Elon Musk’s joy is well-founded when Tesla shareholders voted to re-award the $46 billion that the Delaware court had previously rejected. Thus, Elon Musk will receive the largest bonus ever received by a CEO in history.
This result was achieved after a lobbying campaign by Tesla’s board of directors warning that Elon Musk could leave if he did not receive a worthy remuneration.
