Don’t Cry For Me, Elon Musk

Big Red Car — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 04:48:56 +0000

Elon Musk, whose 2012 employment agreement compensation was the largest in US corporate history, is angry that the Delaware Chancery Court invalidated his 2018 employment agreement (also the largest in US business history).

COVID Exposes The Weaknesses

Big Red Car — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 22:38:50 +0000

Business environments are impacted by laws, regulation, and leadership. This happens at the state level. The business environment in, say, New York and California is different than the business environment in Texas. COVID and the pressure upon Governors — the CEOs of their states — to steward the business environment in their states whilst simultaneously […]
