Judge rules Elon Musk can’t keep $55bn Tesla pay package: Tech & Science Daily podcast

A judge has ruled that Elon Musk must give up a compensation package awarded by Tesla's board of directors that is potentially worth more than $55 billion.

The Delaware court decision comes five years after a shareholder lawsuit targeted the Tesla chief executive and the directors.

The company is incorporated in the state, which means some legal matters involving Tesla have to take place there.

The defendants were accused of breaching their duties, resulting in a waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment of Musk.
