A Delaware judge moved Monday to confirm its confiscation of Elon Musk's wealth that he created at Tesla — denying him a compensation package that would be worth over $100 billion in value today.
Musk has paid a heavy price for countering woke politics, making X a neutral platform, and backing Donald Trump for president.
Delaware Chancellor Judge Kathaleen McCormick on Monday ruled to confirm her January ruling that found Musk was not eligible for a 2018 compensation package then valued at $56 billion.
McCormick complained the Tesla package for Musk was the "biggest compensation plan ever — an unfathomable sum."
After McCormick had initially ruled that Musk had not gotten proper approval from Tesla shareholders, Musk filed suit.
