Tesla is awarding CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares of restricted stock valued at approximately $29 billion, just six months after a judge ordered the company to revoke his massive pay package.

The electric vehicle maker said in a regulatory filing on Monday that Musk must first pay Tesla $23.34 per share of restricted stock that vests, which is equal to the exercise price per share of the 2018 pay package that was awarded to the company’s CEO.

    Could they, though? It’s another cult, and if Glorious Leader leaves, so do the simps and therefore the profits.

      There are definitely a lot of culty fanboys out there, but I doubt they account for anywhere near the majority of Tesla customers. They’re going to see a huge sales dip this year as a result of musk’s political fuckery. Hopefully people don’t forget who he is and that sales dip continues until they go out of business. Stupid decisions should be punished.
