Le Monde: Judge strikes down Musk's $56 bn pay package despite shareholder vote
A Delaware court has rejected Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package as Tesla's CEO, despite shareholder approval. The court found flaws in the ratification process and ruled that the compensation did not serve investors' best interests.
The court also awarded $345 million in attorney fees, significantly less than the $5.6 billion requested. Musk's compensation plan, originally approved in 2018, faced challenges over its fairness and the independence of board members involved in the decision.
The Western Journal: Media Leftists Missing Key Difference Between Biden's Pardon of Hunter and Trump's of Kushner
President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter Biden differs significantly from Donald Trump's pardon of Charles Kushner. While Kushner had served time for his crimes, Hunter faces serious charges, including tax evasion and lying on a federal form, and was set for sentencing before the pardon.
Critics argue that Biden's action is an attempt to shield both himself and his son from legal consequences, as Hunter's pardon means he will serve no time despite more severe wrongdoing. Comparisons to Trump's pardon of Kushner are seen as misleading, given the contrasting circumstances of their cases.
