Well, Tesla "decided" to pay 55bln to Musk. The court had to step in to prevent that.

Maybe the system we have in place that decides how much CEOs get is due for update?

No, that's socialist. We should give them more money because they few actually pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps. They're simply better than we are in every way.

The system didn't make a decision on how much the CEO gets paid. It made the decision that the board of a public company can't give the shareholders money to their friends.

Crazy!

Delaware should also reorganize Tesla so that shareholders have a vote as to how Musk is paid—just like every other public company.
