To clarify, a majority of *voting* shareholders must ratify the package. The first time this happened, institutions owned about 70% and *always* vote their shares. Currently, about 46% of TSLA is institutional. Getting retail to vote is like getting ... people to vote. With the near-term issues surrounding TSLA, especially of a manically-distracted CEO, it is conceivable this does not pass. However, and more important, is the reincorporation of TSLA to TX from DE. That requires a majority of *all shares to vote* in favor. If the first succeeds and the second fails, then another trip to DE Chancelry is in the near future. Since the DE court voided the $50 B version, I can see the institutions saying "thank you, we will stay here and not move to the wild west where "he needed killin" is still a defense under the law."

Ive heard the phrase, I just thought people would use it cause the m/b/t can sometimes be hard to distinguish when hearing them.

COKE is the US distributor. KO is the actual company that owns Coca Cola rights etc. COKE may have a share price of $937 but with under 9.4 million shares it has a market cap of around $8.8 B. KO meanwhile has nearly 4.3 *billion* shares at $63 and a market cap over $270 B. KO is an SP500 company, COKE is not. AAPL has a market cap in the trillions, with a "t". KO is around 1/2 a percent of the SP500 index weight; AAPL is over 6% of the index.

Spike like this can be ridden out by rolling it since it will fizzle quick. That was my plan B. If it goes to the moon and stays, then that's another story.

Probably a lot of day traders trying to scalp. Also shorted shares are there. If a short seller shorts a share and borrows from person A and sells to B both A and B can trade a share

Well let's make sure we're clear on exactly what that $56 billion pay package is. * [https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/business/tesla-shareholders-musk-pay-package/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/business/tesla-shareholders-musk-pay-package/index.html) >*"The pay package gave Musk options to buy 303 million split-adjusted shares of Tesla at the cost of $23.34 a share each. At the time that a Delaware court threw out the pay package in January, it was worth $51 billion. But a drop in the value of Tesla shares since then has reduced its value to $40.7 billion."* So these `*options*` are going to expire if he does absolutely nothing. He's got to sell them or exercise them. > _"B) shareholders vote no and the board gives it to him anyway."_ That sounds like a lawsuit that the shareholders would likely win.
