African Musk: Not a Fragrance

[Stavros]

What a dope. Is he concerned about those other 'one party states', like Wyoming, Texas and Wisconsin, to name just three, and the means used by that one party to secure power? When he colonises Mars, will it be a multi-party democracy?

Completely agree Elon-Right Wing Loving Assclown-Musk is a dope. The more he opens his mouth,the more idiotic he sounds.

So, Elon Musk sings from the same song sheet as the Ambassador to the Court of St James from the New Soviet Union, or Novyy Sovetskiy Soyuz, or новый советский союз for the Trolls in St Petersburg with a dark sexual secret lurking in these pages...

But if the New Soviet Union cannot be beaten, the obvious alternative question is: can it win?

One wonders if Mr Musk, his friend in London, and probably Tucker Carlson -who now prefers Moscow to any city in the USA- agree with the Party Line.

I am aware that people working for Elon Musk have done great things with technology -at some point if it is proprietary now, it will in time become universal, with or without him and his company taking a cut of the profits.

But this is beyond obscene, it is almost without meaning. The meaning that it has, that Musk did not get a salary also does not make sense -did he not have shares in the company?

Then irony is he is so rich he could exist without the salary 99% of workers rely on. But the figure- no, it is simply wrong, and I can't understand the shareholders who would approve it, as it makes a mockery of that elusive thing called a 'business decision'.

When CEO salaries went through the roof 20-25 years ago, we were told in a global economy it was market rates. Are CEO salaries or more importantly, annual income, to be measured in Billions? But can we stop it?

"Tesla’s shares are down 28% this year. It has warned of “notably” slower growth as sales in its second-largest market, China, fall. A defect forced a recall of its highly anticipated latest product. The chief executive spends a lot of time at other companies or generating controversy. How do you reward him? With a record-breaking $56bn pay deal, if Tesla gets its way at its annual meeting on Thursday.
"Denholm [Tesla Chair] appealed to shareholders again last week, saying there was a risk Musk would step back from Tesla if they did not back his pay package this week. “If Tesla is to retain Elon’s attention and motivate him to continue to devote his time, energy, ambition and vision to deliver comparable results in the future, we must stand by our deal,” she wrote."
