Elon Musk Gets $139 Billion Pay Package Restored After Years-Long Battle

After a lengthy legal battle with a Delaware judge, Elon Musk has finally gotten his $139 billion pay package from 2018 reinstated. The news comes as a significant win for the Tesla CEO, who had faced opposition to his massive compensation deal.

The original agreement was made in 2018, when Musk led an initial public offering (IPO) of Tesla stock. At the time, he was granted options to buy up to 20.3 million shares at a fixed price, which could have potentially earned him around $50 billion if exercised immediately. However, it wasn't until this year that a Delaware judge gave the green light for Musk's team to begin exercising those options.
