What happened
A Delaware judge Monday upheld her rejection of Tesla's $56 billion compensation package for CEO Elon Musk. Court of Chancery Judge Kathaleen McCormick initially struck down the package in January, agreeing with plaintiffs that the 2018 pay deal was improperly negotiated with an insufficiently independent board of directors. The package's stock options are now worth more than $100 billion, based on Tesla's closing price yesterday.
