Elon Musk’s Tesla Pay Package Is Voided by Judge

Shareholders had sued, arguing that Mr. Musk’s compensation — which helped make him the world’s richest person — was excessive.

He was not a favourite debater in the public-house, being too quick and overbearing. He irritated the older men by his assertive manner, and his cocksureness. They listened in silence, and were not sorry when he finished.
