biographer / charlatan bracket:michael lewis vs isaacson vs SBF vs musk
I'm inclined to think SBF was less of a charlatan than musk but not sure why. Maybe he's just in a more huckster-y field to begin with?Also, ironically maybe there's "utility" in his inadvertently exposing tenured philosophers as craven hucksters themselves by association.With Elon, I guess he revealed who Grimes really was.

Though it’s got nothing on Trump’s “if you need legal services I strongly suggest you DONT hire Michael Cohen” one
A Delaware judge on Tuesday ruled in favor of the investors who challenged billionaire Elon Musk’s $56bn Tesla pay package as excessive, a court filing showed. The judge found that Musk’s compensation was inappropriately set by the electric-vehicle maker’s board and struck down the package. If the decision survives any potential appeal, the Tesla board will have to come up with a new compensation package for Musk.
Maybe they can agree to something more reasonable and austere, like $45 BILLION

salute Richard Tornetta
Isn’t this the Board’s decision to make?The suit was filed by Richard Tornetta, some unknown heavy metal drummer who owned only 9 shares at the time the suit was filed!How does a drummer with 9 shares even know enough about the compensation package to file a suit?

i skimmed the ruling quickly and my gut says there's a decent chance this gets overturned on appeal because delaware loves capitalism

― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Wednesday, 31 January 2024 12:57 (one year ago)
think what ultimately may be hard to reconcile is that delaware loves shareholders... so here, this comp plan was good for shareholders since it forecast 10x'ing the stock price. but it was also bad for shareholders because it diluted shareholders by giving a bunch of stock to musk.
so is it good or bad for shareholders where they could 10x their stock (good) at the expense of some dilution (bad)? is setting a goal of 10x enough to overcome bad process? will delaware abide seeing companies start incorporating in nevada?
― 龜, Wednesday, 31 January 2024 14:52 (one year ago)
Presumably they easily saw that the forecast of 10x stock price was as thorough a piece of bullshit as every other Tesla/Musk forecast.
