Then you have poo poo like Bobby Kotick getting a 400 mil golden parachute after presiding over a scandal and sexual harassment-filled tenure at Blizzard. gently caress the corpos.

Not really, was only ever worth $280 because of Elon lying it's still worth an inflated $200. Long term if you remove Elon's pie in the sky dreams that aren't happening are directly said no we aren't working on this... it's likely to drop to $50, which is what it was before Covid. Tell me this isn't a bubble with a straight face.

Genuinely he only bought it because he didn't realize his 420 joke about buying all Twitter stock for significantly more than the actual value of the stock was legally binding.

It wasn't. But then he went and got his lawyers to draft up an ironclad contract in Twitter's favor, signed it and whoops he could not wriggle his way out of this one.

These stock options were from a long time ago and were actually tied to stock price and revenue triggers.

The decision in this case was essentially that Musk is the controlling shareholder, so how much the board decides to pay him is reviewable when it wouldn'tbe otherwise (Delaware law!). Then that there was no true negotiation and the extra stock is outside of what was reasonable to pay.

Thank you

edit: now what I dont understand is why he needed a loan to buy twitter when his salary is 56 billion
edit 2: in my defense: I knew CEOs get paid, of course, I didint know it was called "compensation package" and while I do know CEOs get a lot of money, 56 billion seems unreal for a paycheck to me

It's called a compensation package because if it was called a salary, more people than you might start thinking that this was just a convenient fiction. This group would include the tax office.

This boils down to how well you think you can invest the money you have vs how much interest you will get charged on a loan.

If you have $1MM and can get 10% pa on that money and the bank will lend you $1MM at 3% pa then you're paying them $30,000 / year in interest while making $100,000 / year on the money you actually have. That is $70,000 going in your pocket.

Banks will be happy to lend to you because you have the capital for them to chase down if this fails.

The whole financial system is built on this so you have a huge number of people with fat stacks all riding on it never coming down. They will burn everything to the ground before trying to fix it (see the 2008 financial crisis for example).

Companies have a fiduciary duty to investors. This explains both parts of your question.

If you are an executive at a company that is paying lots of money to the shareholders:
- people say nice things about you and it's good for your future career prospects
- the board of executives (hired/fireable by shareholder vote) is happy with you and you keep your job/they give you a big bonus
- you personally are also probably a shareholder

If you pay lots of money in taxes and not so much money to shareholders, those people are mad at you instead and you might get fired

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PC_MxxVOq0 I like how this one is extorting grain or whatever by spitting, then runs back to menace the passenger some more.

Here’s an alpaca spitting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45FIuawfMak

Lady should have known to scooch back as soon as those nostrils flared and the alpaca started making those hocking noises. They’re just so darn cute, though, that people who know that camelids* spit literal bile for a variety of reasons forget to tell those that don’t know, I guess.

*All species under the camelid family may not spit bile, but camels, alpacas, and llamas can not be trusted not to launch bile mixed with evil at you. Now I should go look up if all of the other classified with those 3 do.
