   There is nothing a single person has ever ever ever ever done or will ever ever ever ever do in all of time and space that merits paying them 56 billion dollars—

   Madness. Obscenity. Ludicracy

     @futurebird Assuming Tesla has sold 6 million vehicles in total (the exact number is probably lower, but not far off) that bonus is equivalent to almost $10k for every vehicle they've ever sold.

     That's on top of his existing compensation. Even if one were to argue it was "deserved", I don't see how that works out financially. The company's revenue has been slowing down; that kind of compensation bump seems irresponsible just looking at the business side of things.

     Shocking as it is, getting back to the form of capitalism where corporate profits were what mattered most would actually be an •improvement• over the current status quo, where humans and companies alike exist only for kleptocrats to strip mine and then discard.
