Pay Dirt! Elon’s Pay Package, X’s Payments Plan – Elon, Inc.
Last week, we wondered whether Elon Musk would get his pay package approved in a shareholder vote—and we got our answer.

To help answer that question, Elon, Inc. has convened its regular panelists, in the form of Max and Dana, as well as Delaware courts reporter Jef Feeley. And later on, Kurt Wagner comes on to talk about his scoop about X’s plans to become a payment service, and Max Read, of the Read Max newsletter, shares his thoughts on why X has decided to hide its “likes.”
