Musk’s $56 Billion Tesla Pay Package: Legal Battle, Corporate Exodus, and Future Implications

Current and former Tesla directors, who are defendants in the case, maintain they committed no wrongdoing and argue that Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick misinterpreted both facts and law in her January 2023 ruling voiding the pay deal.
