The ruling comes just after Mr Elon Musk’s wealth hit an all-time high thanks to a Tesla stock rally following the presidential election. Mr Elon Musk’s record-setting Tesla pay package was again rejected by a Delaware judge even after shareholders supported reinstating it. Despite the June 13 shareholder vote at the company’s annual meeting, Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick decided to stick with her original finding in January that the company’s board was too much under the influence of the billionaire entrepreneur when it adopted the plan in 2018. The stock options package was initially worth US$2.6 billion (S$3.48 billion) and spiked to US$56 billion by the time the judge cancelled it. The package was worth US$101.5 billion at Dec 2’s closing price. Judge McCormick’s ruling striking down the highest-ever pay arrangement for a US corporate executive could take a giant bite out of Mr Musk’s wealth. Even without the payout, he remains the world’s richest person. Tesla shares fell 1.4 per cent in after-hours trading. The ruling comes just after Mr Musk’s wealth hit an all-time high – surpassing the previous record of US$340.4 billion set in November 2021 – thanks to a Tesla stock rally following the presidential election and a new funding round for his artificial intelligence startup. Richest person Mr Musk, 53, spent much of October campaigning for Donald Trump, including speaking at a Madison Square Garden rally in New York City about a week before the election. The president-elect has tapped Mr Musk to co-lead a cost-cutting effort that the new administration is calling “DOGE,” or the “Department of Government Efficiency.” Tesla and its board, which includes Mr Musk, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. In Dec 2’s ruling, McCormick awarded US$345 million to the lawyers who fought Mr Musk and Tesla to kill the pay plan. While that amount was far less than the attorneys’ request to be compensated with 29 million Tesla shares – more than US$10 billion at the company’s current share price – it’s still among the largest lawyer paydays in the history of US litigation. “We hope that the Chancellor’s well-reasoned decision will end this matter for the shareholders of Tesla,” said lawyers at the firm of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann who won the ruling on behalf of shareholder Richard Tornetta. Possible appeal Mr Musk now has 30 days to decide whether to appeal McCormick’s ruling under Delaware law. Unlike the US Supreme Court, the state’s highest court reviews all appeals of lower-court rulings. The billionaire is expected to contest McCormick’s finding that Tesla directors awarded him excessive compensation because they were handcuffed by conflicts of interest. He had previously said he needed a bigger stake in Tesla to maintain control of the electric-car maker and expand further into artificial intelligence. “There were undoubtedly a range of healthy amounts that the board could have decided to pay Musk,” Judge McCormick wrote in her 101-page decision. “Instead, the board capitulated to Musk’s terms.” BLOOMBERG Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom believes a heavyweight clash between Nigeria’s Efe Ajagba and Martin Bakole would be “a great fight” as both camps work towards finalising the IBF title eliminator bout, PUNCH Sports Extra reports. The IBF has ordered No.4-ranked Bakole to face No.7-ranked Ajagba after both Agit Kabayel and Zhilei Zhang opted to face each other instead of the Congolese fighter, leaving him without an opponent for his next fight. “That’s a fight that we’d like to put on,” Shalom said. “Obviously Martin’s fought on Riyadh Season cards and I’m sure they’d be interested again, but it’s a fight we’d like to put on, more because he’s one fight away now from fighting for a world title.” Ajagba, who boasts a record of 20-1 with 14 knockouts, is coming off a career-best split decision victory over Guido Vianello and has already signalled his readiness for the bout with a confident “Let’s go” on social media. The Nigerian heavyweight, nicknamed “The Silent Roller,” earned the WBC silver title earlier this year and is promoted by Top Rank, who according to Shalom, are eager to make the fight happen. Related News Ajagba to battle Bakole in IBF mandatory Ajagba poised for world title shot Joshua drops six places, Ajagba 10th in WBA rankings “Ajagba’s a great fight and I believe, from speaking to Top Rank, that it’s a fight that they would not be ducking out of,” Shalom added. Bakole’s stock has risen considerably following his fifth-round demolition of previously unbeaten American prospect Jared Anderson in California last August, after which he declared, “You don’t stand with Martin Bakole. I am a big man, and I am a machine. No one wants to fight me.” The winner of the bout will become the mandatory challenger for IBF champion Daniel Dubois, who is scheduled for an optional title defence in February, with a potential unification bout against the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury rematch on the horizon. “Fighting Martin Bakole, would you want your heavyweight fighting Martin Bakole? People have probably looked at the last few fights and seen what’s happened to Jared Anderson, and he can make very good fighters look very average,” Shalom noted. “Once he gets his world title, it will be impossible to avoid him.” With both fighters known for their heavy hands – each boasting 14 knockouts on their records – the clash promises to be an explosive encounter between two of boxing’s emerging heavyweight forces.
Manchester City, led by the tactical prowess of Pep Guardiola and boasting a star-studded lineup including Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, and Ruben Dias, are expected to face tough competition in the playoffs. However, with their attacking flair and defensive solidity, City will be confident of navigating their way through the additional hurdles to reach the knockout stages.According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) , this year's Thanksgiving holiday travel period is projected to be the busiest ever recorded for scheduled commercial flights. From Tuesday, November 26, through Monday, December 2, TSA estimates it will screen approximately 18.3 million travelers as they pass through security. This is also a 6% year-over-year increase from a similar period around Thanksgiving in 2023. Specifically, TSA expects the busiest travel day for commercial fliers to take place on Sunday, December 1st, when it predicts to screen more than three million individual passengers. Not only will there be a significant increase in commercial travelers, but the private aviation industry will most likely see a jump as well. A record Thanksgiving travel period followed by Christmas and New Year's. A recent increase in private jet travel The private aviation industry has seen significant growth over recent years. Specifically, the industry saw a large jump in private jet operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many business executives and wealthy travelers wanted to continue to travel without worrying about social distancing. As the COVID-19 pandemic ended, many of these wealthy travelers went back to the commercial airlines. However, numerous travelers who began flying privately in recent years have continued to fly privately. Overall, private jet flight operations have increased steadily and have remained above operations recorded in 2019, which was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Flying privately gives travelers the ultimate flexibility. These travelers have the ability to take off whenever they choose, instead of relying on strictly scheduled commercial flights. Travelers can also fly direct routes from their home airport to their required destination, as long as the business jet they are utilizing has the range to reach the destination. Additionally, private jet fliers have a larger number of airports to depart from and land at. Because private jets are typically smaller than commercial airliners, private jets have the ability to land on shorter runways at smaller airports. This greatly increases the number of destinations that private jet travelers can reach. How will the private aviation industry be affected during the holidays? As TSA expects to see a significant increase in travelers, it makes sense that the private aviation industry also expects to see a surge in requested flights. Simple Flying spoke with Cory Bengtzen, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SkyShare, one of the leading private aviation providers based in Salt Lake City, Utah, about this increase. Bengtzen stated, "Aside from the holiday season as a whole, Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel periods throughout the year. So there is an added element of convenience and peace of mind for families when they have the opportunity to fly privately. With airport congestion and the possibility of flights getting delayed or canceled altogether, private flights afford travelers the opportunity to make the most of their long weekend." The SkyShare Founder also mentioned that the private jet provider sees the biggest surge in flights in the two or three days just before Thanksgiving. This aligns with the TSA's projection of the busiest days during the November holidays. Joel Thomas, the President of Stratos Jets, also spoke with Simple Flying about the expected surge of private jet flights. Thomas stated, "The days and weeks leading up to Thanksgiving mark one of the busiest periods for private aviation." Thomas also mentioned that Stratos Jets is expecting an initial surge to occur on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, as travelers head home for the holiday. Stratos Jets is also expecting a surge on both Friday and Sunday after Thanksgiving, aligning with TSA's travel projections for the holiday.
