotivated and no longer coming in to work.
I remember when Bill Gates was the richest person on the planet with $45 billion total and it was covered in all the news. Things have gone more out of control than anyone could’ve imagined.
And Bill sold his soul honestly with hard work, not instead of it
Grab 5 of the top engineers, sales people, and marketing at the company, double their pay, and grant them a $1,000,000,000 bonus in 5 years time if they beat certain performance metrics. Have them sit on a board as coCEOs and watch true motivation. Kick out the guy that’s demanding 3 times your annual income as “motivational” compensation.
Save $46 billion and have musk leave? Thats win-win if I’ve ever seen it.
