Yeah, I'm split on the issue. The court was right on the technicalities around disclosure, but it was also plain as day the board was musks buddies and the stockholders still approved it the first time.

Could the board have negotiated a better deal if they weren't buddies? Probably, but that's why board composition matters.

The judge said they thought Musk would have made the milestones without the comp because he already had skin in the game.

Ex-post facto recontacting is just icky overall.
