What Is Next for Musk After Judge Rules Against Him in Tesla Pay Case?

Delaware Judge Rejects Elon Musk's $56 Billion Tesla Pay Package

A Delaware judge has rejected Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion compensation package for a second time. The ruling caused Tesla stock to drop 1.9% in after-hours trading. This decision comes after a shareholder vote in favor of the pay package. Musk's record-setting pay plan has faced multiple rejections and may be appealed to the state's high court.
