The disputed pay package allows Musk to buy 1% of Tesla's stock at a deep discount each time escalating performance and financial targets are met; otherwise Musk gets nothing. Does Elon Musk work for the board or does the board work for Elon Musk," said Minor Myers, a professor at UConn School of Law. Myers said if the pay package is rescinded, the board could simply create a new one and do so with McCormick's ruling to guide them.
