Musk's SpaceX IPO compensation insulated from lawsuits

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Elon Musk has structured his compensation package for SpaceX's upcoming IPO to be highly resistant to shareholder lawsuits, unlike his previous Tesla award. The new package, potentially worth up to $1.1 trillion, is detailed in the IPO registration statement and SpaceX is now incorporated in Texas, which has more restrictive legal claim requirements. While the performance targets, including a Mars community and off-world data centers, are described as improbable, they are designed to ensure Musk retains significant control over SpaceX through super-voting shares, regardless of whether he achieves these ambitious goals.
