Elon Musk Must Return $56 Billion Tesla Pay Package, Judge Rules

“Absolute corruption,” the Tesla CEO complained on social media.

Elon Musk’s massive 2018 pay package from Tesla — which was worth $56 billion and helped catapult him to the title of richest man in the world — must be rescinded, a Delaware judge reaffirmed Monday.

Kathaleen St. J. McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled that Tesla, which asked her to reconsider her original ruling in January, failed to prove that its compensation plan for the Tesla CEO was fair. She stuck with her original decision that the company’s board was under too much influence from Musk when it approved the massive payment in the form of stock options.

Michigan state Rep. Josh Schriver (R) rebuked gay marriage in a Monday social media post that has drawn backlash from some of the state’s top Democrats.

“Make gay marriage illegal again,” Schriver wrote on the social media platform X. “This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme.”

The elected official, who self-identifies as a Christian in his X bio, has been adamantly opposed to same sex marriage for years.

This is controversial, it IS extreme, and we will fight this tooth and nail.Fuck this bullshit.

South Korean parliament votes to defy president by lifting his declaration of martial law

 South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law late Tuesday, vowing to eliminate “anti-state” forces as he struggles against an opposition that controls the country’s parliament and that he accuses of sympathizing with communist North Korea.

Less than three hours later, parliament voted to lift the declaration, with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik declaring that the martial law was “invalid” and that lawmakers “will protect democracy with the people.”

Police and military personnel were seen leaving the Assembly’s grounds after Woo called for their withdrawal. Lee Jae-myung, leader of the liberal Democratic Party, which holds the majority in the 300-seat parliament, said the party’s lawmakers will remain in the Assembly’s main hall until Yoon formally lifts his order.
