Tesla is awarding CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares of restricted stock valued at approximately $29 billion, just six months after a judge ordered the company to revoke his massive pay package.
The electric vehicle maker said in a regulatory filing on Monday that Musk must first pay Tesla $23.34 per share of restricted stock that vests, which is equal to the exercise price per share of the 2018 pay package that was awarded to the company’s CEO.
Normally I’d say yes, but I’ve been saying people should short Tesla for 7 years now, and if I’d stuck with that I’d be flat broke.
I’m sure they’d find a way to keep manipulating it so that shorting it continues to be the losing play
