Description
Tesla gave Elon Musk a stock grant of $29 billion on Monday as a reward for years of “transformative and unprecedented" growth despite a recent foray into right-wing politics that has hurt its sales, profits and its stock price.
In giving its billionaire CEO 96 million in restricted shares, the electric car company noted that Musk hasn't been paid in years because his 2018 compensation package has been rejected by a Delaware court. The award comes eight months after a judge revoked the 2018 pay package a second time. Tesla has appealed the ruling.
