The deal on the table is all performance based. If the shareholders agree to the deal, and Musk delivers, they’ll be making many multiples vs. todays stock value.

Meanwhile, he hasn't even been paid for 7 years because some crazy far left judge in Delaware canceled his last compensation package after he'd already met the very steep requirements, despite shareholders voting TWICE for it.
Democrats are lawless and will do anything to maintain power.
