A Delaware judge ruled against Elon Musk's $50 billion compensation package for a second time, citing procedural flaws. Chancellor Kathleen McCormick of the Court of Chancery reaffirmed her January decision, stating that the process lacked independence due to Musk's influence over Tesla's board. Despite a second shareholder vote supporting the package, McCormick maintained that a conflicted-controller transaction could not be ratified, emphasizing the importance of proper procedure. Tesla has vowed to appeal the ruling, which could lead to a higher court revisiting the issue.
