The Delaware Supreme Court has reinstated Elon Musk’s 2018 compensation package, initially valued at $56 billion, after a lower court dismissed it as “unfathomable.” This ruling, which overturns a previous decision that damaged Delaware’s business reputation, allows Musk to benefit from significant stock options tied to Tesla’s performance. Since the plan’s approval, Tesla’s stock value has surged, making the options potentially worth around $120 billion. The court’s decision follows a lawsuit that questioned the board’s approval process, prompting concerns about corporate governance in Delaware.
