Musk and his potential trillion dollar pay package

[Come On You Irons]

This sums up more than anything how screwed up the modern world is. One man potentially sent to be awarded a 13 figure pay package if "targets" are met.

Clown world. And evil too.

[Alfs]

It won't be long until he's on here boasting of his 13 figure salary.

[nychammer]

yes he'll be paying a handsome amount in taxes but it will never be enough for some people

[nychammer]

that's one fortieth or so of the entire US National Debt and one over a quarter of the entire UK GDP. Mind boggling.

[Iron Duke]

I’m sure he’s paying his fair percentage of tax, so nothing to worry about. Right?

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

That level of pay buys an election changing number of votes.

Talk us through that one comma.

Or if you’re in Poland, a years worth of cabbages.

now you torking 

[THUNDERCLINT]

Or if you’re joyo, a years worth of cabbages.

 

[WHU(Exeter)]

How is a trillion pa any differently, morally, than a million. Or, if you are a penniless sub saharan, say, ten thousand dollars?

Privately owned company, therefore none of your/our business. Unless you're a shareholder, then you can try to boot him or reduce his salary and see how you get on.

Save your indignation for all the waste in the public sector. You actually pay for that.

This 100%.

The shareholders of Tesla (thats the owners) voted for this. It's their decision to make.

People piss and moan about a socialist mayor of NYC then moan about a free market capitalist pay award.

[honky cat]

I think it's a stunt to be honest, lots of strings attached. I think he has to get 1 million self driving  taxis on the road to achieve it?

But for the bigger picture, individuals and corporations are approaching the point of having more wealth and assets than small/3rd world nations, so I expect the world will be carved up on non geographic lines in the future. Private armies, subscriptions replacing taxes, agm's replacing parliaments etc. Workhouses.

I blame 'phone' people.
And thatcher for privatising everything

Ratched, you're an effing bloke mate

Happy to oblige, petal.

If the targets are increasing the value to shareholders then he will earn it

Good luck to him. Hopefully all the commies and failures annoyed by this will drown it their own salty tears.

I'll second that.

I'd also challenge anyone who thinks that is (way) too much to state exactly how much they think he is worth paying, along with how, exactly, they came to those conclusions.

[THUNDERCLINT]

Good luck to him. Hopefully all the commies and failures annoyed by this will drown it their own salty tears.

Either he hits them "Targets." Or he becomes the Fall Guy.?

Remember. "When the Money gets tight. The Shit gets real.!"
