    Tesla is giving Elon Musk $29 billion worth of Tesla shares to keep him "on board". On a scale of ridiculous, this is off the charts.

    Off the charts?? He took Tesla to where it is and the Board of Directors thought it would help the bottom line if he stayed.

    If people don't like this don't buy Tesla stock.

    Private companies who's primary objective is profit make choices based on that model.

    Long Live Free-enterprise!!! and Donald Trump!!!

    How ridiculous is it to award the CEO who has dragged the company up from near extinction to the world's most profitable, partly by preventing the Wall Street proxies from infesting the board with their short-term ROI as a goal.

    Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.
