why does he need such a big pa

why does he need such a big pay package? What kind of CEO is he that needs to threaten the survival of his organization just to get a big payday?

It's ridiculous that people should support it JUST so that Tesla shares can rise? The money can be better put to R&D to enhance their technology OR share buybacks. Its shares will similarly rise without the need to pay him that much.
