Every single company the joke works for past and present wants this scourge out of their operations and off the premises. Legal arguments of the defense are as absurd as he is. This is the age of grifters.

People who start trillions of dollars worth of businesses can often
get a fraction of the created value as a payoff. Nothing but jealousy
explains objections to that.

A tech billionaire doesn't consume much more food or air or even
housing than the general population and often does them a lot of good.
Their wealth is mostly pieces of paper or bits spinning on a drive
somewhere.

You should create something and grift a bit yourself. We won't mind.

Musk didn't start Tesla. Any success they have is despite him. Their stock capitalization is 100% hype, and they'll fade into the sunset soon. Their legacy will be lots of angry people who were ripped off.

Oh, that's so WRONG. The people 'who start' may be good with gab and
smiles on camera, but the people who PAID IN to get things happening
were being ripped off by serving all the greens to the smiley-face.

Elon deserves what his stake in the company amounts to, just like
the other stockholders do. His stake is quite adequately large for
compensation, even if he has to do extra smiles... the judge
will also allow him a bonus as an executive, but... the executive position
is NOT more important financially than stock ownership.

Then don't pay in and you won't be ripped off.

If the shareholders don't want him to have a bonus, he won't get one.
Nothing to get worked up about.

Not 'worked up', it was shareholders, with standing to sue, that took
the matter before the judge.

It's not getting worked up, it's getting a lawyer that is called for.
