Money ill spent

The other week stockholders of Tesla agreed to a $56B payout to a boss whose interests are elsewhere, whose sales figures are falling and who has seen a precipitous drop in stock price. What are those people/institution/bots thinking?

The other week I visited the Franklin Delano Roosevelt home in Hyde Park NY. It’s well worth a visit if you’re nearby. Even if you’re not, it worth a visit. Here’s and inscription I saw there.

We’ve got record homelessness in this country. We have older folks wondering how they’re going to make it through retirement and some dumb schmucks give $56B to a boss heading a struggling company losing market share. Can someone explain to me what’s wrong here?
