Tesla’s sales are falling across the globe—from the UK to China to California. So why did the board just hand Elon Musk a $29 billion pay package? In this video, we break down the contradictions at the heart of Tesla’s current moment: collapsing demand, the Cybertruck debacle, the robotaxi fantasy, and a boardroom that seems more loyal to Musk than to shareholders.We’ll explore:Why Tesla’s fundamentals are weakeningHow Musk’s pay compares to other CEOsThe governance crisis behind the headlinesWhether Tesla is still a growth company—or just a cult stockThis isn’t just about one company. It’s about how corporate governance is bending under the weight of celebrity, and what happens when hype outpaces performance.
