IMO forward looking statements are something that Tesla and the board had every right to make or withhold, and interpret with their own emphasis, regardless of how predictions might turn out, as long as the terms of the compensation package were met in the stated timeline.
You clearly don't know my "history" on TMC or why I was banned, but of course that doesn't stop you from making things up to fit your narrative, which seems to be your standard operating procedure. I've been supporting Tesla since before most people had ever heard of them and spent countless hours defending Elon. What I don't do is blindly excuse his mistakes.
Yes Pay the man! he earned every penny against all odds and risking it all including his reputation and honor. Regardless the amounts involved, any shareholder private or institutional willing to renig on that package when its time to pay up is just plain greedy, shameless and without honor. Elon and Tesla is working for the greater good of all, that is what America is all about, values lost on those greedy individuals.
It's not just Kimbal, and there are things you can do to prevent the appearance of conflict. Until the prior suit, I didn't know he was on the board, either. I just assume all boards are corrupt, like you do.
It's fraudulent if you're withholding them and they're the basis of a pay package.
So it's okay if he lied about the odds when shareholders voted before?
I do know your history on TMC, because you used the same profile image and I've read thousands of your posts (unfortunately) and, yes, the majority of them had negative perspectives that I didn't feel were supported by the facts. You often hate on Elon and rarely give him credit for anything.
No, I don't think all (or even most) boards are corrupt. It's not corrupt to be related to the CEO or have social interactions between the CEO and board members. It's a small world, knowing someone doesn't mean you can't do your job.
Voting again would be a great option if the clock could be turned back. The problem is greedy shareholders might not be as generous now that the work has already been successfully completed. That's not fair to decide how much to pay someone to do a job AFTER they have already completed the job under the assurances they were being paid a higher amount.
Elon hasn't shown anything of the sort. He's actually been very restrained considering how he's being attacked by people without 1/10th the tenacity he has.
'Restrained' Dude, don't even go there.
Wrong, I cleverly disguised myself here by adding the Cyber roll cage to it.
You need to read the other thousands before Elon lost his sh!t.

What you call a "spat" or a "tantrum", I call exposing what's wrong in America. Elon is trying to bring high paying manufacturing jobs back to the United States and that requires that people understand why the odds are stacked against the United States. And its not just because workers cost more here.
Tesla's BoD has been completely above the board through this entire process. They didn't lie about anything.
You have a lot to learn about corporate governance. The Board of Directors is as independent as the shareholders make it. Remember, the people who own the company vote on who to staff the BoD with. But don't worry, apparently some law students turned into judges don't understand corporate governance either, or how innovation and good vision drive productivity and thus our standard of living. Elon is doing a good thing bringing these travesties to light in an attempt to slow down our descent into becoming a third world country.
